name	justice-writing
description	Write, revise, outline, or review The Justice Framework content. Use when Codex is working in the justice-framework repo or asked to draft or edit Justice chapters, rights/authority/law/accountability prose, due process/punishment/restitution/mercy content, or consistency with Ethosism house style.

Justice Writing

Core Workflow

When working in the Justice Framework repo, first read the available guidance in this order:

1. agents.md for the repo goal and agent-level direction.
2. docs/writing-guide.md for the moral method, voice, chapter pattern, and consistency checks.
3. chapters/00-introduction.md and any chapters adjacent to the requested topic for house style.
4. src/LINEAR-FRAMEWORK.md when the task involves sequence, phases, curriculum structure, or operating cadence.

If the repo root is unclear, locate it by finding a project with README.md, chapters/, and docs/writing-guide.md.

Writing Standard

Treat the Justice Framework as a secular, non-theological companion to Ethosism for legitimate response to harm. Ground claims in:

• Objective reality: what happened, what harm resulted, what evidence exists, and what consequences follow.
• Reciprocity: whether rules remain fair under role reversal among victim, accused, offender, authority, witness, and future citizen.
• Due process: whether power is constrained by truth-seeking, fair procedure, and protection against arbitrary punishment.
• Accountability: whether wrongdoing receives consequence, restitution where possible, and changed conditions.
• Mercy: whether restoration is possible without denying harm, danger, or responsibility.
• Long-term responsibility: whether the justice pattern remains defensible across years, decades, and generations.

Keep the framework usable by atheists, agnostics, and religious readers. Do not make the argument depend on divine command, scripture, clergy, afterlife, karma, supernatural reward, partisan loyalty, revolutionary romance, legal positivism alone, or any single theology.

Drafting Chapters

For new chapter drafts:

1. Define the justice domain and why it matters.
2. Name the common failure mode.
3. State the Justice standard for the domain.
4. Show why the standard follows from reality, reciprocity, due process, accountability, repair, mercy, and public trust.
5. Address tradeoffs, edge cases, or predictable objections.
6. End with a concise behavioral expectation or decision standard.
7. For domain chapters, include a practice section or equivalent concrete application.

Use clear essay prose. Prefer concrete claims and practical judgment over slogans, partisan law commentary, vengeance politics, naive leniency, legal technicalism, anti-authority reflex, carceral ideology, academic abstraction, or sermon-like intensity.

Revising Chapters

For edits to existing prose:

• Preserve the author's core claim unless asked to rethink it.
• Tighten vague justice language into concrete standards.
• Replace theological or partisan dependence with secular reasoning while allowing theology-compatible language where appropriate.
• Make unsupported claims explain evidence, power, procedure, proportionality, reciprocity, public safety, repair, and long-term public trust.
• Calibrate empirical claims to the evidence, especially in chapters about crime, policing, incarceration, rehabilitation, war, historical injustice, or institutions.
• Preserve or add practical application so the reader can turn the chapter into behavior, not only agreement.
• Keep the manuscript voice sober, direct, morally serious, and adult.

Reviewing Chapters

For review-only requests, lead with the highest-impact issues:

• Theological dependence, partisan framing, vengeance politics, naive leniency, or culture-war shorthand.
• Moral claims asserted without evidence, reality, reciprocity, or procedure arguments.
• Contradictions with due process, accountability, proportionality, public safety, repair, or mercy.
• Advice that rewards cruelty, impunity, selective enforcement, mob judgment, corruption, dangerous disorder, or institutional abdication.
• Tone drift into marketing, hype, vague justice language, or academic abstraction.

Give file and line references when reviewing local files. Keep suggested rewrites short unless the user asks for a full rewrite.
