Oiticica Description
Use this skill when reviewing or rewriting English prose where description is the controlling issue.
Source concept: Description is a sequence of aspects.
Rules
- Choose aspects that let the reader see this object, place, or person rather than a generic member of its class.
- Separate interior, landscape, type, still-life, and scene work by the kind of aspect being selected.
- Omit inventory items that do not distinguish the subject.
- Prefer concrete nouns, visible actions, local names, and sensory facts over mood labels.
Review Shape
Use the source-model shape for strong models:
Principle:
<oiticica-description: 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-description: 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-description.
If the prompt says source-model or source-model paraphrase, copy the supplied example in Preserve and do not use repair headings.
Objective Rubric
- Every sentence adds a visible or audible aspect.
- At least one detail distinguishes this subject from a stock example.
- Generic labels such as beautiful, gloomy, splendid, or picturesque are supported by particulars.
- The order lets the reader locate the parts without rereading.
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.
