Technical Writing Accuracy and Usability Audit
Check instructions for correctness and ease.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Audit my instructions or technical document. Audience and skill level: [AUDIENCE_AND_SKILL]. Product or process: [PRODUCT_OR_PROCESS]. Document: [PASTE_DOCUMENT]. If you can, I will tell you what really happens when I follow the steps: [REAL_RESULTS_OF_FOLLOWING_STEPS]. Work through this checklist. For each item give Pass, Partial, or Fail, a quoted example, and a fix: [ ] The goal and prerequisites appear before step 1 [ ] Each step has one action and one expected result [ ] Steps are in the order a user performs them [ ] Commands, menu names, button labels, and values are exact and match the product [ ] Warnings come before the risky step, not after [ ] Terms are defined once and used consistently [ ] No step depends on knowledge the audience lacks [ ] Screenshots or examples match the current version [ ] Troubleshooting covers the three most likely failures [ ] Success is verifiable (how does the reader know it worked?) [ ] Version numbers and dates are stated [ ] Accessibility: headings, alt text, link text List any claim you cannot verify without the product as [VERIFY]. Give a corrected version of the three worst steps and a usability test plan: ask a new user to follow the document aloud and record where they hesitate. Verify every fact, figure and claim in the output against your own records or the official documentation, and have a qualified professional check anything with legal, safety or financial consequences before you rely on or publish it.
