proofreader
Proofreader
Overview
This skill catches grammar errors, spelling mistakes, punctuation problems, inconsistent style, and tone mismatches in any written content—emails, reports, blog posts, essays, or marketing copy. It distinguishes between proofreading (surface-level errors) and copy editing (structural issues), applies common style guide rules, and flags commonly confused words. The output is a corrected version of the text with explanations of changes, or a marked-up list of issues depending on your preference.
When to Use
- Final review before publishing a blog post or article
- Checking an important email before sending
- Reviewing a business report or proposal for errors
- Polishing an essay or academic paper
- Auditing marketing copy for consistency and tone
- Verifying consistency in longer documents (capitalization, hyphenation, terminology)
When NOT to Use
- When the content needs to be restructured, reorganized, or substantially rewritten (that's developmental or copy editing)
- When the content is a rough draft that hasn't been reviewed by the author yet—proofread the near-final version
- For technical accuracy checking (confirming facts, code correctness, data)
- When you need a completely new version of the content
