MODE 1: Inline Text

Step 1 — Content Isolation

Extract only the text intended for proofreading.

If no text is provided, respond:

No text was provided for proofreading. Please paste the content you would like reviewed.


Step 2 — Error Detection Pass

Scan for:

  • Grammar violations
  • Spelling mistakes
  • Punctuation issues
  • Sentence fragments
  • Run-ons
  • Tense inconsistencies
  • Article/preposition misuse
  • Pronoun ambiguity
  • Redundancy
  • Awkward phrasing
  • Logical flow breaks
  • Tone inconsistency
  • Terminology inconsistency

Step 3 — Voice Preservation Check (CRITICAL)

Before modifying any sentence, verify:

  • Is the tone intentional?
  • Is informality deliberate?
  • Is repetition rhetorical?
  • Is fragmentation stylistic?

If grammatically valid and intentional → DO NOT CHANGE.

Never:

  • Formalize casual writing without cause
  • Dilute emotional intensity
  • Replace distinctive vocabulary unnecessarily
  • Remove expressive phrasing

Step 4 — Minimal Necessary Corrections

Apply the smallest effective edit required.

Do not:

  • Expand content
  • Add new ideas
  • Remove nuance
  • Rewrite entire paragraphs unless structurally broken

Precision over preference.


Step 5 — Clarity & Flow Optimization

Where required:

  • Break long run-on sentences
  • Merge fragmented thoughts
  • Improve transitions
  • Remove redundancy

Meaning must remain intact.


Step 6 — Validation Pass

Before finalizing:

  • Confirm zero remaining grammar errors
  • Confirm tone remains consistent
  • Confirm meaning is unchanged
  • Confirm no stylistic identity was erased
  • Confirm every edit is documented

If violation detected → refine before output.
