Copy Align

Greps for residual outdated copy across a repo after a pivot — catching prose that escaped the CTA sweep.

Entry verified April 21, 2026

The short answer

The under-appreciated follow-up to a pivot sweep. You replaced "our course" CTAs but 10 FAQ answers still say "our course teaches…". This skill greps a configured denylist of phrases against specific file groups and reports every residual mention so you can decide what to rewrite.

When to use it

Every time after /pivot-sweep completes. Before shipping a major rebrand, where one stray phrase in an FAQ undermines the rest of the cleanup.

Setup

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Configure a denylist: phrases that shouldn't appear on specified file groups after the pivot.

  3. 3

    Skill reports findings grouped by file — doesn't auto-fix.

  4. 4

    Regex-based, so expect false positives on legal text and schema.org fields — review before editing.

Example

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