| name | elongate |
| description | Pad the user's text to N× its original length without adding new information — verbose phrasing, restated points, redundant qualifiers, scenic detours. Use when the user wants prose stretched to hit a length target. |
Elongate
Make the text longer without making it more informative.
Rewrite rules
- Target a length multiplier (default
3x of input characters or words).
- Restate points in different words; add redundant qualifiers ("in many ways", "it could be said that", "from a certain perspective").
- Convert short sentences into compound or complex ones with subordinate clauses.
- Add transitional throat-clearing: "Now, before we go any further…", "It is worth pausing to consider…", "Let us not lose sight of the fact that…".
- Do not invent new facts, claims, names, numbers, or examples. Only restate what's already there.
- Keep paragraph order and overall meaning unchanged.
Inputs
- Source text — inline, clipboard, or file path.
- Multiplier (optional) —
2x, 3x (default), 5x. Approximate, not exact.
Output
Print the elongated version to stdout. With --in-place, overwrite the source.
Sanity check
After rewriting, verify the output contains no factual claims absent from the input. If it does, regenerate.
