Edit, don't restart

Do this

Stay in the chat. Point at what's off. Name the fix.

Copy these edits

• "Cut paragraph 3. It's filler."
• "Rewrite the opening — too formal. Sound like a friend texting."
• "Too long. Give me the 40% version."
• "I like point 2. Expand it. Kill the rest."
• "Change every 'leverage' or 'utilize' to plain language."

The quote-and-fix trick

This line doesn't work:

> "We're thrilled to announce our commitment to innovation."

Rewrite in one sentence, plain language, no buzzwords.
Should sound like something a human says out loud.

Restart only when

• Topic changes completely.
• Original context was wrong and Claude anchored on it.
• Chat is hundreds of messages long and Claude's lost the thread.

Default behavior

Stay. Your context is an asset. Don't throw it away because draft 3 wasn't perfect.
