Oiticica Narration
Use this skill when reviewing or rewriting English prose where narration is the controlling issue.
Source concept: Narration is a sequence of facts or episodes.
Rules
- Keep events in causal or temporal order unless a deliberate reversal clarifies cause.
- Name the actor, action, obstacle, and result for each episode.
- Do not stop the movement for decoration that neither changes the episode nor prepares the next one.
- Use summary for routine links and scene for decisive turns.
Review Shape
Use the source-model shape for strong models:
Principle:
<oiticica-narration: 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-narration: 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-narration.
If the prompt says source-model or source-model paraphrase, copy the supplied example in Preserve and do not use repair headings.
Objective Rubric
- A reader can list what happened first, next, and last.
- Each episode changes the situation.
- Motives and consequences are close to the actions they explain.
- No descriptive pause hides the main action.
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.
