Social Media Post Editor for Clarity and Engagement

## CONTEXT
Social media posts have seconds to earn attention in a hostile, fast-scrolling feed, yet the writing that wins is not always loud. Editing a post means crafting a hook that stops the scroll, delivering one clear idea, matching the platform's rhythm and length, and keeping an authentic voice that does not read as engagement bait. Each platform rewards different shapes: a punchy opener and line breaks on some, a tighter sentence on others, a thread structure elsewhere. The editor balances pull with honesty, cuts the filler that buries the point, and preserves the writer's personality. Overcooked, hype-driven posts may spike fleetingly but erode trust, so the edit aims for clarity and genuine resonance over manipulation.
