# Edit an Article

Review, rewrite, or draft text matching Johann's personal voice – **personal, reflective, slightly poetic, and wryly humorous**. Intimate, unhurried, honest about imperfections. Apply to both German and English content; the voice is the same across languages. For the full pattern catalog with examples, see [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md).

## Process

1. **Read** the input fully – whether it's an existing draft, an article, or a rough idea.
2. **If drafting from scratch:** ask about scope, key anecdotes, and intended takeaway before drafting.
3. **Edit or draft** following the voice patterns in [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md). When proofreading, fix grammar and spelling without restyling the voice. Mark flow and logic issues with `[FLOW]` comments; rewrite sections that don't match Johann's voice.
4. **Present** the result with a one-line change summary.

## Review Checklist

After editing or drafting, verify:

- [ ] Verify it opens with a hook (question, teaser, or scene) – not a preamble
- [ ] Confirm personal anecdotes bridge to broader themes
- [ ] Check headers are conversational or evocative, never generic labels
- [ ] Verify sentence rhythm varies and at least one moment of humor lands
- [ ] Confirm ending is open-ended or forward-looking – no neat bows
