SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Persuasive copy often fails because it is dense, unclear, or lacks momentum, causing readers to stop before reaching the call to action. This Skill applies the Halbert Copywriting Method to systematically edit sales copy so readers move smoothly from headline to action. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four-Stage Editing Pipeline: Formatting and eye relief, clarity editing, momentum and cliffhangers, and punch-up techniques like power words and qualifier removal. - Triage Modes: Run a full edit across all stages or jump to a targeted fix when the user specifies a problem like readability, clarity, flow, or punch. - 21-Step Checklist: A defined order of operations covering pronoun hunts, "that" removal, subhead insertion, objection pre-emption, and rhythm checks. - Use Case: Paste a draft landing page and receive a fully revised version plus an edit summary explaining the most impactful changes and which stage produced them. ## Quick Start Paste your sales email or landing page draft and ask the agent to edit it using the Halbert Copy Editor skill.

When should I not use this editing method?▼

Do not apply it while drafting; the method explicitly requires writing freely first and editing afterward in complete passes. It is designed for persuasive sales and marketing copy, not technical documentation or neutral informational content.
