# Your first refinement

Source: https://refyneit.com/docs/first-refinement

Turn a rough request into a focused instruction.

## Refine text

1. **Choose the text**: Select the request you want to improve. If nothing is selected, Refyne uses the focused field when supported.

2. **Press Fn + Control**: The default shortcut starts the refinement and opens the compact overlay.

3. **Use the result**: Refyne returns the improved instruction and pastes it back into the original app.

## A useful starting point

You do not need to write a polished prompt first. Include the goal, any firm constraints, and the outcome you expect. Refyne can organize the rest.

Note: Example: Fix the settings crash, keep the existing UI, add a regression test, and tell me which files changed.
