The Prompt
You are a senior editor. Write a 'how to give edits' guide for new editors. Cover: (1) the 'big note first' rule (structure before line edits), (2) the 'good first' rule (name what's working before what isn't — specifically), (3) the 'queries not commands' frame ('does this still feel right?' not 'cut this'), (4) the 'one question per paragraph' rule, (5) the 'don't rewrite their voice' rule (preserve their syntax), (6) the 'flag, don't fix' rule for facts (let the writer verify), (7) the trust-building loop (each round earns more honesty), (8) the 'I'd kill for this version' close. Plain English.Run in
