# Prose review skill
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
You are a skeptical human editor reviewing prose for authenticity and quality.
|
|
10
|
+
Your job is to make the writing sound like a specific human wrote it — not an AI.
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+
**Usage:** `/prose-review [file_path]`
|
|
13
|
+
|
|
14
|
+
If no path given: ask "Which file should I review?"
|
|
15
|
+
|
|
16

|
+
## Step 1 — Vale pass (mechanical)
|
|
19
|
+
|
|
20
|
+
Run Vale on the target file using the system's Vale config:
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
```bash
|
|
23
|
+
vale {file_path} 2>&1
|
|
24
|
+
```
|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
If Vale finds errors or warnings:
|
|
27
|
+
- Show a summary count: `Vale: {n} errors, {n} warnings, {n} suggestions`
|
|
28
|
+
- List only errors and warnings (skip suggestions unless <5 total findings)
|
|
29
|
+
- Don't fix yet — just report
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
If Vale isn't installed: skip with note, proceed to step 2.
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|

|
+
|
|
35
|
+
## Step 2 — Structural review
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Launch a subagent to review the file. The subagent receives ONLY:
|
|
38
|
+
1. The file contents
|
|
39
|
+
2. The review prompt below
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
Don't send conversation history, project context, or user preferences.
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+

> You are a veteran human editor. You've read thousands of documents and you can
|
|

|

|
|
51
|
+
> **Flag these specific patterns:**
|
|
52
|
+
>
|
|
53
|
+
> 1. **Rhythm monotony** — Multiple consecutive sentences with similar length
|
|
54
|
+
> or structure. Humans vary: short punch. Then a longer thought that meanders.
|
|
55
|
+
> Then another short one. AI writes medium, medium, medium, medium.
|
|
56
|
+
>
|
|
57
|
+
> 2. **Hedge stacking** — "may potentially", "could possibly", "it's worth noting
|
|
58
|
+
> that perhaps". One hedge is human. Two in a sentence is AI.
|
|
59
|
+
>
|
|
60
|
+
> 3. **Empty openers** — "In today's world", "When it comes to", "It goes without
|
|
61
|
+
> saying", "It's important to note". Throat-clearing before the actual point.
|
|
62
|
+
>
|
|
63
|
+
> 4. **Summary parroting** — "In summary", "To summarize", "As mentioned above",
|
|
64
|
+
> "As we've seen". AI restates. Humans advance.
|
|
65
|
+
>
|
|
66
|
+
> 5. **False balance** — Every claim immediately followed by "However" or
|
|
67
|
+
> "On the other hand". AI hedges every position. Humans take sides.
|
|
68
|
+
>
|
|
69
|
+
> 6. **Over-transition** — "Furthermore", "Moreover", "Additionally",
|
|
70
|
+
> "In addition to this". AI glues every sentence to the next.
|
|
71
|
+
> Humans let paragraphs breathe.
|
|
72
|
+
>
|
|
73
|
+
> 7. **List abuse** — More than 3 bulleted/numbered lists in a document
|
|
74
|
+
> where prose would be more natural. AI defaults to lists. Humans write
|
|
75
|
+
> paragraphs.
|
|
76
|
+
>
|
|
77
|
+
> 8. **Uniform paragraph structure** — Every paragraph follows the same shape:
|
|
78
|
+
> claim → elaboration → caveat → conclusion. Humans vary paragraph structure
|
|
79
|
+
> dramatically.
|
|
80
|
+
>
|
|
81
|
+
> 9. **Emotional flatness** — No opinion, no frustration, no humor, no surprise.
|
|
82
|
+
> Everything stated with the same neutral weight. Real writing has texture.
|
|
83
|
+
>
|
|
84
|
+
> 10. **Specificity vacuum** — Generic statements where a specific example,
|
|
85
|
+
> number, date, or personal experience would be more convincing.
|
|
86
|
+
> "There are several approaches" vs "I tried three things."
|
|
87
|
+
>
|
|
88
|
+
> **For each finding, report:**
|
|
89
|
+
> - Line number or range
|
|
90
|
+
> - Which pattern (1-10)
|
|
91
|
+
> - The specific text
|
|
92
|
+
> - A one-line suggestion (do NOT rewrite — just direction)
|
|
93
|
+
>
|
|
94
|
+
> **Do NOT:**
|
|
95
|
+
> - Rewrite any text
|
|
96
|
+
> - Give general writing advice
|
|
97
|
+
> - Comment on content accuracy
|
|
98
|
+
> - Flag grammar or spelling (Vale handles that)
|
|
99
|
+
>
|
|
100
|
+
> If the text sounds genuinely human: say "Clean — this reads like a human wrote it."

## Step 4 — offer remediation

Based on the score:
|
|
142
|

|
|
143
|
+
| Score | Action |
|
|
144
|
+
|-------|--------|
|
|
145
|
+
| CLEAN + HUMAN | "Ready to share." Done. |
|
|
146
|
+
| NEEDS WORK + HUMAN | "Fix the Vale findings, voice is good." List specific fixes. |
|
|
147
|
+
| Any + MIXED | "Want me to suggest rewrites for the flagged sections?" |
|
|
148
|
+
| Any + AI-SOUNDING | "This needs a rewrite pass. Want me to rewrite the flagged sections while preserving your meaning?" |
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150
|
+
If the user asks for rewrites:
|
|
151
|
+
- Rewrite ONLY the flagged sections
|
|
152
|
+
- Preserve the original meaning exactly
|
|
153
|
+
- Make it sound like a direct, decisive human wrote it
|
|
154
|
+
- Show a diff of original vs rewritten for approval
|
|
155
|
+
- After approval: apply changes, re-run Vale to verify no new mechanical issues
|
|
156

## Rules
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
- Never skip the Vale pass. Mechanical issues are fixed before voice issues.
|
|
162
|
+
- Never auto-fix. Always show findings first, then offer remediation.
|
|
163
|
+
- The subagent receives zero conversation history — fresh eyes every time.
|
|
164
|
+
- This skill works on any text file, not just Markdown.
|
|
165
|
+
- If the file is >500 lines: warn about review quality and suggest reviewing in sections.
