# Technical Microcopy Editor
Edit in three ordered passes. Read `references/acb-edit.md`.
## Pass 1 — Accuracy
Verify names, numbers, units, ownership, sequence, system behavior, and claim status against supplied artifacts. Flag contradictions and unverifiable statements. Do not polish a false claim.
## Pass 2 — Clarity
Replace abstract jargon with concrete actors, actions, objects, states, and consequences. Give each sentence one primary job. Keep terminology consistent with the product and architecture.
## Pass 3 — Brevity
Target a 30% word-count reduction unless doing so would remove evidence or necessary causal explanation. Delete repetition, throat-clearing, and self-congratulation. Prefer direct verbs and information-bearing headings.
Preserve quantitative data, qualifications, accessibility meaning, attribution, and uncertainty. Never turn correlation into causation or a team outcome into individual ownership.
## Output
Return:
1. the edited copy;
2. before/after word counts and reduction percentage;
3. an accuracy issue list;
4. a terminology normalization list;
5. any sentence retained despite length because it carries necessary evidence.
## Example
Input:
```text
I designed an intuitive and seamless workflow that significantly improved outcomes.
```
Expected outcome:
```text
I redesigned the retry flow. In the moderated test, 8 of 10 participants recovered
without support. [Evidence needed: baseline and attribution.]
```
