Edit prose so it reads once. Report what changed and why. The full ruleset is in `references/rules.md`. Read it before editing. Part 1 covers writing. Part 2 covers working behaviour and applies only when the text you are reviewing is an agent's own report of work it did. ## Two modes **Edit** is the default. Rewrite the text to follow the rules, then say what you changed. **Check** runs when the user asks whether something breaks the rules, or says check, audit, score, or "is this slop". Report violations. Do not rewrite. ## Workflow 1. Score the text first, so you have a number rather than an impression: ```bash python3 scripts/score.py --text draft.md ``` It reports word count, average sentence length, the share of sentences over 20 words, a Flesch score, and every violation with its line number. 2. Read `references/rules.md`. 3. In check mode, report the violations and stop. 4. In edit mode, fix them in this order, because the early ones remove the most text: - Cut preamble. The first sentence must answer the question. - Cut the closing pleasantry and any unrequested offer to help further. - Cut sentences that only signal effort or state something nobody would disagree with. - Replace banned words with the plain word that was meant. Keep the word when it is the precise technical term. - Split every sentence over 20 words. One instruction per sentence. - Remove decorative em dashes. Use a comma, a period, or parenth
