bmad-editorial-review-prose

Provide the text as the content input and request a prose review. The Skill analyzes style and tone, identifies communication issues that impede comprehension, and returns a three-column table of original text, revised text, and explanations.

Pass your project style guide as the style_guide input alongside the content. It overrides the default Microsoft Writing Style Guide baseline and reader-type priorities, except the rule that content ideas are never changed.

No, the review detects and skips code blocks, frontmatter, and structural markup automatically. Only prose sections are analyzed, and the existing document structure is always preserved.

The reader_type input calibrates review priorities. The humans setting emphasizes clarity, flow, and readability, while the llm setting prioritizes unambiguous references, consistent terminology, explicit structure, and no hedging.

The Skill halts with an error when the content is empty or contains fewer than three words, since meaningful editorial review requires a minimum amount of text. Provide at least three words of prose to proceed.

No, the review applies minimal intervention and respects author voice. Intentional stylistic choices are preserved, uncertain fixes are phrased as queries, and ideas are never challenged, only clarified.
