Workflow

工作流程

  1. Read the target draft first.
  2. Then inspect this project structure when the files exist:
    • brief/thesis.md
    • brief/audience.md
    • brief/constraints.md
    • brief/outline.md
    • style/voice.md
    • style/house-style.md
    • research/source-index.md
    • research/notes/
    • research/excerpts/
    • drafts/
  3. Read
    brief/thesis.md
    ,
    brief/constraints.md
    ,
    style/voice.md
    , and
    style/house-style.md
    when they exist.
  4. Read
    brief/outline.md
    and
    brief/audience.md
    when structure, ordering, or explanatory depth matters.
  5. Read only the research notes and excerpts that are clearly relevant to the claims in the target draft.
  6. Read adjacent draft files only when chronology, cross-references, or repeated framing depends on them.
  7. Use the reference guide at
    references/project-shape.md
    when the project layout needs interpretation.
  8. If the target is a directory or the mode is manuscript-level, read the draft files in natural order and treat them as one continuous work.
  9. Work from the text and sources that exist. Do not invent sourcing, examples, quotations, numbers, or certainty.
  1. 首先读取目标草稿。
  2. 若文件存在,检查以下项目结构:
    • brief/thesis.md
    • brief/audience.md
    • brief/constraints.md
    • brief/outline.md
    • style/voice.md
    • style/house-style.md
    • research/source-index.md
    • research/notes/
    • research/excerpts/
    • drafts/
  3. brief/thesis.md
    brief/constraints.md
    style/voice.md
    style/house-style.md
    存在,则读取这些文件。
  4. 当涉及结构、排序或解释深度时,读取
    brief/outline.md
    brief/audience.md
  5. 仅读取与目标草稿中的论点明确相关的研究笔记和摘录。
  6. 仅当涉及时间顺序、交叉引用或重复框架依赖时,读取相邻的草稿文件。
  7. 当需要解读项目布局时,参考
    references/project-shape.md
    中的指南。
  8. 若目标是目录或模式为手稿级,按自然顺序读取草稿文件并将其视为一个连续的作品。
  9. 基于现有文本和资料开展工作。不得编造资料、示例、引文、数据或确定性结论。

Global Rules

通用规则

  • Preserve the author's thesis, argument, and level of certainty unless the user asks for a substantive change.
  • Preserve citations, quotations, markdown structure, and the project's spelling and punctuation conventions.
  • Do not introduce facts, chronology, examples, names, statistics, or causal claims that are not supported by the draft or source material.
  • When evidence is thin, reduce overclaiming instead of papering over the gap.
  • Prefer specific, direct prose over generic explanation.
  • Remove throat-clearing, filler transitions, and ornamental abstraction.
  • Avoid rhetorical self-repetition across a manuscript. Patterns such as
    not X but Y
    ,
    this is not ... it is ...
    , or repeated
    what matters is ...
    can work once but weaken trust when they recur.
  • Keep the reader's trust in view. Precision beats flourish.
  • Prefer the smallest amount of research lookup needed to do the job well.
  • Keep output aligned with the mode requested.
  • 除非用户要求实质性修改,否则保留作者的论点、论证和确定性程度。
  • 保留引用、引文、Markdown结构以及项目的拼写和标点规范。
  • 不得引入草稿或资料未支持的事实、时间顺序、示例、姓名、统计数据或因果主张。
  • 当证据不足时,减少过度断言,而非掩盖漏洞。
  • 优先使用具体、直接的 prose 而非泛泛解释。
  • 删除铺垫性语句、填充性过渡和装饰性抽象表达。
  • 避免手稿中出现修辞性自我重复。诸如
    not X but Y
    this is not ... it is ...
    或重复的
    what matters is ...
    等模式使用一次可能有效,但重复出现会削弱读者信任。
  • 始终考虑读者信任。精准胜于华丽。
  • 优先使用完成工作所需的最少研究资料。
  • 确保输出与请求的模式保持一致。

