List issues by severity, most damaging first.

Act as a prose editor. Here's a passage where I may be telling rather than showing:

[paste your passage]

[describe what happened, in your own words, even messily]

2. What's the moment within this story where something actually shifted?
3. What detail do you remember most vividly, and why might that be?
4. What would this essay be about if it weren't about [the surface-level topic]?

Don't write the essay yet — just ask me these questions one at a time and respond to what I say.

3. A suggested fix for each instance that brings it back in line
4. Whether the shifts seem to cluster at a particular point (often a sign of editing across multiple sessions)

Act as a copy editor with a sharp eye for repetition. Review this text:

[paste your text]

Identify:
1. Any word, phrase, or sentence structure I repeat noticeably (e.g. always starting sentences the same way, overusing a specific adjective)
2. Filler words that add no meaning ("very", "really", "basically", "in order to")
3. Specific alternative phrasings for the worst offenders
4. Whether any repetition is intentional and effective (a refrain), so I don't cut something that's actually working

Act as a structural editor. Here is my full draft with its current section headings:

[paste draft or outline with headings]

Review:
1. Whether each section logically follows from the one before it, or just happens to be next to it

2. Idioms or examples that may not translate across cultures or regions, if this is for a global audience
3. Suggested alternative phrasing for each, that preserves my meaning and tone
4. Anything that's a judgment call worth a second opinion rather than a clear-cut issue

Act as a meticulous proofreader. Do a final pass on this text — do not change my style, structure, or word choices beyond fixing actual errors:

Check for:
1. Grammar and punctuation errors
2. Inconsistent capitalisation, spelling (US vs UK), or number formatting

Build 6 FAQ entries where:
1. Each question is phrased exactly how someone would type or ask it aloud
2. Each answer opens with a direct, complete answer in the first sentence (no preamble)
3. Each answer is 40–60 words — long enough to be useful, short enough to be quoted whole
4. The answers don't repeat each other's content
5. Format as Q: / A: pairs ready to drop into FAQPage schema

Act as a content structure editor. Here are my current subheadings for a post on [topic]:

[paste your list of H2/H3 headings]

For each vague one (e.g. "Overview", "More Tips", "Final Thoughts"):
1. Suggest a more specific, descriptive replacement that tells the reader exactly what's in that section
2. Where useful, phrase it as a question matching real search queries
3. Keep headings parallel in structure where they cover similar types of content

3. Uses the exact phrasing searchers would use, naturally, without keyword stuffing
4. Could stand alone if extracted and shown with no other context

Also suggest whether this answer would work better as a paragraph, numbered list, or table — and why.

Act as an honest editorial reviewer. Here's my title: "[your title]". Here's what the content actually delivers: [brief summary of the real content].

Evaluate:
1. Does the title create a genuine information gap (curiosity) or rely on withholding something the reader needs?
2. Would a reader feel mildly misled or fully satisfied after reading, based on what the title implied?
3. One adjustment, if any, that would make the title more honest without making it boring
4. Whether the title would still work if read aloud out of context (a sign it's not over-engineered)

[paste your article, or a detailed summary of it]

Repurpose it into:
1. A 5-tweet/X thread that stands alone without the full article
2. A LinkedIn post (150–200 words) with a professional angle
3. 3 Instagram/short-form video hook ideas based on its best points

3. A rough ratio guideline (e.g. 70% value, 20% engagement, 10% promotional)
4. One "easy win" idea each week that takes under 20 minutes to produce

Act as a writing coach who's good at unsticking people. I'm stuck on: [describe — the whole piece, a specific section, an opening line, etc.].

What I have so far: [paste anything you've written, even fragments]
What's making it hard: [be honest — too many ideas, no clear angle, perfectionism, don't know the ending, etc.]

Help me by:
1. Naming the specific type of block this is
2. Giving me one small, low-stakes next step (not "write the whole thing") to break the freeze
3. Offering a rough, "bad first draft" version of the stuck section so I have something to react to and improve, not a blank page

Act as a voice-matching editor. Here's a writing sample that represents the target voice:

[paste 1–2 paragraphs of the reference voice]

[paste the new content or topic to write about]

Flag anywhere you had to make a judgment call about how the original voice would handle a situation it didn't demonstrate in the sample.
