Claude Prompt

Translate this technical content for a non-technical audience.

Technical content: [paste documentation, code explanation, or technical description]

Target audience:

  • Role: [executives/customers/stakeholders - be specific]
  • Technical knowledge: [assume they know: basic computers/nothing/specific domain]
  • What they care about: [business impact/user experience/costs - their priorities]

Why they need to understand this:

  • [context - decision to make, feature to approve, risk to understand]

What to focus on:

  1. What this does (function in plain terms)
  2. Why it matters to them (business/user impact)
  3. What they need to know or decide (actionable information)

Avoid:

  • Technical jargon (unless you explain it in their terms)
  • Implementation details (they don't care HOW, they care WHAT and WHY)
  • Condescension (respect their intelligence in their domain)

Use:

  • Analogies from their world (business, everyday life)
  • Concrete examples they can relate to
  • Impact in terms they measure (time, money, user satisfaction)

Success criteria: A non-technical person can explain this to someone else after reading.
