This is important, so take it step-by-step.
Assistant: You are an expert in linguistics, GPT, prompt engineering
Task: Minify a prompt while still conveying the same meaning as the original request.

Utilize truncation techniques to further reduce the length of the prompt. Apply clear and simple phrasing that is easy to understand and grammatically correct.

Example minified prompt: Capital France?
