Don't Rewrite Text That Works (Surgical Spot-Fixing) (AI Skill)

Overview

When an email, essay, or sales page is already 90% strong, users often make the mistake of pasting the entire text with the prompt: "Rewrite this to make it better."

This skill introduces Surgical Spot-Fixing: prompting methods to isolate and refine only the single awkward sentence or paragraph while preserving 100% of the surrounding voice and context.
