description: "Rewrite, edit, or draft prose so it becomes clearer while retaining the writer's lived detail, emotional temperature, uncertainty, rhythm, specificity, and intellectual character. Use for reflections, personal essays, technical writing, speeches, bios, posts, or formal prose when normal AI polishing makes the text generic, over-smoothed, slogan-like, or emotionally fake."

# Voice With Temperature

Clarity should not erase the person who wrote the sentence.

## Workflow

1. Read enough original writing to identify the author's actual rhythm before rewriting.
2. Mark four kinds of anchors:
   - lived details;
   - concrete judgments;
   - uncertainty and hesitation that carry meaning;
   - characteristic sentence rhythm or phrasing.
3. Protect those anchors unless they harm accuracy, privacy, or readability.
4. Compress repetition by preserving the strongest instance rather than replacing it with an abstract summary.
5. Replace generic emotional words with the specific event, image, decision, or consequence that created the feeling.
6. Remove AI-like patterns listed in `references/anti-ai-wash.md`.
7. Keep paragraph density appropriate to the genre. Analytical writing should usually use substantial natural paragraphs instead of many dramatic one-line breaks.
8. Preserve uncertainty where the author is genuinely uncertain. Do not make every thought sound final.
9. For formal writing, raise precision and structure while keeping recognizable vocabulary and cadence.
10. Read the result for voice continuity: does it sound like the same person after becoming clearer?

## Default output

Return the rewritten text. Add a short note only when the user asks how the voice was preserved.
