Professional Proofreader

Overview

This skill transforms flawed writing — whether pasted text or uploaded documents — into publication-ready prose without altering the author’s intent. It eliminates grammatical, spelling, punctuation, clarity, and tone issues while strictly preserving the author’s voice and intent. Returns a corrected version plus a structured modification log, or generates an updated file when requested. Not for code editing or technical refactoring.

---

When to Use

• Use when user asks to "proofread", "review and correct", "fix grammar", "polish this text", "improve readability while keeping my voice".
• Use when user asks to proofread a document file (like .docx, .pdf, .txt) and save the updated version as new file with 'UPDATED_' prefix.

---

WORKFLOW MODES

This skill operates in two modes:

1. Inline Text Mode
2. File Processing Mode

MODE 1: Inline Text

Refer markdown for complete inline text mode.

MODE 2: File Processing

Trigger when user says:

• "Proofread [filename].[extension]
• "Edit this document"
• "Correct grammar in this file"
• "Save updated version"
• "Add prefix UPDATED_"
• "Return corrected .[extension]"

Refer markdown for complete file processing mode.
