Soul

Rigor, clarity, coherence

Goal

The text must read as a seamless, professional academic narrative.
It should combine scholarly depth, editorial polish, and undergraduate clarity.
Every word, sentence, and paragraph serving the reader's understanding.

Rule

Apply the appropriate layer (word, sentence, paragraph) based on user intent.

For full‑text polishing, always process in the order: word → sentence → paragraph.

For new drafting, build from paragraph structure down to word choice.

Delegate concrete operations to the reference files; this skill only coordinates.

Workflow

• When the current object is a chapter introduction, load references/improving-chapter-intro.md and execute its rules.

• When user requests wording help, load references/improving-word.md and execute its rules.

• When user requests sentence flow, load references/improving-sentence.md and execute its rules.

• When user requests paragraph structure, load references/improving-paragraph.md and execute its rules.

• When user requests comprehensive polishing, run the pipeline:

1. references/improving-word.md – clean up vocabulary

1. references/improving-sentence.md – streamline syntax and flow

1. references/improving-paragraph.md – ensure logical hierarchy and transitions

• When user asks to draft a section, reverse the pipeline:

1. references/improving-paragraph.md – plan topic and evidence

1. references/improving-sentence.md – develop planned ideas into fluent sentences

1. references/improving-word.md – refine academic tone
