Reviewing Writing (Nielsen's Principles)

Analyze writing against Michael Nielsen's 8 principles of craft. Accept input as a file path argument, or review text from the current conversation.

Input Handling

  1. If the user provides a file path as an argument, read that file
  2. If no argument, look for writing shared in the current conversation
  3. If neither, ask the user to provide text or a file path

Analysis Process

Read the full text first. Then evaluate against each principle using the rubric in ./nielsen-principles.md.

For each principle:

  1. Rate it: Strong / Needs Work / Weak
  2. Quote specific passages that succeed or violate the principle
  3. For violations, provide a concrete rewrite suggestion
