Overview
Fix errors, tighten sentences, preserve the voice. Correction is not rewriting.
Pass order
- Accuracy - names, numbers, dates, titles (a wrong name is the worst error)
- Grammar & spelling - agreements, conjugation, homophones (FR: a/à, ces/ses, -er/-é)
- Punctuation & typography - FR: espaces insécables avant
: ; ! ?, guillemets « », capitales accentuées; EN: serial commas consistent - Clarity - ambiguous pronouns, double negatives, 40+ word sentences split
- Consistency - tense, register (tu/vous), terminology, formatting of numbers/dates
Severity levels
| Level | Action |
|---|---|
| Error (grammar, typo, wrong fact) | fix silently |
| Clarity issue | fix + note if meaning could shift |
| Style preference | suggest, don't impose |
Workflow
- Ask the target language/variant if ambiguous (FR-FR vs FR-DZ register, EN-US vs EN-GB).
- Correct the text; keep author idioms and rhythm.
- Return the corrected version + a short list of notable fixes (so the author learns the pattern).
- For documents, apply corrections in-place via
edit_file/docx-generatorround-trip.
Rules
- Never alter quotes - flag errors inside quotes with [sic] or a note.
- If a sentence is correct but you'd write it differently: leave it.
- Legal/contractual text: flag issues, don't silently rewrite (
contract-reviewer).
