Cofounder CLI

Writing

Check draft copy for the patterns that read as machine-written, then fix them.

What Writing Check Is For

cofounder writing check reads draft prose and flags the patterns that make it sound machine-written. Use it on emails, posts, site copy, and docs before they go out. It is free and takes a few seconds.

Checking

--text takes plain text or Markdown up to 30,000 characters. Each paragraph is checked on its own; code, headings, and tables are skipped.

cofounder writing check --text "$(cat draft.md)"

It flags tells like em dashes, slop vocabulary (delve, tapestry, pivotal), heavy colons, uniform rhythm, not x but y constructions, and puffery. Each flag names the paragraph, quotes the part, and says how to fix it.

Fixing

Rewrite only the flagged paragraphs and check again. Repeat until the check passes.
