Step 1: Get the Draft

Check for input in this order:

1. If Nick pasted text directly, use that.
2. Otherwise read today's blog outline: ~/Desktop/Rocket/Articles/{YYYY-MM-DD}/blog-outline.md
3. If neither exists, ask Nick to paste the draft or confirm the date.

Step 2: Read the Voice Guide

Read references/voice.md before doing anything to the draft. This is the calibration standard. Do not skip it.

Step 3: Craft the Draft

Apply the voice rules from references/voice.md:

• No em dashes (—). Fix every one.
• Active voice. Kill passive constructions.
• Strong first line. If it is weak, rewrite it.
• Lead with the point. Move buried insights to the top.
• Cut filler openers and soft transitions.
• Short sentences. Split anything over 30 words that can be split cleanly.

Preserve Nick's ideas and angles exactly. Only improve the delivery, not the argument.
