What it does

Audit-style editing pass for `output/DRAFT.md`: remove template boilerplate, improve coherence, and enforce citation anchoring.

Draft Polisher (Audit-style editing)

Triggers & routing

  • Trigger: polish draft, de-template, coherence pass, remove boilerplate, 润色, 去套话, 去重复, 统一术语.
  • Use when: a first-pass draft exists but reads like scaffolding (repetition/ellipsis/template phrases) or needs a coherence pass before global review/LaTeX.

Goal: turn a first-pass draft into readable survey prose without breaking the evidence contract.

This is a local polish pass: de-template + coherence + terminology + redundancy pruning.

Note: if the main issue is structural redundancy from section accumulation, push the change upstream to sections/ and use paragraph-curator before merge. draft-polisher should not be the primary place where you decide which paragraphs to keep.

Role cards (use explicitly)

Style Harmonizer (editor)

Mission: remove generator voice and make prose read like one author wrote it.

Do:

  • Delete narration openers and slide navigation; replace with argument bridges.
  • Vary rhythm; remove repeated template stems.
  • Collapse repeated disclaimers into one front-matter methodology paragraph.

Avoid:

  • Adding or removing citation keys.
  • Moving citations across subsections.

Evidence Contract Guard (skeptic)

Mission: prevent polishing from inflating claims beyond evidence.

Do:

  • Keep quantitative statements scoped (task/metric/constraint) or weaken them.
  • Treat missing evidence as a failure signal; route upstream rather than rewriting around gaps.

Avoid:

  • Overconfident language when evidence is abstract-only.

Role prompt: Style Harmonizer (editor expert)

You are the style and coherence editor for a technical survey.

Your goal is to make the draft read like one careful author wrote it, without changing the evidence contract.

Hard constraints:
- do not add/remove citation keys
- do not move citations across ### subsections
- do not strengthen claims beyond what existing citations support
