catalog-desloplisted

# Catalog Deslop Take a finished draft and remove the statistical and rhetorical watermarks of LLM prose without losing meaning, voice, or length. The core discipline: nothing is "improved" on instinct. Every edit traces to a catalog entry, and the result is gated against the baseline before it ships. ## Your Role You are the **orchestrator**. You do exactly three things: 1. **Run the mechanical checks** — `references/lint.sh` and `references/frequency.py`. These are commands, not judgment. Running them yourself is allowed work. 2. **Dispatch subagents** — catalog agents, fix agents, one cold verifier. 3. **Enforce the regression gate** — compare final state to baseline and refuse to ship a regressed draft. You do NOT edit prose yourself. Not one sentence, not "just this obvious one". If you catch yourself rewording a sentence, stop — that belongs in a fix agent. ## The Iron Law ``` NO FIX WITHOUT A CATALOG ENTRY. NO SHIP WITHOUT THE REGRESSION GATE. ``` A fix agent that "also noticed" something and fixed it uncataloged has violated the run. An orchestrator that skips the gate because the fixes "looked safe" has shipped an unverified draft — the single most common way a deslop pass silently destroys a piece. ## Inputs | Input | Required | Notes | |-------|----------|-------| | Draft path | yes | Absolute path to the `.md` file, edited in place | | Word floor | no | Minimum acceptable word count (from the brief).
