Edit for clarity

Read the whole passage before editing. Establish its audience and the claims, qualifications, and instructions that must survive.

• Replace vague praise with a concrete fact when supported; otherwise remove it.
• Cut introductions that delay the point, repeated conclusions, and sentences that add no information.
• Prefer natural sentences and useful paragraph structure. Use lists for parallel items or steps; avoid turning every sentence into a heading or bullet.
• Remove rhetorical question-and-answer patterns, strained contrasts, and decorative jargon when they obscure the point.
• Keep useful explanations and examples. Shorter is not automatically clearer; do not pad or compress to a word-count target.
• For comments, explain intent, constraints, or a non-obvious decision rather than narrating syntax.

Preserve code, commands, identifiers, technical terms, quoted text, numbers, units, links, uncertainty, and requirement words unless the assignment includes a verified correction. Do not run global banned-word replacements or weaken test assertions as a prose cleanup.

Compare the edited passage with the original: does it still promise the same behavior under the same conditions? If a claim appears unsupported, verify it from source or flag it; do not silently make it sound certain. Report substantive changes or unresolved claims when useful, without a ritual account of every stylistic edit.
