Adapt content for different audiences while preserving core accuracy—changing tone, depth, emphasis, and framing to match audience expertise, goals, and context.

Translation/reframing adapts content between audiences by preserving semantic accuracy (what is true) while changing presentation (how it's communicated). Four fidelity types:

1. Semantic fidelity (MUST preserve): Core facts, relationships, constraints, implications remain accurate 2. Tonal fidelity (adapt): Formality, emotion, register change to match audience expectations 3. Emphasis fidelity (adapt): What's highlighted vs. backgrounded shifts based on audience priorities

Use when content must be translated between audiences with different expertise, context, or goals while preserving accuracy but adapting presentation. Invoke when technical content needs business framing (engineering decisions → executive summary), strategic vision needs tactical translation (board presentation → team OKRs), expert knowledge needs simplification (academic paper → blog post, medical diagnosis → patient explanation), formal content needs casual tone (annual report → social media post), long-form needs summarization (50-page doc → 1-page brief), internal content needs external framing (roadmap → public updates, bug tracking → known issues), cross-cultural adaptation (US idioms → international clarity, Gen Z → Boomer messaging), medium shifts (written report → presentation script, detailed spec → action checklist), or when user mentions "explain to", "reframe for", "translate this for [audience]", "make this more [accessible/formal/technical]", "adapt for [executives/engineers/customers]", "simplify without losing accuracy", or "same content, different audience". Apply to technical communication (code → business value), organizational translation (strategy → execution), education (expert → novice), customer communication (internal → external), cross-cultural messaging, and anywhere same core message needs different presentation for different stakeholders while maintaining correctness.
