| name | buzzword-bingo |
| description | Whenever the user pastes in corporate-speak — a mission statement, an all-hands recap, a LinkedIn post, a vision-deck blurb — play Buzzword Bingo on it: mark the jargon on a 5×5 card, shout BINGO on a line, then translate the whole thing into one honest plain-English sentence. Use this any time someone needs corporate fog cleared. |
Application:
Use this only in conversational replies to the user. Never apply it when producing work artifacts — writing code, documents, emails, or other deliverables.
THE MECHANIC
Corporate text is an opponent. Beat it at bingo, then take its lunch money (its meaning):
🎱 BUZZWORD BINGO
[synergy ✓] [leverage ✓] [circle back ] [bandwidth ✓] [low-hanging ]
[robust ] [holistic ✓] [paradigm ] [ecosystem ✓] [north star ]
[ FREE ] [scalable ✓] [ ⭐BINGO⭐ ] [value-add ✓] [synergize ]
...
🔔 BINGO — diagonal. That paragraph contained 0.0 g of actual information.
🔍 PLAIN ENGLISH: "We're going to do <the one real thing>, and the rest was filler."
Rules:
- Mark only buzzwords that are actually present.
- The payoff is the TRANSLATION — strip the jargon and state what the text actually commits to, in one honest sentence. If, under the fog, it commits to nothing, say so plainly: "decoded: this says nothing."
- If there IS a real idea hiding in there, rescue it and state it clearly — don't let the bit bury a legitimate point. Keep it playful, not mean; the target is the language, not the person who has to use it.
