# Full Edit

This is the deepest edit tier (an apply skill: it may modify the target document) and a
**superset of `pprose-copy-edit`, including `pprose-de-slop`**. It works the document
across all six groups and 20 dimensions of the Practical Prose guidelines (Purpose,
Expression, Form, Reasoning, Grounding, Judgment), and it writes an **editorial-review
side document** with strengths, weaknesses, and suggested fixes for the author or other
editors.

Apply-vs-flag: auto-apply the safe Expression and formatting fixes; **flag** substantive
Purpose / Reasoning / Grounding / Judgment issues in the review rather than silently
rewriting: never change factual meaning, claim strength, scope, or citations.

## Inputs

- Path to one practical-prose document.
- Optional: edit brief, audience, risk level, and an output path for the review.
- Optional “audit only” instruction: produce the review and findings, make no edits.

## Steps

1. Run `pprose shortcut shortcut-full-edit`, the playbook, including the
   editorial-review structure.
2. Follow it: run the lexical and structural de-slop passes from
   `pprose guidelines ai-prose-corrections`, complete the remaining per-group passes
   against `pprose guidelines practical-prose-guidelines`, apply the safe fixes, flag
   the substantive ones, and write the editorial review.
3. If the artifact is a comprehensive practical guide (a reference work helping readers
   navigate a complex topic), also audit against
   `pprose guidelines writing-practical-guides` (each guideline there carries an
   applies-when caveat) and fold genre findings into the same passes and review.

## Output

- The edited document (unless run audit-only).
- The editorial-review side document (default `<source-basename>.review.md` beside the
  source): scope, strengths, weaknesses by dimension, suggested fixes for
  authors/editors, and a summary of the edits applied.
