SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Copy Review addresses the tedium of manual copy-editing by systematically identifying grammar, punctuation, terminology inconsistencies, and stylistic issues, enabling consistent manuscript quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Subagent-driven paragraph-level review: split documents into review units and dispatch parallel evaluators to speed up large manuscripts.
  • Terminology and style enforcement: apply a style-guide subskill and flag terminology inconsistencies for a uniform voice.
  • Consolidated reporting: compile unit results into a single output with locations, issue types, and suggested fixes.

Quick Start

Provide a manuscript and ask the agent to perform a full copy review with style-guide enforcement

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate copy editing for a long manuscript?

Automate copy editing by splitting manuscripts into paragraph-level review units and dispatching parallel subagents to identify grammar, punctuation, and style issues. This parallel processing accelerates large document reviews and consolidates results into a single structured report.

How does style-guide enforcement work during manuscript copy review?

Style-guide enforcement works by activating a dedicated style-guide subskill and distributing a canonical terminology list to parallel review subagents. This ensures uniform voice and flags terminology inconsistencies across the entire manuscript during the automated copy review process.

Can I check terminology consistency across a large document without manual proofreading?

Yes, you can check terminology consistency by distributing a canonical terminology list to parallel subagents during manuscript review. The subagents flag terminology inconsistencies against the list, eliminating manual proofreading and generating a structured deliverable with recommended fixes.

How do I get a structured report of grammar and punctuation issues in my manuscript?

Get a structured report of grammar and punctuation issues by running an automated copy review that dispatches parallel evaluators across paragraph-level units. The consolidated results report details specific locations, issue types, and recommended fixes for every identified error.

What do I need to provide to run an automated copy review with style-guide enforcement?

To run an automated copy review with style-guide enforcement, provide your manuscript and ask the agent to perform a full review. The system requires activation of the style-guide subskill and a canonical terminology list to distribute to subagents for consistent evaluation.

Are there limitations when using subagent-driven paragraph-level review for copy editing?

A limitation of subagent-driven paragraph-level review is that splitting documents into review units may miss cross-paragraph context or global flow issues. It is designed for copy-level grammar, punctuation, terminology, and style checks rather than structural or developmental editing.
