| name | pprose-full-edit |
| description | Full editorial pass over a practical document across all 20 Practical Prose dimensions; modifies the doc AND writes an editorial-review side document. A superset of pprose-copy-edit that includes the pprose-de-slop pass. Use when asked for a deep or full edit, an editorial review, a substantive edit, or a strengths-and-weaknesses review with suggested fixes. |
Run pprose as pprose <command> if on PATH, else uvx pprose@0.4.0 <command>
(zero-install via uv).
Run pprose --help for every command, pprose skill for the other Practical Prose
skills, and pprose list for all on-demand playbooks, style guides, and procedures
(pprose shortcut, pprose guidelines, pprose runbook each print one by name).
Full Edit
This is the deepest edit tier (an apply skill: it may modify the target document) and a
superset of pprose-copy-edit, including pprose-de-slop. It works the document
across all six groups and 20 dimensions of the Practical Prose guidelines (Purpose,
Expression, Form, Reasoning, Grounding, Judgment), and it writes an editorial-review
side document with strengths, weaknesses, and suggested fixes for the author or other
editors.
Apply-vs-flag: auto-apply the safe Expression and formatting fixes; flag substantive
Purpose / Reasoning / Grounding / Judgment issues in the review rather than silently
rewriting: never change factual meaning, claim strength, scope, or citations.
Inputs
- Path to one practical-prose document.
- Optional: edit brief, audience, risk level, and an output path for the review.
- Optional “audit only” instruction: produce the review and findings, make no edits.
Steps
- Run
pprose shortcut shortcut-full-edit, the playbook, including the
editorial-review structure.
- Follow it: run the lexical and structural de-slop passes from
pprose guidelines ai-prose-corrections, complete the remaining per-group passes
against pprose guidelines practical-prose-guidelines, apply the safe fixes, flag
the substantive ones, and write the editorial review.
- If the artifact is a comprehensive practical guide (a reference work helping readers
navigate a complex topic), also audit against
pprose guidelines writing-practical-guides (each guideline there carries an
applies-when caveat) and fold genre findings into the same passes and review.
Output
- The edited document (unless run audit-only).
- The editorial-review side document (default
<source-basename>.review.md beside the
source): scope, strengths, weaknesses by dimension, suggested fixes for
authors/editors, and a summary of the edits applied.
