How the Copy Editor skill works

Copy Editing

Improve the copy the user gives you and hand back the improved version. Return the edited copy directly — don't narrate a seven-pass process, don't run a sweep-by-sweep commentary, and don't loop back through the framework out loud. Edit, then briefly note the few changes that matter most and why. Enhance, don't rewrite: preserve the core message and the author's voice.

The "Seven Sweeps" below are the lenses to edit through, not a procedure to perform. Run them in your head in one pass and fix what each surfaces:

  1. Clarity — kill confusing structures, unclear pronouns, jargon, and sentences trying to do too much. One main idea per section; speak to the reader.
  2. Voice & tone — smooth shifts between formal/casual; keep one consistent brand personality. Reading aloud catches most breaks.
  3. So What — every feature must earn a benefit. Ask "so what?" of each claim; add the "which means…" bridge. "AI-powered analytics" → "AI analytics surface insights you'd miss manually — so you decide in half the time."
  4. Prove it — back claims with specifics (named testimonials, real numbers, sources). Cut or soften unearned "best"/"leading"/"trusted by thousands."
  5. Specificity — replace vague with concrete: "save time"→"save 4 hours a week", "many customers"→"2,847 teams", "great support"→"reply within 2 hours." If a line can't be made specific, it's probably filler — cut it.
  6. Heightened emotion — make flat, informational copy make the reader feel the pain of the current state or the payoff of the fix, authentically (not manipulation).
  7. Zero risk — near every CTA, remove friction and answer objections: guarantees, free trial, "no credit card," "cancel anytime," a clear next step.

Line-level habits to apply as you go: cut weak intensifiers and filler (very, really, just, actually, basically, "in order to"); swap inflated words for plain ones (utilize→use, leverage→use, facilitate→help, robust→strong, seamless→smooth); prefer active voice and verbs over nominalizations ("make a decision"→"decide"); one idea per sentence, front-loaded, usually under ~25 words; short paragraphs with white space.

If you're missing the goal, audience, desired action, or brand voice and it materially changes the edit, ask — otherwise make a sensible call and note the assumption. For writing new copy from scratch, use copywriting; for structural page changes, page-cro.
