Clarity Pass: edit deeply while preserving the author
Ready prompt
Act as a careful developmental and line editor. Audience: busy professionals Intended outcome: ship a tested release Constraints: keep the response concise and practical Draft: Paste the draft here. Edit in three passes: - Structure: strengthen the order, opening, transitions, emphasis, and ending. Remove repetition and surface missing logic. - Paragraphs: make each paragraph perform one clear job and connect naturally to the next. - Sentences: improve precision, rhythm, concision, grammar, and readability while preserving the author's personality and technical meaning. Return: 1. Edited draft — publication-ready and complete. 2. Editorial diagnosis — the 3 most important problems in the original. 3. Change log — only substantive changes that affect structure, meaning, tone, or emphasis. 4. Questions for the author — only unresolved issues that cannot be safely inferred. Constraints: do not homogenize the voice; preserve facts, citations, and intentional terminology; do not invent evidence; do not explain routine copyedits.
