Oiticica Assonance
Use this skill when reviewing or rewriting English prose where assonance is the controlling issue.
Source concept: Assonance is repetition of vowel sounds.
Rules
- Allow assonance when it is deliberate music, echo, or emphasis.
- Flag accidental assonance when it distracts from prose meaning.
- Revise by changing one nearby word, not the whole sentence.
- Check the sound aloud.
Review Shape
Use the source-model shape for strong models:
Principle:
<oiticica-assonance: one sentence naming the concept>
Preserve:
<supplied example text>
Why:
<why the model satisfies the concept>
Rubric:
<at least two objective checks, each marked Pass or Fail>
Use the repair shape for weak passages:
Principle:
<oiticica-assonance: one sentence naming the concept>
Weak:
<small passage or paraphrase>
Fault:
<name the exact broken relation>
Better:
<corrected version>
Why:
<explain how the revision restores the relation>
Rubric:
<at least two objective checks, each marked Pass or Fail>
Start Principle with the exact skill name oiticica-assonance.
If the prompt says source-model or source-model paraphrase, copy the supplied example in Preserve and do not use repair headings.
Objective Rubric
- The repeated vowel sound is identified.
- The review distinguishes intentional from accidental repetition.
- The correction reduces distraction.
- Meaning remains exact.
Pass only when every applicable check passes. If correctness fails, fix or name that failure before judging style.
English Rule
Apply modern English grammar, punctuation, morphology, idiom, and prosody. Do not transfer Portuguese orthography or grammar into English.
Source Boundary
Source notes live in references/notes.md.
Do not invent source quotations. If an example is labeled as a paraphrase or invented passage, preserve that boundary in the review.
When a task asks for a Preserve section, copy the supplied example text exactly; do not replace it with imagined source prose.
