# Rewrite for Accessibility

Take existing content and rewrite it to be accessible to people with
diverse cognitive abilities and literacy levels — without losing
accuracy or meaning.

## Process

### Step 1: Assess Current Readability
Using **readable-content**, evaluate:
- Current reading level
- Sentence and paragraph length
- Jargon and specialist terms
- Content structure and scannability

### Step 2: Identify the Core Message
For each section, answer: what is the one thing the reader must
understand? Write that down in one plain sentence. This becomes the
opening line of the rewritten section.

### Step 3: Rewrite
- Replace jargon with plain alternatives
- Shorten sentences to 15–20 words
- One idea per sentence, one topic per paragraph
- Front-load each paragraph with the key point
- Use active voice throughout
- Address the reader as "you"
- Add examples to clarify abstract concepts

### Step 4: Fix Links
Using **link-text-design**, rewrite any link text that doesn't make
sense on its own. Replace "click here" and "read more" with
descriptive link text.

### Step 5: Present Before and After
Show the original alongside the rewrite with annotations explaining
each change. Include the reading level of both versions.

## Rules

- Never sacrifice accuracy for simplicity — if a term is essential,
  keep it and define it
- Don't condescend — plain language is clear language, not childish
  language
- Preserve the author's intent and tone where possible
- Flag any content where simplification might change the legal or
  technical meaning — let the team decide those tradeoffs

## Output

Deliver the rewritten content with:
- Reading level of original vs. rewrite
- Change log of significant edits with rationale
- Flagged passages where meaning may have shifted
