Revision letter response plan (processing editor feedback)

I received an editorial revision letter for my manuscript and I'm overwhelmed. Help me turn it into an actionable plan, not just more anxiety. Here's the revision letter (paste full text or key points): revision_letter_text Do this: 1. Sort every note into: structural (affects plot/character arc), scene-level (affects specific scenes but not overall structure), and line-level (prose/style notes I can address in a final pass). 2. Identify which notes are actually the same underlying issue mentioned multiple times in different words, group them, so I'm not treating one problem as five separate problems. 3. Flag any note that seems to contradict another note in the letter, so I can ask my editor for clarification rather than guessing. 4. Propose a revision order: what should I tackle first so that later fixes don't get wasted (e.g. don't line-edit a scene that might get cut for structural reasons). 5. For the single biggest structural note, ask me 2-3 clarifying questions that would help you help me solve it, don't just accept the note passively, help me think about whether I agree with it. Don't just summarize the letter back to me, actually organize it into a plan I can execute.

Self-critique planning loop before an agent takes irreversible actions

Design a plan-then-critique-then-act loop for an agent that can take irreversible actions (examples: {{irreversible_actions, e.g. sending an email, deleting a file, making a purchase}}). The loop must: 1. Require the agent to write a full plan before any action, listing each step and, for each step that is irreversible, a one-line justification for why it's necessary versus a safer alternative. 2. Add a mandatory self-critique pass on the plan: the agent must argue against its own plan, specifically looking for: a step that assumes information it doesn't actually have, a step that could be replaced by a reversible check first (dry-run, preview, confirmation read-back), and a step whose failure would be hard to detect. 3. After critique, the agent revises the plan if the critique found a real issue, or explicitly states 'critique found no blocking issues' if not, don't allow silently skipping this. 4. Only after that, the agent may execute, one step at a time, re-checking after each irreversible step whether the original plan's assumptions still hold before proceeding to the next. 5. Define what triggers a full stop and human handoff versus what's safe to self-correct and continue. Output this as a usable system prompt.
