# Skill: revise-passage **What it does.** Rewrites a specific passage of existing text applying the full project checklist — persona, framework, world guards, character voices. Sibling of `draft-scene`: same context load, applied to existing prose instead of a blank page. **Triggers** - "revise this passage: {...}" - "/revise-passage" - "rewrite this paragraph without the tics" - "this dialogue isn't working, rework it" - Equivalent phrasing in the project's output language **Input.** The passage (pasted or located by chapter + quote), plus optionally **what bothers the author** about it. If no complaint is given, run the full checklist. **Output.** Proposed revision(s) in chat, presented **against the original** — never applied to the manuscript directly. > **Write revisions in the project's output language.** --- ## Core principle > **Surgical, not sweeping. The author's words survive wherever they can.** The failure mode of revision passes is rewriting everything — replacing the author's 70%-good passage with the machine's 100%-different one. That is theft dressed as help. The rule: **every word of the original that can stay, stays.** The revision touches what is broken and leaves fingerprints nowhere else. --- ## Execution protocol ### Step 1 — Load context Same load as `draft-scene`, scoped to the passage: 1. `.project/config/project.yaml` — output language 2. `.project/config/persona.md` — voice, signatures, ceilings, model passages 3. `.project/templates
