Oiticica Originality
Use this skill when reviewing or rewriting English prose where originality is the controlling issue.
Source concept: Originality presents aspects, facts, or opinions personally, without imitating another's processes or mannerisms.
Rules
- Reject stock phrases, borrowed images, and general aspects.
- Particularize place, time, object, and action.
- Use exact vocabulary instead of novelty hunting.
- Let originality arise from observation and relation, not forced strangeness.
Review Shape
Use the source-model shape for strong models:
Principle:
<oiticica-originality: 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-originality: 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-originality.
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 passage contains at least one specific observed relation.
- No stock image carries the main effect.
- The vocabulary names the subject's own world.
- The sentence could not be moved unchanged to any subject of the same class.
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.
