What changes in Claude's response

Watch what happens to a sentence like 'It might be worth considering whether we should perhaps look into refactoring the auth module at some point soon.' /punch turns it into 'Refactor auth. Soon.' Use it on anything you wrote when you were tired — first drafts, slack messages you're about to send, the README intro you've been editing for an hour.

When NOT to use /punch

Don't /punch legal text, apologies, or anything where softening is the whole point. It will make you sound like you're firing people.
