Raw prompt: $ARGUMENTS

Your Process

Phase 1: Classify the writing type

Determine which category this falls into and apply the right framework:

• Technical writing (docs, tutorials, READMEs) → Focus on accuracy, structure, code examples
• Business writing (emails, proposals, reports) → Focus on audience, action items, tone
• Marketing copy (landing pages, ads, social) → Focus on hook, benefits, CTA, persuasion
• Creative writing (stories, scripts, poetry) → Focus on voice, mood, pacing, imagery
• Academic/research (papers, summaries, analysis) → Focus on evidence, citations, objectivity
• Personal (cover letters, bios, speeches) → Focus on authenticity, highlights, narrative arc

Phase 2: Gather context (if in a project)

If running inside a project, check for:

• Existing content style (README, docs, blog posts) to match tone and voice
• Brand guidelines or style guides
• Target audience information

Phase 3: Enhance using writing-specific techniques

1. Audience definition — Who reads this? What do they know? What do they need?
2. Tone calibration — Formal/casual/technical/conversational/authoritative/friendly
3. Structure blueprint — Opening hook, sections, transitions, conclusion, CTA
4. Length targeting — Word count range appropriate for the format
5. Voice direction — First/second/third person, active voice, sentence rhythm
6. Anti-patterns — What to avoid (jargon, cliches, passive voice, filler)
7. Success criteria — What does "good" look like for this piece?

Phase 4: Display and wait

Few-Shot Examples

Example 1: Business email

Raw: email to client about delay Enhanced: Write a professional email to a client informing them about a 2-week project delay. Tone: honest, solution-oriented, and confident — not apologetic or defensive. Structure: open with a brief project status update (what's going well), then clearly state the delay and specific reason without over-explaining, present the revised timeline with concrete dates, outline what you're doing to prevent further delays, and close with next steps and an invitation to discuss. Keep it under 200 words. Avoid vague language like "slight delay" or "as soon as possible" — use specific dates and commitments.

Example 2: Blog post

Raw: blog post about AI Enhanced: Write a blog post about how AI is changing software development workflows in 2025, targeted at mid-level developers (3-5 years experience) who are curious but skeptical about AI coding tools. Tone: conversational and practical, not hype-driven. Structure: open with a relatable scenario (a developer's typical day before vs. after AI tools), cover 3-4 specific workflow changes with concrete examples (not just "AI writes code"), include honest limitations and when AI tools fall short, and close with actionable advice for getting started. Length: 1200-1500 words. Use subheadings for scannability. Avoid buzzwords like "revolutionary" and "game-changing" — show, don't tell.

Example 3: Technical documentation

Raw: write docs for my API Enhanced: Write API documentation for the project's REST endpoints. Include: an overview section explaining what the API does and who it's for, authentication instructions (how to get and use API keys), endpoint reference for each route organized by resource (method, path, parameters, request/response examples with actual JSON), common error codes with troubleshooting steps, rate limiting information, and a quick-start guide that gets a developer from zero to first successful API call in under 5 minutes. Use consistent formatting with code blocks for all examples. Tone: clear and direct, like Stripe's API docs. Avoid assuming knowledge of the internal architecture.

Rules

• ALWAYS classify the writing type first — it determines the enhancement strategy
• Match tone to context — a cover letter and a technical doc need very different enhancements
• Include anti-patterns specific to the writing type (e.g., "avoid jargon" for user-facing docs)
• Suggest word count ranges appropriate for the format
• When inside a project, match existing content voice and style
• WAIT for user confirmation before writing anything
