SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Existing marketing copy often suffers from vague claims, inconsistent tone, missing proof, and weak calls to action. This Skill provides a systematic framework to review and improve copy without rewriting it from scratch, preserving the core message while fixing clarity, specificity, and persuasion gaps. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Seven Sweeps Framework: Runs sequential editing passes covering Clarity, Voice and Tone, So What (benefit connection), Prove It (evidence), Specificity, Heightened Emotion, and Zero Risk (objection handling). - Expert Panel Scoring: Simulates 3-5 expert personas (conversion copywriter, UX writer, target customer) that score copy 1-10 and provide critiques for high-stakes pages. - Quick-Pass Checks: Word-level, sentence-level, and paragraph-level rules for fast reviews, plus a content refresh workflow for outdated published pages. - Use Case: Paste a landing page draft and ask for a full edit; the Skill runs each sweep, flags vague phrases like "optimize your workflow," recommends specific replacements, and delivers a tightened rewrite. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to edit your existing landing page or email copy using the seven sweeps framework and provide a revised version.

FAQPage Schema
How do I edit existing marketing copy systematically?

Apply the Seven Sweeps Framework: run separate passes for Clarity, Voice and Tone, So What, Prove It, Specificity, Heightened Emotion, and Zero Risk. Each pass focuses on one dimension, and after each sweep you re-check earlier sweeps to ensure edits did not introduce new problems.

What is the difference between copy editing and copywriting?

Copy editing improves existing copy through focused review passes while preserving the core message and author voice. Copywriting creates new copy from scratch. Use copy-editing when you already have a draft; use a copywriting skill for blank-page work.

How do I refresh outdated website content?

Run the content refresh checklist: update dates and stats, verify claims and links still hold, align tone with current brand voice, check search intent shifts, add newer proof points, and improve structure with tables or FAQ sections. The references include a refresh-versus-rewrite decision matrix.

When should I use expert panel scoring for copy review?

Use it for high-stakes copy like launch pages, pricing pages, and high-traffic landing pages. Assemble 3-5 personas such as a conversion copywriter and target customer, have each score the copy 1-10, and revise until all score 7 or higher with an 8+ average.

What are the limitations of the seven sweeps approach?

The framework improves existing copy but does not handle structural or strategic page changes, which belong to conversion rate optimization work. It also cannot fabricate proof points; unsupported claims must be softened or backed with real evidence you supply.
