BBH Claude Review Bundle

Use this with the current BBH style guide.

Claude prompt

I’m building a Master Editorial Style Guide for BBH and want your help sharpening it.

Please do two things:

1) Review the current style guide
- Identify what’s strong, what’s missing, and what should be tightened.
- Flag any places where the guide is too vague, too broad, or too prescriptive.
- Call out any rules that would flatten the voice if followed too literally.

2) Produce a BBH Editorial Profile
- Summarize the BBH voice in clear, usable rules for a writing agent.
- Keep it practical, not essay-like.
- Make the output specific enough to guide drafting and editing.

Please format your response in these sections:
- What’s working
- What needs revision
- BBH voice rules
- What the writing should always do
- What the writing should never do
- Revision priorities
- Short editorial profile for a writing agent

If helpful, you can also note any recurring structural patterns, sentence-rhythm habits, or emotional tone markers that seem essential to BBH.

Part 1 — Voice and structure questionnaire

1. What are the non-negotiable voice traits of BBH?
2. What should BBH writing always do in:
   - openings
   - transitions
   - endings
3. What should BBH writing never do because it breaks the voice?
4. What level of emotional directness feels right before it becomes oversharing or performative?
5. What level of specificity about lived experience is ideal for public-facing posts?
6. What sentence rhythm, paragraph length, and structural habits fit BBH best?

Part 2 — Editing and agent guidance questionnaire

7. Which recurring phrases, moves, or structural patterns feel signature to BBH?
8. What kinds of edits improve a draft without flattening the voice?
9. What kinds of edits usually make BBH sound generic or overworked?
10. If you had to turn BBH into 5–7 editorial rules for a writing agent, what would they be?
11. What parts of the current style guide are strongest?
12. What parts need tightening, rewriting, or removal?
