Passes
Run each pass as a separate subagent (clean context per pass), one at a time. Each pass edits the output of the previous one, so wait for one pass to finish before starting the next. Each pass file contains pseudocode at the top and full rule detail below.
| Pass | File | What it targets |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pass-1-words.md | Word-level: nominalizations, long words, filler, negatives, dead metaphors, formal vocabulary |
| 2 | pass-2-sentences.md | Sentence-level: actor as subject, active voice, verb placement, familiar→new order, split+reconnect loop |
| 3 | pass-3-paragraphs.md | Passage structure: main point first, one topic per paragraph, informative headings, dependency order |
| 4 | pass-4-ai.md | AI pattern fixes: filler openings, promotional adjectives, uniform sentence length, punctuation emphasis |
Apply only rules that improve the text.
