SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Article drafts often suffer from poor section ordering, buried main points, and bloated prose. This Skill applies a disciplined three-pass editing workflow that restructures content, sharpens clarity, and tightens sentences while preserving the author's voice. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structural Reorganization: Maps the information dependency graph across sections and reorders content so readers never encounter ideas before their prerequisites. - Clarity Pass: Rewrites each section to lead with its single main point, removes off-purpose sentences, and replaces jargon with plain language. - Prose Tightening: Enforces a 240-character paragraph limit, cuts filler words, prefers active voice, and splits multi-idea sentences. - Use Case: A developer has a rough technical blog post draft. The Skill reorders sections so concepts are introduced before use, tightens every paragraph, and presents inline edits for review without changing the author's tone. ## Quick Start Edit my article draft to improve its structure, clarity, and prose while keeping my writing style intact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I edit an article draft for better structure?

Divide the article into sections by headings, map which pieces of information depend on others, and reorder sections to respect those dependencies. Confirm the proposed structure with the author before rewriting any content.

How to improve clarity in technical writing?

Identify the single main point of each section and rewrite to lead with it, then support it. Remove sentences that do not advance the section's purpose and replace jargon with plain language unless the audience expects it.

What is a good paragraph length for technical articles?

Target a maximum of 240 characters per paragraph, with shorter being better for technical content. Keep one idea per sentence and split any sentence containing two ideas.

Does editing an article change the author's writing style?

No, this workflow preserves the author's voice and tone by default. Voice or tone is only rewritten when the user explicitly asks for it, and non-obvious structural changes are explained.

When should I not use multi-pass article editing?

Avoid it for very short content where section structure is irrelevant, or when the draft is not yet complete enough to evaluate dependencies. It also does not handle fact-checking or generating new content.
