# Get suggestions and feedback

# Get full first→final comparison for deep analysis

# Same as above, but cap each FIRST/FINAL dump to 2k chars for LLM prompting

This outputs:
suggestion blocks (supports multiple suggestion blocks per comment)Tip: add
--max-file-chars 2000to keep each FIRST/FINAL dump lightweight, or pair--diffwith--no-filesif you only need the suggestion/feedback summaries.
With the script output, perform this analysis:
Create a table of mechanical fixes:
| Pattern | Original | Fixed |
|---|---|---|
| Grammar | "Its easier" | "It's easier" |
| Filler removal | "using this way" | "this way" |
| Capitalization | "Image Generation" | "image generation" |
For each reviewer feedback comment:
Example:
Feedback: "would be nice to end more enthusiastically"
First draft: "...it's simple to add new tools to Claude and use them straight away."
Final: "...Let us know what you find and create in the comments below!"
Lesson: End blog posts with a call-to-action
Compare FIRST DRAFT to FINAL VERSION section by section:
Group findings into categories:
| Category | Patterns Found |
|---|---|
| Clarity | Passive→active, shorter sentences, remove filler |
| Precision | Vague→specific, "Create"→"Generate" |
| Tone | Added enthusiasm, call-to-action endings |
| Structure | Added transitions, better section flow |
| Grammar | its/it's, subject-verb agreement |
| Content | Added links, examples, context |

--diff | Adds FIRST/FINAL file dumps to the default output | Deep analysis of how the author responded |
--max-file-chars N | Truncates each FIRST/FINAL block to N chars (appends ...[truncated X chars]) | Keep prompts within LLM token limits |
--no-files | Suppresses FIRST/FINAL dumps even when --diff is set | When you only need explicit suggestions + reviewer feedback |

## Style Lessons from PR #123
### Mechanical Fixes
- Fix grammar: "Its" → "It's" (contraction)
- Lowercase generic terms: "Image Generation" → "image generation"
- Remove filler: "the output quality of" → "the quality of"
### Reviewer-Driven Changes
- **"end more enthusiastically"** → Added call-to-action in conclusion
- **"emphasize these are SoTA"** → Changed "latest" to "state-of-the-art"
- **"add blurb about MCP Server"** → Added explanatory paragraph
### Structural Improvements
- Added transition sentence between sections
- Simplified setup instructions (3 sentences → 1)
- Added new bullet point for model flexibility
