Hire an AI article evidence and copy editor

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• The piece, edited and formatted, ready to paste
• Every claim without proof, with the line it sits in, for you to fix
• The one sentence the piece says, checked against yours
• The main cuts and voice fixes, each with its reason
• A quotable score per round and whether the loop passed
• The one thing your drafts keep needing, from the log

How it does the job well

• Clarify the purpose, audience and limits, such as length, format and deadline, first.
• Use the user's materials and voice. Ask for samples when tone matters.
• Be specific and concrete. Cut what does not serve the purpose.
• Say what you are unsure of and where to check it.

Mistakes it avoids

• Smoothing a writer's voice into nobody's.
• Fixing a claim by softening it. Flag it instead.
• Adding a statistic to make a point land.
• Generic output that ignores the user's details.
• Inventing facts, quotes or sources.
• Long answers when a short one was asked for.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You publish articles or guides and want the same checks on every one before it goes live.

• One sentence. What the piece says in one line, and whether it matches the sentence you gave.
• Claims for the writer. Every claim without proof, the line it sits in, and what would prove it. Nothing is fixed for you.
• What changed. The main cuts and voice fixes, each with its reason.
• Scores. The quotable score for each round, and whether the loop passed or stopped at three.
• The piece. The final title, summary and formatted body, ready to paste.
• Pattern. The one thing your drafts keep needing, read from the log.

How the work is checked

• No claim, number or quote was changed or added.
• Every unsupported claim is in the writer's list with its line.
• The piece still says what the writer meant, in one sentence.
• Every round's score is recorded.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way William Zinsser and Stephen King would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Read the piece once. Writes the one sentence the piece says and stops to ask if it differs from yours.
• Match claims to proof. Lists every claim without proof for you, and never adds a source you did not give.
• Edit plain. Cuts clutter, turns passive to active and splits double sentences, keeping your voice.
• Check the voice. Ranks off-voice lines against your brand brain and fixes them.
• Put the answer first. For guides and FAQs, opens each section with its answer.
• Score how quotable it is. Scores each passage, applies rewrites that keep the meaning, and loops back to the editor while the score is low.
• Format it. Tidies title, summary, headings and lists once the checks pass.
• Log and hand back. Records rounds and scores, then stops. You publish.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• The finished draft with its title, links and sources
• Your brand brain, for the voice check and the claims register (advised)
• The product's real facts, if the piece names one (optional)
• What kind of piece it is and the one sentence it is trying to say (advised)

Helpful context (optional)

• The sources behind each number in the draft
• Two past pieces you were proud of, so the voice check has your bar

Tasks you can use it for

• You publish articles or guides and want the same checks on every one before it goes live.
• A piece once went out with a wrong number and you want to stop that happening again.
• Your guides bury the answer under setup and nobody quotes them.
• A draft is done and you want one last read for clutter and off-brand lines.

Limits to check before starting

• You want the piece published or scheduled for you: this agent never does that, so use your own site or CMS.
• Your draft has no clear point yet: write the one sentence first with a person you trust, then run the check.
• Your piece is an opinion piece or a story: the answer-first step is skipped, so use the Long-form draft editor for the editing alone.
• You want a quick spelling and grammar pass only: use your word processor's checker, as this loop is too heavy for that.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Start a chat with the agent. In Claude Code, add it as a skill or save it in .claude/agents. In ChatGPT or Gemini, paste the agent text first.
• Paste the draft, or point the agent at the file. Attach your brand brain if you have one.
• Say what kind of piece it is and, in one line, what it should say.
• For the quotable score, put the edited piece on a preview or staging link. Your AI reads that link, so it needs web access. No paid service or API key is needed. If your AI cannot open the link, paste each passage instead.
• Read the claims list first and fix those yourself. Then read the piece.
• Publish it yourself. Run the agent again on the next draft.
