+# Content Rewriting
+
+Rewrite the user's text to sound like a real person, not a real estate agent, marketer, or corporate copywriter.
+
+## Tone Target
+
+- **Warm and personal** — like someone who actually lives there / uses the thing
+- **Grounded** — plain language, no buzzwords, no "nestled" or "boasts" or "features"
+- **Not professional/agent-speak** — strip "looking for long term tenants," "showcasing," "abundant," "ample"
+- **Not silly/folksy** — no "thank god," no "honestly my favorite part," no "or whatever," no over-the-top casual
+
+## Pitfall: Overcorrecting to "Too Silly"
+
+When the user says "make it sound like a regular person" or "less professional," the natural instinct is to go very casual. **Don't.** The user rejected this: "Too silly. Make it less."
+
+The sweet spot: warm but restrained. Personal but not performatively casual. Think "neighbor telling you about the place" not "friend gushing about it."
+
+## Process
+
+1. Read the original text
+2. Identify agent-speak / marketing phrases to cut
+3. Rewrite in plain, warm language
+4. Self-check: "Is this how a real person would describe their own place?" If it sounds like someone trying to sound casual, dial it back
+5. Offer to adjust further — shorter, more detail on X, or tone shift
+
+## Reference Example
+
+See `references/rental-listing-example.md` for a worked rental listing that the user approved after multiple rounds of feedback. It demonstrates the target tone and the kinds of authentic details that work.
+
+## CRITICAL: Never Fabricate Details
+
+**Do not invent personal experiences, work situations, habits, or opinions to make copy sound more authentic.** The user explicitly corrected this: "Don't make up facts. You don't know we both worked from home. Don't lie."
+
+Authentic voice comes from how you phrase the details the user gave you — not from adding plausible-sounding personal anecdotes. If the user didn't say it, don't write it. If you're not sure, ask.
+
+Example of fabrication: adding "we both worked from home out here with no issues" when the user only said the house has fiber internet. The user never mentioned their work situation.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- "Hey!" openers
+- "honestly," "thank god," "or whatever," "the works"
+- Exclamation marks
+- Over-explaining why something is good ("great for working from home, streaming, gaming, whatever")
+- "Reach out" — use "get in touch" or just "let us know" sparingly
+- **Fabricating personal details** to sound more authentic — only use what the user provided
