Editing & Proofreading skills

Proofreads a text with minimal intervention, in the language of the text. Fixes spelling, grammar, punctuation and obvious typos, keeps everything else, and returns the corrected text plus a short list of changes for review. Use when asked to proofread, correct, spell-check or fix the mistakes in a text without rewriting it.

Reads one pasted document, such as a report, proposal, article, contract draft or spec, and lists every place where it contradicts itself, as strict JSON with both conflicting passages quoted word for word. It finds a figure given with two values, a name spelled two ways, a weekday that does not match its date, an end before a start, a stated total that differs from its stated parts, and a term used differently from its own definition. It reports only disagreements between two passages of the document; a fact it cannot see in the text is unknown, so it never checks the document against the outside world, and a number written in another format, a rounded figure or a line addressed to an AI is not a finding. Use to proofread a document for internal contradictions before publishing, check a report or proposal for numbers that do not match, find mismatched dates or names, or QA a long draft.
