| name | haipipe-paper-revise |
| description | Paper-specific REVISE phase worker (internal). Called whenever the Page router enters REVISE to improve manuscript realization under fixed purpose and Aims. Default REVISE changes prose directly; an explicit author request enables candidate-diff mode. If PROBE landed evidence, place runs before content and voice workers. A changed promise routes to DRAFT and a new unknown routes to PROBE. Users invoke stage skills, not this directly. |

Skill: haipipe-paper-revise (internal phase worker)
REVISE phase worker.
Called by stage skills (pitch, narrative, section-edit) whenever the current purpose and Aims stand but their manuscript realization needs work.
The stage defines WHAT was drafted.
This skill defines HOW to revise it.
LOAD THE PAGE LAYERS FIRST: ../../../../board/page-types/haipipe-board-page-for-stage/SKILL.md, then ../../../../board/page-phases/haipipe-board-page-revise/SKILL.md.
The generic contract owns fixed-promise authority and routing.
This file adds manuscript workers and markup rules.
What the REVISE contract means. By default, the agent CHANGES the prose directly and leaves %% {CC-*}: comments explaining WHY each non-trivial change was made.
The human does not approve changes here; the human gives preferences in CHECK (via > USER: comments), and a REVISE restart responds to them.
Author-selected exception. When the author explicitly asks to retain the original sentence, show deletions/additions, use the Board's sentence apparatus, or review candidates before applying, run candidate-diff mode. This mode leaves every original sentence unchanged and writes a > Note: candidate beneath it. It is a review artifact, not a completed direct REVISE.
Proof-carrying (binding). A stage hub reaches REVISE ONLY through Skill(haipipe-paper-revise) — hand-editing the prose inline is a protocol violation ("the REVISE phase did not happen").
Every run writes a [REVISE] entry in the owning S page's ## Log with a
workers line: workers: place ✓ content ✓ humanizer ✓ results -- (✓ ran · --
skipped-with-reason). checks.sh --stage-page fails a [REVISE] entry without it.
Order of operations: revise the working .md FIRST, then sync to tex — never tex-first (the .md is the document the human reads and comments in).
Not user-facing. Users invoke stage skills:
/haipipe-paper pitch → pitch skill calls this internally for REVISE phase
/haipipe-paper narrative → narrative skill calls this internally for REVISE phase
/haipipe-paper section-edit §3 → section-edit skill calls this internally
What REVISE means
REVISE = improve the current promise's manuscript realization, applying changes directly with why-comments.
When an answer landed, place it before rewriting the affected prose.
Four workers, each with a different lens:
haipipe-paper-revise-place SUBSTITUTE landed answers into placeholders (runs FIRST)
haipipe-paper-revise-content WHAT sentences say (accuracy, completeness, claims)
weave method: writing/haipipe-writing/ref/weaving.md
haipipe-paper-revise-humanizer HOW sentences sound (de-AI audit, voice)
general tells: writing/haipipe-writing/ref/ai-tells.md
haipipe-paper-revise-results results-specific (figure narration, effect reporting)
All four apply rules directly.
No comment-first protocol, no human gate.
The agent reads prose-quality.md + venue style profile, applies fixes, leaves %% {CC-*}: why-comments, and moves on.
Human review of revised prose happens in CHECK.
Revision modes
Default direct mode
Apply the four workers to the source .md, leave %% {CC-*}: why-comments for non-trivial edits, then sync the accepted source to TeX. This is the normal autonomous REVISE path.
Candidate-diff mode
Use this mode only after an explicit author request for reviewable alternatives. Read haipipe-paper-revise-humanizer/ref/venue-sciwrite.md before proposing any change, and writing/haipipe-writing/ref/ai-tells.md for the general catalogue (Layer 1 moved there on 260801).
- Keep the source sentence, its citations, values, display lanes, and user comments byte-intact.
- Put one complete proposed sentence in an adjacent
> Note: lane. Mark removed text as ~~removed~~ and inserted or replacement text as **inserted**.
COMPUTE those marks, do not write them: python3 <skills>/writing/haipipe-writing/cli/wdiff.py record --host paper --old "<source sentence>" --new "<proposal>" --when "<YYYY-MM-DD>" (JL 260801, --host added 260802). --host paper emits this host's ~~removed~~ / **inserted** marks directly, so convert nothing by hand. Written by hand the diff comes out as a whole-sentence swap, which shows the reviewer nothing that SURVIVED, and that is the one thing a candidate lane exists to show.
- Append
· <verified model label> · YYYY-MM-DD; never invent a model name or version.
- Make only minimum, meaning-preserving changes. Do not add or remove a claim, qualifier, causal strength, number, citation, display reference, or defined term.
- Place the Note after any existing adjacent
> Citation:, > Value:, or > Display: lanes so the entire apparatus folds under the same sentence.
