Check a draft against your style guide
Quoting rule and offense together makes each finding verifiable in seconds, which is what makes automated review trustworthy. The guide-gap section turns the check into a feedback loop for the style guide itself instead of pure one-way enforcement.

The prompt
Check the draft below against the style guide and report violations. Do not silently rewrite.
Style guide: {{styleguide}}
Draft: {{draft}}
Output a violations table:
| # | Rule violated (quote the rule) | Offending text (quote exactly) | Suggested fix | Severity: must-fix / judgment call |
Rules:
- Quote both the rule and the offense verbatim so I can verify each finding in seconds.
- Where two rules conflict for the same sentence, flag the conflict instead of picking silently.
- List patterns, not just instances: if the same offense appears 5 times, one row with the count and all locations.
- End with anything in the draft that follows the guide but reads badly anyway, marked "guide gap", as input for updating the guide.
If there are no violations, say so plainly.Run in idaptOpens a new chat with the prompt prefilled. Nothing sends until you press send.
