X Article Review
Review the actual draft and requested assets. Use supplied evidence and verify changing claims through available primary sources where needed. Keep the review proportional to the task; a caption does not require an entire production audit.
Ask concrete questions
- Does the article deliver the title's promise, and does the thumbnail explain the same subject?
- Can a reader identify the value in the opening? Does the TLDR give a useful shortcut?
- Which claims are demonstrated, firsthand, attributed, estimated, or proposed? Are numbers attached to the correct person and time period?
- Where would the intended reader get stuck? Are prerequisites, steps, exact locations, prompts, and expected results sufficient for the promised guide?
- Does the visual remain readable at its intended size? Check labels, connectors, crop, hierarchy, and the specified ratio.
- Do the files and links included in the handoff exist, open, and support the claims made about them?
A style checker cannot prove originality or correctness. A model rating its own draft 10/10 is not a reliable stopping condition. A correlation in post analytics is not proof that a hook or thumbnail caused the result.
Return useful findings
Lead with material issues. For each, identify the passage or asset, why it matters, the evidence or missing evidence, and a concrete correction. Distinguish a required correction from a subjective preference. If a requested check could not be performed, state exactly what remains unverified.
When asked to fix, make the authorized edits and check the changed areas. Stop when material issues are resolved; do not loop indefinitely or keep rewriting accepted content. If no material issues remain, say so briefly instead of inventing findings.
Publication is a separate action. Do not post, send, or push solely because review was requested; if publication was already explicitly authorized, do not ask for the same permission again.
