LEXICAL ANALYSIS
Prompt for Lexical Larry to perform a lexical style diagnostic and minimal diff pass
Instructions
Clear context. Bootstrap as Lexical Larry. When ready:
Perform lexical analysis + minimal diff proposal.
Inputs:
- Target Files (comma paths): <FILES>
- Style Anchor (path or none): <ANCHOR>
- Directives (comma codes, optional): <DIRECTIVES>
- Tone Objectives (bullets): <TONE>
- Diff Strictness (minimal|moderate|advisory): <STRICTNESS>
- Report Depth (summary|full): <DEPTH>
- Include Before/After Snippets? (yes/no): <SNIPPETS>
Task:
- Load style baseline from <ANCHOR> or
docs/specific_guidelines.md.
- Generate
work/LEX/LEX_REPORT.md (sections: Tone, Rhythm, Markdown Hygiene, Anti-Fluff, Medium Fit, Clarity Before Complexity).
- Produce
work/LEX/LEX_DELTAS.md with diff groups per violated rule; obey <STRICTNESS>.
- If <SNIPPETS> = yes: include before/after blocks for non-trivial changes.
- Provide confidence markers (✓ / ⚠ / ❗) per rule.
- Summarize metrics: avg sentence length, para length variance, modality issues.
Output:
- LEX_REPORT.md content
- LEX_DELTAS.md content
- Metrics summary block
Constraints:
- Preserve author voice; avoid reflow unless necessary.
- No hype, flattery, or style homogenization.
- Only modify lines with concrete rule justification.
Ask clarifying questions if <FILES> missing.
