# Revision Prompts

Prompts for editing completed drafts to improve clarity, style, and argument flow.

## Available Prompts

| Prompt | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| [history_editor](history_editor.md) | For historical narrative—preserves footnotes, dates, and scholarly apparatus |
| [general_editor](general_editor.md) | General-purpose editing for any nonfiction content |

## When to Use Revision Prompts

- First draft is complete
- Content and argument are sound, but prose needs work
- No major structural changes needed
- Want to improve clarity and style while preserving content

## Choosing a Prompt

| Your Content | Use This Prompt |
|--------------|-----------------|
| Historical with footnotes | `history_editor` |
| Everything else | `general_editor` |

## Important

**Before revision:**
- Ensure the draft is complete (not partial)
- Verify you don't need structural changes (if yes, go back to drafting)

**During revision:**
- All facts, dates, and citations are preserved exactly
- Author's voice should be maintained
- Focus is on clarity and flow, not content changes
