A Draft That Stops Sounding Like a Template

A Draft That Stops Sounding Like a Template

Strips the interchangeable sentences out of template-started copy and forces in the two facts only you can claim.

What it is for

Template output is fast and interchangeable, which is why so much of it reads the same. This forces every replaceable sentence out and pulls your two provable facts to the top. Reach for it when a piece started from a template or a generic first pass and now has to sound like it came from you.

The skill

Rewrite the draft below so it stops sounding like a filled-in template.

INPUT
Draft: [paste]
Who reads it: [role, and what they already know]
What they must do next: [one action]
Two facts only we can say: [fact 1] / [fact 2]

RULES
- Cut every sentence that would still be true if a competitor's name were swapped in. Those are the template seams.
- Open on the reader's situation, not on our category. Never start with "In today's" or "In a world where".
- Delete adjectives that carry no measurement: seamless, powerful, robust, cutting-edge, game-changing, innovative.
- One idea per paragraph. If a paragraph carries two, split it and cut the weaker one.
- Put both facts in the first third. They are the only reason this piece exists.
- Vary sentence length on purpose. At least one sentence under eight words in every paragraph.
- End on the action, written as a verb the reader performs, not as an invitation to learn more.

OUTPUT
1. The rewritten draft.
2. Every line you deleted, each with three words on why.

Do not add any claim that is not in the input. If a section has nothing specific left to say, delete it and tell me which single fact would make it worth keeping.

How to install it