Mode:
write

模式:
write

Use this mode to draft, expand, or rewrite a non-fiction piece from the existing brief and source material.
  • Follow the thesis, audience, constraints, and outline when they exist.
  • Preserve the intended argument, scope, and burden of proof.
  • Turn notes into clean prose without laundering speculation into fact.
  • Where source support is missing, either keep the language appropriately qualified or leave a tight bracketed note such as
    [source needed]
    .
  • Favor forward argument over summary-heavy setup.
  • If editing the file directly is appropriate in the current session, update the target file. Otherwise return the revised draft only.
Output:
  • Revised draft only, unless the user explicitly asks for commentary.
使用此模式基于现有大纲和资料起草、扩展或改写非虚构作品。
  • 若存在论点、受众、约束和大纲,则遵循这些内容。
  • 保留预期的论证、范围和举证责任。
  • 将笔记转化为简洁的prose,不得将猜测洗白为事实。
  • 若缺乏资料支持,要么使用适当的限定性语言,要么留下紧凑的方括号注释,如
    [source needed]
  • 优先推进论证而非过度总结的铺垫。
  • 若当前会话适合直接编辑文件,则更新目标文件。否则仅返回修订后的草稿。
输出:
  • 仅返回修订后的草稿,除非用户明确要求评论。

  • Preserve meaning, evidence, and the draft's core structure unless a local move clearly improves readability.
  • Do not quietly add sourcing, examples, or certainty.
  • If editing the file directly is appropriate in the current session, update the target file. Otherwise return the rewritten text only.

  • What to strengthen next
    (下一步需强化的内容)

Mode:
global-critique

模式:
global-critique

Use this mode for manuscript-level editorial feedback across a full draft directory.
  • Read the draft files in order and evaluate the work as one argument.
  • Look for thesis drift, structural repetition, redundant sections, and pressure points where the argument starts to feel pre-confirmed rather than discovered.
  • Identify repeated rhetorical moves across chapters or sections, especially recurring reversals, summary cadences, and self-validating transitions.
  • Check whether evidence density, tone, and explanatory depth stay calibrated from start to finish.
  • Point out where a chapter-level fix will not solve a manuscript-level weakness.
Output headings:
  • Manuscript strengths
  • Recurring weaknesses
  • Where the argument repeats or hardens too early
  • Structural revisions to make next
使用此模式针对完整草稿目录提供手稿级编辑反馈。
  • 按顺序读取草稿文件,并将作品视为一个整体论证进行评估。
  • 查找论点偏离、结构重复、冗余章节以及论证开始显得预先确认而非逐步推导的关键点。
  • 识别章节或部分间重复的修辞手法,尤其是反复出现的转折、总结节奏和自我验证的过渡。
  • 检查证据密度、语气和解释深度是否从头到尾保持一致。
  • 指出章节级修复无法解决的手稿级问题。
输出标题:
  • Manuscript strengths
    (手稿优势)

    (论证重复或过早固化之处)
  • Structural revisions to make next
    (下一步需进行的结构修订)

Mode:
global-rewrite

模式:
global-rewrite

Use this mode to revise a full draft directory while preserving thesis, evidence, and overall architecture.
  • Rewrite chapter by chapter, but keep a running view of repeated framing, repeated conclusions, and repeated rhetorical scaffolds.
  • Remove cross-manuscript habits that make the prose feel templated.
  • Preserve terminology unless inconsistency itself is the problem.
  • Do not normalize every chapter into the same cadence; variation is part of readable long-form work.
  • If editing files directly is appropriate in the current session, update the draft files in place. Otherwise return the revised manuscript in a clearly segmented form.
Output:
  • Revised manuscript only, unless the user explicitly asks for notes.
使用此模式修订完整草稿目录,同时保留论点、证据和整体架构。
  • 逐章改写,但持续关注重复的框架、结论和修辞结构。
  • 删除跨手稿的习惯性表述,避免 prose 显得模板化。
  • 保留术语,除非术语本身存在不一致问题。
  • 不要将每一章都调整为相同节奏;变化是易读长文的一部分。
  • 若当前会话适合直接编辑文件,则就地更新草稿文件。否则以清晰分段的形式返回修订后的手稿。
输出:
  • 仅返回修订后的手稿,除非用户明确要求注释。
