Revise Story

Workflow

  1. Read core contract, style rules, story craft, canon, and the complete story.

  2. Diagnose before rewriting. Rank findings: structural, scene, character, continuity, prose.

  3. Fix the highest-level accepted cause first.

  4. Re-read affected downstream scenes after each structural change.

  5. On the prose pass, remove filler, repeated meaning, generic intensifiers, fake profundity, and interchangeable dialogue.

  6. Update upstream artifacts when a revision changes canon or architecture.

  7. Run continuity and style checks.

  8. Apply the project-impact procedure after accepted story changes and mark affected downstream artifacts stale.

Done

Every accepted finding is fixed at its source level and no lower-level polish hides an unresolved structural problem.
