Overview

Copy Editing is a growth/marketing skill from Corey Haines’ Marketing Skills collection (github.com/coreyhaines31/marketingskills). Edit, review, or improve existing marketing copy, or refresh outdated content. The skill is structured around practical workflows—covering Core Philosophy, The Seven Sweeps Framework, Expert Panel Scoring, Quick-Pass Editing Checks, Copy Editing Checklist, Common Copy Problems & Fixes—so Claude can move from context gathering to concrete artifacts (briefs, copy, checklists, or audit reports) instead of generic advice. Pair it with related skills in the same collection: `copywriting`, `content-strategy`.

How to use it

1. **Trigger it with copy editing language** — mention the job by name or ask for the deliverable this skill owns. 2. **Share product context up front** — ICP, offer, URL, constraints, and any metrics. If `.agents/product-marketing.md` (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`) exists, the skill will read it first. 3. **Let it run the assessment** — answer clarifying questions before asking for final copy/strategy. 4. **Request a concrete artifact** — brief, audit, page outline, sequence, scorecard, or launch checklist. 5. **Close the loop** — feed performance data back so the next iteration compounds.

**Typical sections it covers:** Core Philosophy, The Seven Sweeps Framework, Expert Panel Scoring, Quick-Pass Editing Checks, Copy Editing Checklist, Common Copy Problems & Fixes, Working with Copy Sweeps, References.

If Claude does not auto-select it, say: “Use the Copy Editing skill (`copy-editing`)…”.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code, Claude.ai Skills, or another Agent Skills–compatible host
  • Product/brand context (ICP, offer, URLs, constraints) for grounded outputs
  • Optional: `.agents/product-marketing.md` or `.claude/product-marketing.md` in the repo
  • Permission to install third-party skills — audit SKILL.md first
  • Optional: analytics or ad-platform access when the task needs real performance data
08

Tips

  • Keep triggers specific so Copy Editing fires only when that job is requested (avoids context tax).
  • Load product-marketing context (ICP, voice, offer) before asking for final copy or strategy.
  • Prefer one sharp deliverable per turn—brief, audit, or draft—then iterate with data.
  • Audit `SKILL.md` and any scripts before production use; treat community skills as code.
  • Pair with `copywriting` and `content-strategy` when the workflow spans channels.
