Edited paragraph
Finance teams spend hours every close fixing duplicate rows, inconsistent date formats, and broken formulas. [Product name] cleans those errors automatically, so your team can start analysis with data it can trust. [NEED: one proof point, e.g. "Teams cut cleanup time from X hours to Y"]
Upload a spreadsheet and see it cleaned in [NEED: time]. [NEED: trial or offer, e.g. "Free for 14 days, no card required"]
Main changes
-
Opened with the reader's problem. The original opened with "innovative, cutting-edge platform." The edit opens with what finance teams deal with at close. This follows the "lead with the reader's problem" fix for weak openings.
-
Replaced vague words with the facts they stood for. "Innovative," "cutting-edge," "best-in-class AI," "seamlessly streamline," and "unlock the power of your data" don't say what the product does. The edit says it cleans spreadsheets and names the errors it fixes. The skill treats "streamline" and "seamless" as placeholders, and the original had both in one sentence.
-
Removed the contrast reveal. "It is not just a tool, it is a game-changer" is a stock "not X, it's Y" pattern. The edit states the benefit directly: your team starts analysis with data it can trust.
-
Cut stock phrases. "Whether you are a startup or an enterprise, we have got you covered" is filler, and it also contradicts the finance-team focus. The edit speaks to one audience.
-
Made the CTA concrete. "Get started today!" became a specific first step ("Upload a spreadsheet") with a place for a time-to-result and a risk reducer such as a trial or no-card line.
-
Added proof slots instead of inventing numbers. The original made big claims with no evidence. I marked
[NEED: ...]where a stat, customer result, or offer belongs, since I don't have those facts.
Please check
- The error examples (duplicates, date formats, broken formulas) are my assumptions about what a finance spreadsheet cleaner fixes. Swap in what your tool actually handles.
- Send me the product name, a real result, and the trial terms, and I'll finalize the copy.
Real run in an isolated folder with only this skill installed. Only the Skill and Read tools were enabled, so nothing was fetched from the web and no file was written. The example is fictional. The paragraph to edit is invented.
What it does
Reviews copy you already have instead of writing from scratch. It works through seven sweeps in a fixed order: clarity, voice and tone, "so what" (does each claim show a benefit), "prove it" (evidence behind claims), specificity, heightened emotion and zero risk (objections and risk reversal). It adds an optional expert-panel scoring method with a rubric, quick-pass checks at word, sentence and paragraph level, an AI-tell check, a catalogue of common copy problems with fixes (wall of features, corporate speak, weak opening, buried CTA, no proof, generic claims), and a routine for refreshing outdated content. References cover plain-English alternatives, a checklist and content refresh.
How it works
- You paste the copy and say what it is for.
- The model runs the sweeps and returns an edited version with the main changes explained.
- It points out where claims need real proof.
Good for
Polishing landing pages, emails and blog posts, and giving old content a refresh.
Low risk: pure instructions with no scripts, no network access and no file writes. It edits only the text you give it. Suggested rewrites can change the meaning of claims, so check that every claim, number and guarantee in the edited copy is still true. The skill pushes for real proof rather than inventing it. Some cross-references point to sibling skills that are not part of this package. Tried once on an invented paragraph.
