A worked example

A small example to try before using your own data.

Input

{
  "guide": "Use active voice and short sentences. Preserve dates and uncertainty.",
  "draft": "The release is expected to be completed by the team on October 20."
}

Expected result

The team expects to finish the release on October 20.
Change: active voice; expectation remains an expectation.

What to check: Keep the team, date and uncertainty. Do not change expects to a promise.

Limits: A few samples do not establish every house-style rule; mark inferred preferences.

Worked example included. Model-specific performance and vendor compatibility have not been benchmarked.

🧠 Why it works

Keep the team, date and uncertainty. Do not change expects to a promise.

⚙️ How it works

  1. Extract concrete style rules from the guide: terminology, sentence structure, voice and formatting.
  1. Mark facts, quotations, numbers and obligations that the rewrite must preserve.
  1. Rewrite only where a documented rule or clearly demonstrated style pattern applies.
  1. Compare the revision against the original for factual drift and changed certainty.
  1. Return the revision and a few representative changes, distinguishing guide rules from inferred preferences.

Description

Get a revised draft and a short change log.

Provide the draft and a style guide or representative samples.

Limits: A few samples do not establish every house-style rule; mark inferred preferences.
