draft-review-kit

Reads your writing through the meanest, least-charitable lens. Challenges every claim, questions every assumption, pokes holes in the logic. Use for later drafts when you want hard feedback.

Run a multi-round deliberation between reviewers. Unlike /panel (which synthesizes), /debate has reviewers respond to each other's arguments across rounds until tensions resolve or reach acknowledged stalemate.

Review a draft for big-picture issues—argument, structure, stakes, and payoff. Invoke with /dev-edit after drafting or with any draft the user provides.

Checks writing for clarity and accessibility. Flags jargon without explanation, hand-wavy process descriptions, and skipped steps. Ensures content is specific enough for experts AND clear enough for newcomers. Use when reviewing technical or process-heavy writing.

Scan any Every draft for recurring editorial-review failures: clarity and evidence gaps, argument problems, mechanics red flags, second-order AI tells, and, for Working Overtime only, column-specific voice tics and structural throat-clearing. Use when reviewing or polishing Every writing before submission. Reports findings with line-level diagnoses and suggested fixes. Pairs with ai-check and every-style.

Cuts ruthlessly. Flags every adjective, adverb, and unnecessary word. Demands you kill your darlings.

Reviews for suspense and tension. Where's the bomb under the table? What does the reader know that someone doesn't?

Deep, rigorous pass for sentence- and word-level issues. Delivers a clean draft with a summary of changes. Invoke with /line-edit after dev-edit or with any draft.

Reads your writing from a loving, supportive, but not-quite-getting-it perspective. Surfaces where you've lost the general reader.

Convene a panel of reviewers to analyze a draft from multiple perspectives, then synthesize their feedback into consensus findings, productive tensions, and prioritized recommendations.

Finds the funny. Looks for moments that could be mined for humor, absurdity, or self-deprecation.

Checks pacing and momentum. Is there enough forward motion? Are you walking and talking or standing still?
