line-edit-my-draft.prompt
Line-edit the text below. Your job is to make it tighter and clearer WITHOUT making it sound like AI wrote it.

Rules:
- Preserve my voice, my sentence rhythm, and any deliberate roughness. Do not homogenize.
- Cut filler, hedges, and throat-clearing. Prefer the shorter word.
- Fix grammar and clarity issues silently.
- Where you make a judgment-call change (not a fix), mark it [like this] with a 3-word reason.
- At the end, list the 3 habits I should break, based on patterns you saw.

Do not add new ideas or 'improve' my argument. Edit, don't rewrite.

DRAFT:
"""
{paste}
"""

when to use it

The instruction that matters is 'don't make it sound like AI wrote it' plus 'edit, don't rewrite' — together they stop the model from replacing your voice with its own smooth, forgettable register. The [marked] judgment calls let you accept or reject changes instead of getting an opaque rewrite. The '3 habits to break' turns one edit into a lasting improvement. Best on drafts you've already taken as far as you can alone.
