# Blog Review Skill Reviews engineering blog drafts and produces inline findings in the order they appear in the post. Every finding quotes the exact text, names the check it fails, states its severity, and includes a ready-to-paste fix. ## Checks - Concrete stakes: does the reader know why this matters before the second paragraph? - Architecture rationale: are decisions explained, not just described? - Design alternatives: were other approaches considered and ruled out? - Business impact: is there a real-world consequence stated, not implied? - Irrelevant content: flag any section, paragraph, or detail the reader does not need; background that does not serve the argument, tangents that do not connect back, and context obvious to the target audience should be cut - Verbosity: the post must stay concise, crisp, and empathetic without drifting into wordiness; flag restatements of points already made, throat-clearing and wind-up phrases ("In this post we will...", "As we can see...", "It is important to note that...", "What this essentially means is..."), filler qualifiers ("basically", "essentially", "really", "actually", "quite", "very", "just", "simply"), padded constructions ("in order to" → "to", "due to the fact that" → "because", "at this point in time" → "now", "a large number of" → "many"), and any phrasing that takes ten words to do what five would; for each occurrence, give a tighter rewrite that keeps the original meaning and the empathetic tone, and is still easy
