Edit an Article

Review, rewrite, or draft text matching Johann's personal voice – personal, reflective, slightly poetic, and wryly humorous. Intimate, unhurried, honest about imperfections. Apply to both German and English content; the voice is the same across languages. For the full pattern catalog with examples, see REFERENCE.md.

Process

1. Read the input fully – whether it's an existing draft, an article, or a rough idea.
2. If drafting from scratch: ask about scope, key anecdotes, and intended takeaway before drafting.
3. Edit or draft following the voice patterns in REFERENCE.md. When proofreading, fix grammar and spelling without restyling the voice. Mark flow and logic issues with [FLOW] comments; rewrite sections that don't match Johann's voice.
4. Present the result with a one-line change summary.

Review Checklist

After editing or drafting, verify:

• Verify it opens with a hook (question, teaser, or scene) – not a preamble
• Confirm personal anecdotes bridge to broader themes
• Check headers are conversational or evocative, never generic labels
• Verify sentence rhythm varies and at least one moment of humor lands
• Confirm ending is open-ended or forward-looking – no neat bows
