// Copy-edit a Markdown document for language and formatting (the Expression and Form dimensions); modifies the doc. A superset of pprose-common-edit. Use when asked to copy edit, proofread, polish, tighten, rewrite, or line edit.
Git-native issue tracking (beads), coding guidelines, knowledge injection, and spec-driven planning for AI agents. Drop-in replacement for bd/Beads with simpler architecture. Use for: tracking issues/beads with dependencies, creating bugs/features/tasks, planning specs, implementing features from specs, code reviews, committing code, creating PRs, loading coding guidelines (TypeScript, Python, TDD, golden testing, Convex, monorepo patterns), code cleanup, research briefs, architecture docs, agent handoffs, and checking out third-party library source code. Invoke when user mentions: tbd, beads, bd, shortcuts, issues, bugs, tasks, features, epics, todo, tracking, specs, planning, implementation, validation, guidelines, templates, commit, PR, pull request, code review, testing, TDD, test-driven, golden testing, snapshot testing, TypeScript, Python, Convex, monorepo, cleanup, dead code, refactor, handoff, research, architecture, labels, search, checkout library, source code review, or any workflow shortcut.
Apply the common Markdown documentation guidelines to any document; modifies the doc. The basic, universal edit tier. Use when asked to tidy, clean up, conform, fix formatting/structure, or add the footer.
Compare evaluated document versions or variants; read-only on source docs. Use when asked to compare drafts, A/B versions, quality-diff docs, or pick the best.
Score one practical document with metrics and rubric grading; read-only on source. Use when asked to score, evaluate, grade, rubric-check, or measure quality.
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. Use when asked for a deep or full edit, an editorial review, a substantive edit, or a strengths-and-weaknesses review with suggested fixes.

This is an apply skill: it may modify the target document.
It is a superset of pprose-common-edit: it applies the common documentation
substrate and the Expression and Form dimensions (E1–E3 and F1–F3: clarity, coherence,
concision, organization, consistency, formatting) of the Practical Prose guidelines.
It stops short of the substantive dimensions — for a full all-dimension editorial pass
that also writes an editorial review, use pprose-full-edit.
