Disagree without dismissing the person

I disagree with {{person}} on this: {{their view}}.

Copy this prompt

I disagree with {{person}} on this: {{their view}}. My reason: {{my reason}}. Help me say it while attacking the idea, not the person: (1) restate their point accurately, showing I understood it; (2) name the part I agree with; (3) introduce the disagreement with 'what worries me is', raising only one core issue with evidence; (4) offer an alternative direction instead of just saying no; (5) close with a question that returns the decision to them without dropping my position. Under 150 words.

How to use it

Replace the {{variables}} with your own details, then paste the whole block into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other assistant. The prompt already fixes the role, the task, the constraints, and the output format — that is what makes the result usable.

Chinese version

我不认同 {{对方}} 提出的 {{观点}},理由:{{我的理由}}。请帮我说出来,做到对事不对人。结构:1) 先准确复述对方观点(证明我听懂且尊重);2) 指出我同意的那一部分;3) 用「我担心的是」引出分歧,只讲一个核心问题,附证据;4) 给一个替代方向而不是只说不行;5) 用提问收尾,把决定权交回但保留我的立场。不超过 200 字。
