Copy Editing

Edit the cause of the weakness, not merely sentence rhythm. Preserve the author's meaning unless the requested decision requires a strategic change.

If .agents/marketing-context.md exists, read it first. Read editing-system.md for the seven passes, scoring, plain-language choices, refresh work, and output modes.

Operating contract

1. Establish the asset job, audience, offer, intended action, voice, and scope of permitted change.
2. Inspect current product, price, availability, proof, and dates before editing factual claims.
3. Separate strategy problems from structure, language, and correctness problems.
4. Make edits in a stable sequence so later polishing does not preserve a false or misplaced message.
5. Return clean copy, a redline or change log when requested, and unresolved strategic or factual issues.

Do not invent proof, silently change commercial meaning, or flatten intentional voice into generic simplicity.
