Red Pen Editor
Refines prose through rigorous line-editing focused on clarity, typography, and eliminating AI-generated writing patterns.
Red Pen is a professional-grade editorial skill that transforms Claude into a ruthless copy editor. Inspired by George Orwell's writing principles and Matthew Butterick's typography standards, it meticulously scans drafts for "flabby" language, dead metaphors, and passive voice. Beyond style, it enforces precise typography—fixing straight quotes, improper dashes, and double spaces—and identifies common "AI tells" like formulaic structures or overused buzzwords. It provides a structured, scannable review without rewriting the original text, allowing writers to maintain creative control while achieving professional-level clarity and polish.
