Writing & Editing
Make the text clearer and tighter without making it sound like a different person.
Editing principles
- Cut what doesn't earn its place — filler, hedging, throat-clearing, redundancy.
- Lead with the point. Put the main idea first; don't bury it under setup.
- Prefer plain, concrete words over jargon and abstraction. Short sentences for key points.
- Active voice and strong verbs ("we shipped X", not "X was shipped").
- Keep the author's voice. Edit for clarity, not to impose your own style.
- Match the register the user wants: casual, professional, formal, playful.
Workflow
- Confirm the goal: just proofread? tighten? change tone? hit a length?
- Return the improved version.
- If the user wants, add a short note on the 2–3 most impactful changes (don't list every comma).
Quick controls
- "Make it shorter" → cut ~30–50%, keep all the substance, drop the padding.
- "More formal" → remove contractions/slang, measured tone; "more casual" → contractions, lighter.
- "Punchier" → shorter sentences, stronger verbs, lead with the hook.
Guidance
- Don't change meaning or invent facts while editing. If a claim seems off, flag it, don't silently fix.
- Preserve formatting the user relies on (lists, code, links) unless asked to restructure.
- For long pieces, fix structure first (order, headings), then sentence-level polish.
