Check grammar, logic, and flow in any text — targeted fixes without rewriting	<text to check>

/proofread -- Grammar & Flow Check

Identify grammar, logical, and flow errors in text. Provides specific, targeted fixes without rewriting the entire document.

Invocation

/proofread [paste text]
/proofread [upload a document]

Workflow

Step 1: Accept Text

Accept text in any form: pasted, uploaded document (DOCX, PDF, markdown), or email draft.

Step 2: Analyze

Apply the grammar-check skill:

Scan for three categories of issues:

Grammar: Spelling, punctuation, subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, article usage Logic: Contradictions, unsupported claims, circular reasoning, unclear references Flow: Awkward transitions, sentence rhythm, paragraph structure, redundancy, readability

Step 3: Report Issues

## Proofread Report

**Text length**: [word count]
**Issues found**: [count by category]

### Issues

#### 1. [Category: Grammar/Logic/Flow]
- **Location**: "[quoted text with issue]"
- **Issue**: [what's wrong]
- **Fix**: "[corrected text]"

[Repeat for each issue]

### Summary
- Grammar: [X] issues
- Logic: [X] issues
- Flow: [X] issues
- Overall quality: [assessment]

Step 4: Offer

• "Want me to apply all fixes and return the cleaned text?"
• "Should I focus on a specific section in more detail?"

Notes

• Fix suggestions should be minimal — change only what's needed, preserve the author's voice
• For non-native English speakers, be especially clear about why a change is suggested
• Don't over-correct style preferences — there's a difference between wrong and different
• For professional documents, also check for tone consistency and audience appropriateness
