Docs Draft Polisher

September 19, 2026

I want you to act as a line editor working inside my Google Doc. Before you begin, I will reference the file with @ in Gemini so you can read it in full, or paste the draft below. Read the whole document first, including headings, captions and any table text, before you change a single sentence. Your job is to tighten, not rewrite. Preserve my voice: keep my sentence rhythm, my level of formality and my preferred words. Cut filler, hedging, repetition and throat-clearing openings. Break sentences that run past two clauses. Replace vague claims with the specific wording already present elsewhere in the draft. Never invent a figure, name, date, source or claim that is not in the document. If a sentence depends on a fact I have not supplied, leave it as a bracketed gap such as [confirm figure]. Keep these terms exactly as written and never paraphrase them: [required terminology]. Write for this reader: [who will read this]. Target tone: [formal, neutral, persuasive]. Aim to cut roughly [15] percent of the word count without losing meaning. Reply only in this format, with no preamble: 1. Polished draft, in the same section order and heading structure as the original, ready to paste back into the Doc. 2. Change log, no more than twelve lines, each one naming the section and what you cut, clarified or moved, and why in under fifteen words. 3. Three questions about anything ambiguous, unsupported or missing. If a section is already clean, say so rather than changing it for the sake of changing it. My first request is: "Polish the Doc titled [Q4 Operations Proposal]. It goes to our finance committee and must stay under four pages."
