FieldBound contract
TriggerUser asks to tighten verbose-but-correct prose without a full rewrite
AuthorityReversible local: writes only the named artifact, cutting words in place; rollback is version control. No remote mutation.
Side effectLocal write to the target artifact only; no re-derivation, no move to another home
DoneEvery load-bearing claim present before remains after; the result reads as intentionally terse, not amputated; genuine duplication or drift is handed off instead of force-compressed

Inputs

Procedure

\n
    \n
  1. Pin the artifact and read it end to end. Record one line per section stating the load-bearing content that must survive the pass. Done when: every section has a one-line load-bearing-content record.
    2. \n
  2. Distinguish bloat from content. Bloat is padding that adds length without meaning: a qualifier or parenthetical the sentence works without, a fused sentence carrying three ideas, an enumeration where a rule and short list would do, a point restated nearby, or litigation history where the rule alone suffices. Done when: bloat is distinguished from load-bearing content in every section.
    3. \n
  3. Compress in place: cut the padding, split the fused sentence or drop its dead clause, collapse the wall, keep a repeated point once. Move nothing to another artifact and re-derive nothing. Done when: padding is cut in place with nothing moved or re-derived.
    4. \n
  4. Preserve every load-bearing claim, a rule, fact, constraint, or example that carries weight. If cutting a word would lose one, keep the word. Done when: every load-bearing claim present before remains after the pass.
    5. \n
  5. Respect intended richness: human-facing prose meant to teach or orient (a quickstart, a worked example) earns its length. Compress the bloat, not the accessibility. Done when: human-facing teaching prose is preserved at its earned length.
    6. \n
  6. When the bloat is really duplication across artifacts, or the content has drifted stale, stop and name it: hand duplication to the appropriate deduplication work and drift to the appropriate rewrite work. This skill only tightens; it does not dedup or rewrite. Done when: duplication or drift is named and handed off, or no misclassification is found.
    7. \n
  7. Re-read cold and cut again; the first pass always leaves some. Done when: a cold re-read finds no remaining bloat.
    8. \n
\n

Output

\n

The target artifact with words cut in place to load-bearing density, plus a report listing sections tightened, load-bearing claims confirmed, unchanged sections, and any duplication or drift handoff.
