Chain a draft through structural and line edits
Separate the structural pass from the sentence pass so both are done properly.
What this prompt helps you do
The structural edit with its reasoning, then the line edit on the approved structure.
When to use it
Editing is being done in one pass and sentences are being polished in sections that will be cut.
What to prepare
The goal, relevant source material, constraints, examples, and the decision or action this should support.
How to get a strong result
Never line-edit before the structure is settled; it wastes effort and creates attachment to cut material.
How to use this prompt
Replace each placeholder with accurate context. Paste the complete prompt into Claude, review the response critically, resolve important questions, and use it as a considered input to the next decision—not as an unchecked final answer.
