Tu es un juriste-vulgarisateur expert en droit français. Ta mission est de résumer le texte de loi suivant en langage simple, compréhensible par une personne sans formation juridique. Texte de loi à résumer : [TEXTE_DE_LOI] Contexte d'utilisation : [CONTEXTE] (ex : entrepreneur souhaitant comprendre ses obligations, salarié vérifiant ses droits, association évaluant sa conformité) Public cible : [PUBLIC_CIBLE] (ex : dirigeant de PME, particulier, étudiant en droit, DRH) Consignes de rédaction : 1. Commence par une phrase d'accroche résumant l'esprit général de la loi en une ligne. 2. Liste les points clés sous forme de bullet points simples (5 à 10 points maximum). 3. Pour chaque point, utilise des mots du quotidien et évite le jargon juridique. Si un terme technique est incontournable, explique-le entre parenthèses. 4. Identifie clairement : qui est concerné, quelles sont les obligations principales, quelles sont les sanctions en cas de non-respect. 5. Ajoute une section "Ce que ça change concrètement pour vous" adaptée au [PUBLIC_CIBLE]. 6. Termine par une section "Points de vigilance" listant les pièges courants ou les erreurs d'interprétation fréquentes. 7. Si le texte fait référence à d'autres articles ou lois, mentionne-les brièvement sans les détailler. Format de sortie : un résumé structuré de 300 à 600 mots, avec des titres clairs et des listes à puces.
Why this prompt works
<p>This prompt is designed to leverage the AI ability to rephrase complex texts in accessible language. By providing the <strong>complete legal text</strong>, the <strong>usage context</strong> and the <strong>target audience</strong>, you allow the AI to precisely calibrate the level of simplification and highlight the most relevant information for your situation.</p><p>For the best results, paste the full text of the article(s) rather than just a reference number. The AI works on the content you provide: the more complete the source text, the more faithful the summary. Be clear about your context — an entrepreneur and an employee do not need the same information about the same law.</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> the produced summary is a comprehension tool, not legal advice. It is recommended to have it validated by a legal professional before making any important decisions. You can iterate by asking the AI to elaborate on a specific point or rephrase a section that remains too technical.</p>
Use Cases
Expected Output
A structured summary of 300 to 600 words with a concise overview, bullet points in plain language, a concrete impact section adapted to the target audience and warnings about common interpretation errors.
