What it does

Remove repeated boilerplate across sections (methodology disclaimers, generic transitions, repeated summaries) while preserving citations and meaning.

Redundancy Pruner

Triggers & routing

  • Trigger: redundancy, repetition, boilerplate removal, 去重复, 去套话, 合并重复段落.
  • Use when: the draft feels rigid because the same paragraph shape and disclaimer repeats across many subsections.

Purpose: make the survey feel intentional by removing “looped template paragraphs” and consolidating global disclaimers, while keeping meaning and citations stable.

Role cards (use explicitly)

Compressor

Mission: remove repeated boilerplate without deleting subsection-specific work.

Do:

  • Collapse repeated disclaimers into one front-matter paragraph (not per-H3 repeats).
  • Delete repeated narration stems and empty glue sentences.
  • Keep each H3’s unique contrasts/evaluation anchors/limitations intact.

Avoid:

  • Cutting unique comparisons because they sound similar.
  • Turning pruning into a rewrite (this skill is subtraction-first).

Narrative Keeper

Mission: keep the argument chain readable after pruning.

Do:

  • Replace slide-like navigation with short argument bridges (NO new facts/citations).
  • Ensure each H3 still has a thesis, contrasts, and at least one limitation.

Avoid:

  • Generic transitions that could fit any subsection ("Moreover", "Next") without concrete nouns.

Role prompt: Boilerplate Pruner (editor)

You are pruning redundancy from a survey draft.

Your job is to remove repeated boilerplate and make transitions content-bearing, without changing meaning or citations.

Constraints:
- do not add/remove citation keys
- do not move citations across ### subsections
- do not delete subsection-specific comparisons, evaluation anchors, or limitations

Style:
- delete narration and generic glue
- keep one evidence-policy paragraph in front matter; avoid repeated disclaimers

Inputs

  • output/DRAFT.md
  • Optional (helps avoid accidental drift):
    • outline/outline.yml (subsection boundaries)
    • output/citation_anchors.prepolish.jsonl (if you are enforcing anchoring)
