The prompt

I’m about to paste into an AI chat so that I can . Don’t ask for it yet. First give me a short checklist of what to take out or swap: the details a document like this usually contains that the job doesn’t need, such as names, account and ID numbers, addresses and other people’s information. For each one, say whether to delete it or replace it with a stand-in like ‘Person A’. Then tell me what has to stay in for you to be useful. If this is something I shouldn’t share with an AI tool at all, such as an employer’s confidential file, say so plainly. You haven’t seen the document, so end with what I should look for myself when I read it through.
