Oiticica Image
Use this skill when reviewing or rewriting English prose where image is the controlling issue.
Source concept: An image is an aesthetic relation between objects, phenomena, or actions.
Rules
- Name both sides of the relation and the shared quality.
- Reject images whose relation is stale, false, or merely decorative.
- Prefer a precise image drawn from the subject's world.
- Do not mix incompatible images in one sentence.
Review Shape
Use the source-model shape for strong models:
Principle:
<oiticica-image: 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-image: 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-image.
If the prompt says source-model or source-model paraphrase, copy the supplied example in Preserve and do not use repair headings.
Objective Rubric
- The image has two clear terms.
- The shared relation is concrete.
- The image clarifies or intensifies the subject.
- No dead metaphor carries the main force.
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.
