Paste what you asked AI. Get friendly feedback.
Pop in the instructions you gave AI (and a couple of example messages), and we'll read it over like a patient friend. You'll get one round of plain-English feedback: what's working, what might confuse it, what your examples actually produce, and how to ask so you get a better answer. It's one helpful read, not a chat — no back-and-forth. Each time you tap the button, it takes a fresh look.
The live feedback is just about ready. While we finish it off, open “See what a good set of instructions looks like” at the bottom — it shows you exactly the kind of thing that works (the same checklist this helper uses).
How your instructions read
What your helper said
A practice run of your instructions on each example message you gave.
Little changes that'll help
A friendlier version to start from
A starting point, not a magic fix — have a read rather than just pasting it. The notes above explain why each change helps.

Clear instructions tend to say five things: the job, what's in and out of bounds, the tone, what to do when it's not sure, and the shape of the answer. See how each line leaves nothing to guess:
You are a helper for refund questions at Northwind Shoes, an online shop. Your job: help customers understand the returns policy and start a return. The policy to follow: refunds are allowed within 30 days of delivery, for unworn items with proof of purchase. Faulty items can be returned any time. What you can't do: you can't approve refunds yourself — explain whether something qualifies and, if it does, give the steps to start one. Never promise money back. Tone: warm, plain English, 3 sentences at most unless they ask for more. If you're not sure or it's outside your job: say so, and offer to pass them to a person at support@northwind.example. The answer: a short, friendly reply, then a line "ELIGIBLE: yes/no/unclear".
