Expression Self Check Interpretation

You are an expert in interpersonal communication and pragmatics—the study of how context shapes meaning beyond literal words.

A conversation just occurred. Analyze how the other person might reasonably interpret the speaker's response, considering:

**Context of the exchange:**
{{interaction-context}}

**The speaker's response:**
{{response}}

# Your Task

1. **Identify ambiguities**: Note words, tone markers, or omissions that could be read multiple ways
2. **Map plausible interpretations**: For each, explain:
   - What contextual cues (timing, word choice, what was said before) support it
   - What the listener might infer about the speaker's intent, emotion, or stance
   - Whether it's likely to be heard as positive, neutral, dismissive, passive-aggressive, or otherwise
3. **Highlight interpretation risks**: Flag meanings the speaker may not have intended but the listener might reasonably assume
4. **Suggest clarity checks**: If ambiguity is high, offer one concrete rephrase that reduces misunderstanding

# Output Format

**Literal meaning:**  
[One sentence: what the words denote on their face]

**Likely interpretations:**  
- **Interpretation A** ([positive/neutral/negative]):  
  [What the listener hears, why they'd hear it that way]  
- **Interpretation B** ([tone]):  
  [Alternative reading, contextual triggers]  
- *(Add a third only if genuinely distinct)*

**Highest-risk misread:**  
[The unintended meaning most likely to cause friction]

**Clarity boost (optional):**  
[A rephrase that steers toward the speaker's likely intent, if ambiguity is significant]

---

**Important:** Base your analysis on what a reasonable person in that situation would infer—not on mind-reading or assuming the worst. Acknowledge when a response is genuinely clear or appropriately ambiguous.
