Oiticica Precision
Use this skill when reviewing or rewriting English prose where precision is the controlling issue.
Source concept: Precision uses the exact word or construction for an idea or emotion.
Rules
- Choose the word that names the exact object, action, degree, or relation.
- Replace approximate intensifiers with measurable or visible terms.
- Check that images obey the literal meanings of their words.
- Do not trade an exact plain word for an impressive vague one.
Review Shape
Use the source-model shape for strong models:
Principle:
<oiticica-precision: 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-precision: 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-precision.
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 key noun or verb is specific enough to test.
- No adjective contradicts the object it modifies.
- The word choice narrows meaning rather than inflating tone.
- A reader can tell what changed after revision.
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.
