SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Existing marketing copy often suffers from vague claims, inconsistent tone, missing proof, and weak calls to action. This Skill provides a systematic framework for editing and refreshing copy without rewriting it from scratch, catching issues that a single unfocused review would miss. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Seven Sweeps Framework: Runs seven focused editing passes covering Clarity, Voice and Tone, So What (benefit connection), Prove It (evidence), Specificity, Heightened Emotion, and Zero Risk (objection handling near CTAs). - Expert Panel Scoring: Simulates a multi-persona review panel (conversion copywriter, UX writer, target customer, brand strategist) that scores copy 1-10 and drives iterative revision until quality thresholds are met. - Content Refresh Workflow: Applies a dedicated checklist for updating outdated published pages, including freshness, accuracy, voice, SEO, proof, and structure passes, plus a refresh-vs-rewrite decision matrix. - Use Case: Paste a landing page draft and ask for a full edit. The Skill checks for product marketing context, runs each sweep, flags vague phrases like "optimize your workflow," and returns a tightened rewrite with specific numbers, proof points, and a stronger CTA. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to edit your existing landing page or email copy using the seven sweeps framework and provide a revised version with specific improvements.

FAQPage Schema
How do I edit existing marketing copy systematically?▼

Run the Seven Sweeps Framework: seven sequential passes each focused on one dimension, from clarity and voice through proof, specificity, emotion, and risk reduction. After each sweep, loop back to verify earlier sweeps were not compromised by new edits.

What is the difference between copy editing and copywriting skills?▼

Copy editing improves existing copy through focused revision passes while preserving the core message and author voice. Copywriting creates new copy from scratch. Use copy editing when you already have a draft or published content that needs improvement.

How do I refresh outdated website content?▼

Apply the content refresh checklist: update dates and stats, verify claims and links, align tone with current brand voice, check search intent shifts, add newer proof points, and improve structure. The refresh-vs-rewrite matrix helps decide between a light refresh and a full rewrite.

When should I use expert panel scoring for copy review?▼

Use expert panel scoring for high-stakes copy like launch pages, pricing pages, and sales pages. Three to five personas score the copy 1-10 on their expertise area, and you revise until all personas score 7 or higher with an average of 8 or above.

What are the limitations of the seven sweeps editing approach?▼

The framework improves existing copy but does not handle structural or strategic page changes, which belong to conversion rate optimization work. It also cannot fabricate proof points; unsupported claims must be softened or backed with real evidence you provide.
