Overview

Fix errors, tighten sentences, preserve the voice. Correction is not rewriting.

Pass order

Accuracy - names, numbers, dates, titles (a wrong name is the worst error)
Grammar & spelling - agreements, conjugation, homophones (FR: a/à, ces/ses, -er/-é)
Punctuation & typography - FR: espaces insécables avant : ; ! ?, guillemets « », capitales accentuées; EN: serial commas consistent
Clarity - ambiguous pronouns, double negatives, 40+ word sentences split
Consistency - tense, register (tu/vous), terminology, formatting of numbers/dates

Severity levels

Level	Action
Error (grammar, typo, wrong fact)	fix silently
Clarity issue	fix + note if meaning could shift
Style preference	suggest, don't impose

Workflow

Ask the target language/variant if ambiguous (FR-FR vs FR-DZ register, EN-US vs EN-GB).
Correct the text; keep author idioms and rhythm.
Return the corrected version + a short list of notable fixes (so the author learns the pattern).
For documents, apply corrections in-place via edit_file / docx-generator round-trip.

Rules

Never alter quotes - flag errors inside quotes with [sic] or a note.
If a sentence is correct but you'd write it differently: leave it.
Legal/contractual text: flag issues, don't silently rewrite (contract-reviewer).

4. **Clarity** - ambiguous pronouns, double negatives, 40+ word sentences split