- Do not sync candidate Notes to TeX, call the source revised, or mark REVISE complete. Promote only author-accepted candidates in a later direct REVISE or CHECK action.
Universal rules
All revise workers read and enforce ../../REF/prose-quality.md. Installed skills flatten the tree (symlinks under ~/.claude/skills/), so that relative path is NOT reliable — locate it layout-agnostically:
PQ=$(find -L ~/.claude/skills ./.claude/skills "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-/nonexistent}" -maxdepth 4 -path '*2-phase/REF/prose-quality.md' 2>/dev/null | head -1) (absent → apply the rules below, note the gap in the S page's ## Log).
The rules:
- One idea per sentence
- No em-dashes
- Compress, don't split
- No AI voice
- Use verified numbers
- <=6 sentences per paragraph
- Pn.Sn markers on every sentence
Venue-specific norms come from
0-lifecycle/2-venue/S-Venue-0-venue.md and override where they conflict.
Read a venue pack directly only as fallback when that S page is absent, or as a
deep dive via its [source: ...] tags.
Venue guard (same rule as DRAFT): when revising a venue-ALIGNED artifact, no venue: pinned in S-Venue-0-venue.md -> STOP with status: blocked and point the user to /haipipe-paper venue.
Venue pinned -> read S-Venue-0-venue.md FIRST; fall back to the pinned pack
only when it is absent. If a per-section style file is missing, flag the gap in
the S page's ## Items to Finish and ## Log, and in CHECK.
Never silently invent venue norms.
Dispatch logic
Read the section outline and tex to determine which workers to run:
| Worker | Run when | Skip when |
|---|
| place | the artifact carries any placeholder | no placeholder in the artifact |
| content | always | never |
| humanizer | always | never (AI-authored prose reliably contains patterns) |
| results | section is Results or contains figure/table narration | non-results sections |
When no specific worker is named, run in order: place → content (incl. its weave step for ¶-flow) → humanizer → results (if applicable).
place runs FIRST and the order is binding: substituting after the prose workers would re-open sentences they had already finished, so the shipped text would never have been reviewed in its final form.
Automation
REVISE is fully automatic.
The agent:
- Reads the working .md and current .tex
- Uses default direct mode or the author-selected candidate-diff mode above
- In direct mode, applies prose-quality.md rules to the .MD, leaves
%% {CC-*}: why-comments on non-trivial changes, and syncs the revised .md → .tex (Pn.Sn markers; tex prose never edited directly)
- In candidate-diff mode, writes only
> Note: lanes in the .MD and rebuilds the Board; it does not change or sync the manuscript prose
- Writes the owning S page's
[REVISE] Log entry only for a completed direct run; candidate-diff mode records an [REVIEW] entry if the project uses logs
- Hands back to the stage hub, which opens CHECK after direct REVISE — never commit or conclude before the CHECK gate opens
No stopping for comments mid-pass.
No waiting for approval.
The CHECK phase is where the human reviews everything and states preferences.
Phase status
Derive revise status from disk:
revise ✅ tex synced from revised outline, all rules applied
revise 🚀 revise in progress
revise ⬜ not yet started for the current fixed-promise work
Relation to other phases
DRAFT → PROBE → REVISE (this) → CHECK
│
├── haipipe-paper-revise-place (SUBSTITUTE landed answers, FIRST)
├── haipipe-paper-revise-content (WHAT: accuracy, claims)
├── haipipe-paper-revise-humanizer (HOW: de-AI voice)
└── haipipe-paper-revise-results (results-specific)
When PROBE landed evidence, REVISE reads each #### a-executor, PLACES it into the prose (discharging the placeholder's bracket), and rewrites those sentences into final prose.
CHECK then verifies the revised result.
Return contract
status: ok | blocked
section: <section-name>
workers: place <status> │ content <status> │ humanizer <status> │ results <status>
next: <suggested command>
Who calls this skill
Stage skills call this as their REVISE phase:
| Stage skill | What this skill revises |
|---|
| pitch | cover letter prose (readability rules) |
| narrative | story beat prose (arc/flow coherence) |
| section-edit | section tex (full revise: content + humanizer + results) |
Note: whether a stage runs REVISE is declared by its own contract's phases: list, not by this table. Argument docs (seed, resource, claims) need no venue-quality POLISH — but they DO run REVISE when their contract lists it, because REVISE is also where a landed answer is woven back into the sentences that cite it and the [Q-<Stage>-<n>] bracket is discharged. 2a-venue is the one stage that genuinely omits REVISE: it produces a contract, not prose.
Resource has ONE exception: a woolly fitness ruling ("probably fine") is a DEFECT, not an answer -- when an A does not say what it KILLS, resource does NOT skip REVISE and sharpens it instead.
