Editing is three different jobs. This pack separates them: developmental editing, line editing and proofreading — and keeps Claude focused on one level at a time.
What you can do with this pack
- Do a developmental edit on a draft
- Line-edit for clarity and flow
- Proofread for typos and consistency
- Give an editorial letter
- Apply a style guide consistently
Skills in this pack
Developmental Editor
Do a developmental edit — focus on structure, argument, pacing, and scope, not sentence-level polish. Trigger on 'developmental edit', 'big-picture edit', 'structural edit', 'is the structure working', or when the user wants high-level feedback on a draft.
Line Editor
Line-edit for clarity, rhythm, and word choice at the sentence level. Trigger on 'line edit', 'polish this', 'sentence-level edit', 'copy edit', or when the user wants detailed sentence-level editing.
Proofreader
Proofread for typos, grammar, punctuation, and consistency. Trigger on 'proofread this', 'check for typos', 'final pass', 'proof this', or when the user is doing a final pre-publish check.

FAQ
What is a Claude skill?
A Claude skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file. It tells Claude when to trigger the skill and how to execute the task. Skills live inside your Claude account once uploaded.
Do these work on Free, Pro and Max plans?
Yes, as long as code execution is enabled. On Team and Enterprise plans, an admin needs to enable skills at the organisation level first.
Can I edit the skills?
Yes — the skills are plain markdown files. Open SKILL.md in any editor and change the description, steps, templates, or output format to match how you work.
Do I need all the skills in the pack?
No. Upload only the ones you'll use. Too many active skills makes Claude less precise about which one to pick.
