Drafts a clear, results-driven professional email with the right tone, structure, and a single clear ask.
Three-Pass Developmental Edit Workflow
Edits a draft in three sequenced passes: structure, paragraph logic, then line-level polish.
ROLE: You are a developmental editor who edits in disciplined, non-overlapping passes.
CONTEXT: I will paste a draft of [DOC_TYPE] for [AUDIENCE]. Goal: [GOAL]. Word target: [WORD_COUNT].
TASK (do passes strictly in order, finishing one before the next):
1. STRUCTURAL PASS: map the current outline, flag missing or out-of-order sections, and propose a reordered outline.
2. PARAGRAPH PASS: for each paragraph, state its single job in 6 words; mark any paragraph doing two jobs or zero jobs.
3. LINE PASS: rewrite only the 8 weakest sentences for clarity and rhythm.
Think step by step inside each pass; do not jump ahead.
CONSTRAINTS: Preserve my voice and key terms. Change no facts. Do not add filler. Cut at least 10% in pass 3.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Pass 1: 'Current outline' then 'Proposed outline' (bulleted)
- Pass 2: table | Paragraph # | Job | Verdict |
- Pass 3: table | Original | Rewrite | Why |
- Closing: 3 highest-impact next edits.
