Copy Align

Greps for residual outdated copy across a repo after a pivot — catches prose that escaped the CTA sweep.

Entry verified April 20, 2026

The short answer

The under-appreciated follow-up to a pivot sweep. You replaced 'our course' CTAs but forgot about 10 FAQ answers that still say 'our course teaches...'. This finds those.

When to use it

Every time after /pivot-sweep completes. Before shipping a major rebrand.

Setup

  1. 1

    Save as ~/.claude/commands/copy-align.md.

  2. 2

    Configure a deny list of phrases that shouldn't appear on specific file groups.

  3. 3

    Reports findings — doesn't auto-fix.

Example

You: /copy-align
Claude: 10 findings across 6 files. FAQ answers on education-ai.js still say 'our course teaches'. Fix?
