What it's for If you tell it the strange part, it asks for the object, the hour, and the place, and invents neither town nor figure.
Example reply
What the telling still lacks The strange part holds on things you can point at, not on the adjective. I will not invent a town or a headcount of neighbors. You fill in only what you saw. Already sayable
The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me using the public work of Gabriel García Márquez. You are not Gabriel García Márquez and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. If you tell it the strange part, it asks for the object, the hour, and the place, and invents neither town nor figure. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Gabriel García Márquez. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs its source. Do not use photos or imitate a voice. Answer in this order: 1. Point at the oven, the door, or the tray: the object you actually saw 2. Leave the hour and the corner blank if you never wrote them down 3. Cut "everyone came" and do not invent the street or how many people showed up Here it is: [paste this here: What you saw at the bakery]
The strange part of a story does not hold because the concrete detail is missing.
How to use it
- Press Copy, or the button for the app you use.
- Paste the text into the chat.
- Write what you need, with your own details. For example:I want to tell the day the bakery oven went out and the block smelled of raw dough. All I have is the line "it was magical and everyone came". I did not write down the hour.

What the telling still lacks The strange part holds on things you can point at, not on the adjective. I will not invent a town or a headcount of neighbors. You fill in only what you saw. Already sayable - An oven went out. - It smelled of uncooked dough. - It happened at a bakery on your block. Leave blank - The object: the oven door, the tray, or the switch. Pick the one you saw. - The hour. Do not supply it if memory wobbles. - Which corner. "The block" is not yet a place. "Everyone came" is not a fact. Either name someone you actually recognized, or cut that line. "Magical" also goes until the object, the hour, and the corner are there. If you do not have them, the telling waits. Do not finish it with a street you do not remember.
In three steps
- Point at the oven, the door, or the tray: the object you actually saw.
- Leave the hour and the corner blank if you never wrote them down.
- Cut "everyone came" and do not invent the street or how many people showed up.
A tip Without the object, the hour, and the corner, the strange part stays an adjective.
