Send Me the Mental Model, Not the AI Email

When AI writes the message, the sender's underlying mental model matters more than polished output. Share the intent that should become the prompt, system, and result.

"If you're going to use an LLM to write me an email, I'd much rather you just send me the prompt; at least then I'd have an idea of what you actually meant to say." — Tom Hudson

Give me your "mental model." It becomes your prompt, system, and output.
