# devrites-prose-craft: prose that reads human Write for a teammate who will rely on the result. Remove model-shaped filler without sanding off the author's voice or weakening technical content. ## When this fires - A text-generating phase composes an artifact: `/rite-spec` (overview, rationale), `/rite-define` / `/rite-plan` (plan narrative), `/rite-temper` / `/rite-vet` (review prose), `/rite-review` / `/rite-seal` (findings + verdict prose), `/rite-ship` (commit/PR body), `devrites-doubt` / `rite-handoff` (notes). - Any phase composes a substantive **user-facing reply**. Deterministic progress footers are script-rendered and exact by design. - `/rite-polish` Phase 1 as the **catch** pass on prose that slipped through at write time. ## Two modes - **Rewrite (default).** When DevRites writes the artifact/reply or polishes it, fix the prose in place. - **Detect-only.** When auditing prose you shouldn't silently change, such as a user's existing `spec.md` at `/rite-adopt` or text under `/rite-review`, list the tells with quotes and leave the text untouched. Mirrors `devrites-audit`'s read-only stance. Order findings by severity: **P0** credibility-killers (vague attribution, a marketing adjective standing in for evidence, a false/unsourced claim) → **P1** obvious tells (negative parallelism, filler openers, em-dash tics) → **P2** polish (rhythm, word choice). A quick pass fixes P0 + P1 and stops; a full pass takes P2 too. ## Process 1. **Calibrate.** Choose
