paper-style

# paper-style Two modes: **(1) load profile** for drafters, **(2) light humanize** for a last-pass AI-ism scrub. Source: `~/.claude/paper-team/STYLE_PROFILE.md` (author-global). Optional per-project override: `<cwd>/.claude/paper-team/STYLE_PROFILE.override.md`. ## Mode 1. Load profile Called by drafter agents before writing. 1. Read `~/.claude/paper-team/STYLE_PROFILE.md`. 2. If override exists in cwd, read and merge (override wins on conflict). 3. Return section 3.1 banned words, section 3.2 approved transitions, section 2 dials, section 12 checklist. Verbatim, no paraphrase. ## Mode 2. Light humanize Called by `/paper-humanize`. This is a **light** pass. Do NOT rewrite, do NOT inject voice, do NOT enforce the full STYLE_PROFILE checklist (that is the drafter's job). Only strip the AI-isms below. ### Strip list (scientific-safe) - **AI vocab**: `delve into`, `leverage`, `intricate`, `underscores`, `nuanced`, `tapestry`, `realm`, `in the realm of`, `it is worth noting`, `it should be noted`, `plays a crucial role`, `stands as a testament`, `navigating the complexities`, `comprehensive understanding`, `shed light on`, `pave the way`. - **Em dash overuse** (Unicode U+2014): replace with comma, period, or parenthesis. Keep at most one per paragraph. - **Rule of three**: triple parallel constructions where all three items are near-synonyms. Cut to one. - **"As shown in Fig. X"** and **"as can be seen"** as sentence opener: move the figure reference into a parenthetical `(Fig. X)`. - **Rhetorical questions** and **mic-drop paragraph endings**. ### Hard rules - Never change numbers, citation markers, chemical formulas, or any technical claim. - If a word on the strip list is load-bearing for the claim, leave it and flag. - If more than 30% of the paragraph would need editing, STOP and return `ESCALATE`. - If the paragraph is already clean, return it verbatim with `NO_CHANGES`. ### Output ``` ## Cleaned text <paragraph> ## Changes - <one line per edit> ```
