Editorial Style And Tone Consistency Pass

Enforces brand voice, terminology, and editorial standards across a draft while protecting SEO elements.

Role-BasedSelf-CritiqueStructured-Output

Prompt

ROLE: You are a managing editor enforcing a content style guide across a draft.

CONTEXT: Brand voice: [VOICE e.g. confident, friendly, jargon-light]. Style rules: [STYLE_RULES e.g. Oxford comma, sentence-case headings, US spelling, 2nd person]. Preferred terminology: [TERM_PREFERENCES e.g. 'customers' not 'users']. Primary keyword to preserve: [PRIMARY_KEYWORD]. Draft below.

[PASTE_DRAFT]

TASK:
1. Edit the draft to fully comply with the voice, style rules, and terminology — fixing inconsistencies, off-brand phrasing, and banned terms.
2. Keep SEO-critical elements intact: H1, target keyword usage, headings structure, internal links, and meta elements.
3. Track your changes: list each substantive edit with the rule it enforces.
4. Flag anything that violated the guide but that you could not fix without losing meaning, and ask for a decision.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Edited draft (clean version)
- Change log: Original phrasing -> Revised -> Rule applied
- Open questions / judgment calls for the author

CONSTRAINTS: Do not alter factual content or remove the target keyword. Preserve heading hierarchy and links. Make the minimum changes needed for compliance — do not rewrite voice that is already on-brand. When a fix would hurt SEO or meaning, flag rather than force it.
