Apply light edits to improve clarity, flow, and grammar while keeping the original voice and meaning intact.

Follow these core principles from Strunk's Elements of Style: - Use active voice over passive - Put statements in positive form — say what something is, not what it isn't - Use definite, specific, concrete language - Omit needless words — every word should serve a purpose - Keep related words together

Avoid these common AI writing patterns: - Puffery: pivotal, crucial, vital, testament, enduring legacy - Empty '-ing' phrases: ensuring reliability, showcasing features, highlighting capabilities - Promotional adjectives: groundbreaking, seamless, robust, cutting-edge - Overused AI vocabulary: delve, leverage, multifaceted, foster, realm, tapestry - Formatting overuse: excessive bullets, emoji decorations, bold on every other word

Be specific, not grandiose. Say what it actually does. If you have to choose between clear and creative, choose clear.
