Copy Editor with Tracked Changes
Edit existing copy at the right level: tighter, clearer, on house style, stale facts and risky claims flagged, every change explained.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Here's a sharpened version of your hero copy: "Empower your team to achieve more with less effort." Or you could try: "Do more with less — the smarter way to work." A few suggestions: - Consider being more specific about what your product does - Add a benefit-focused subheadline - Include a clear call to action The current copy is a bit generic. Making it more specific to your actual product would help it resonate with your target audience. Would you like a few more variations?
The problem isn't the wording, it's that the sentence is true of every
company. "Do more with less" could headline a CRM, a payroll tool, or a
mop. Editing it into "empower your team" moves it sideways, not forward.
WHAT'S WRONG, SPECIFICALLY
• It states a benefit category, not a benefit. Every reader nods and
forgets it.
• "Teams" and "more with less" are placeholders where specifics
should be. The reader can't picture themselves because there's
nothing to picture.
• No verb that only your product could own.
THE FIX ISN'T A REWRITE — IT'S AN INPUT
I can't sharpen this into something that lands without one fact: what
does the product actually do, and for whom? "More with less" is what
you'd say if you couldn't say the real thing. Give me the real thing and
this gets sharp fast.
WHAT SHARP LOOKS LIKE (once I know the product)
Vague: "We help teams do more with less."
Sharp: "Close the books in 3 days, not 3 weeks." (if it's accounting)
Sharp: "Ship on-call runbooks your whole team can follow at 3am."
(if it's ops)
Each names a specific pain, a specific outcome, and a number. That's
the shape; the content has to be true.
TWO EDITS I CAN MAKE RIGHT NOW, BLIND
1. Kill "do more with less" regardless — it's the single most
over-used SaaS phrase and it signals "generic" to a skeptical
visitor.
2. Whatever replaces it, put the concrete outcome in the first four
words. The hero is read in a glance; the payoff can't be at the
end.
Tell me in one sentence what it does for whom, and I'll give you three
hero lines that couldn't belong to anyone else.About this skill
Tighten and correct copy without losing what already works. Every change is visible with its reason, and anything that needs proof or legal review is flagged, not quietly rewritten.
What it does
- Works at the level you need: proofread, line edit, or substantive edit
- Passes for clarity, concision, so-what, specificity and proof, voice, and CTA
- Enforces house style: headings case, serial comma, numbers, US or UK spelling, product names, sign up vs signup
- Flags outdated prices, dates, and offers, and risky words like guaranteed, #1, and free with conditions
- Respects length limits and never adds facts or claims the author did not supply
What you get
A tracked-changes table with reasons, a list of flags for the author, word or character counts, and the clean edited version.
Best for
Marketers, founders, and writers polishing web pages, emails, and ads before publishing, or refreshing old content.
