To tighten verbose prose without changing its voice, apply mechanical and structural edits such as paragraph splitting, redundancy removal, and section reordering. This preserves the author's tone while improving readability across design docs and proposals.

The best way to restructure a README for better flow is mapping the document into sections and reordering them to respect information dependencies. Moving asides to footnotes and demoting redundant headings also maintains structural comprehension.

To remove redundant sentences and split run-on paragraphs in an ADR, apply structural edits that enforce a strict transformation protocol. This mechanical tightening process compresses the document while preserving the original architectural intent and voice.

Structural editing for readability works across tutorials, proposals, READMEs, and design docs. The process applies allowed transformations like paragraph merging and section reordering to any long-form document requiring tightened prose and improved flow.

You can merge or promote orphan paragraphs into their own subsection during documentation editing. This structural transformation demotes redundant headings and fixes clarity issues by ensuring paragraphs are correctly grouped within the document hierarchy.

Mechanical prose tightening is limited to structural transformations like redundancy removal and section reordering. It does not rewrite content or alter the author's voice, meaning it cannot fix fundamentally flawed arguments or missing technical details in design docs.
