# Structure Humanize
Style-level humanizing (removing cliché, purple prose, slop words) does NOT remove structural AI tells — detection drops less than 2 points after professional style editing (StoryScope, arXiv:2604.03136). This skill performs the structural rewrite that actually moves the needle. It is more invasive than a prose pass: it reorders scenes, adds subplots, and changes endings. Always present the diagnosis and get the user's approval of the revision map **before** rewriting anything.
## Procedure
### 1. Diagnose (read-only)
Score the draft against `_config/narrative_audit_rubric.md`, sections A–C, E, F (structural items). For each failed item record: item id, quoted evidence, severity. The highest-signal offenders, in order of detection weight:
1. **Theme explained** — narrator states the moral/lesson anywhere, especially chapter endings.
2. **No subplots** — single-track plot where every element serves the main arc.
3. **All-linear time** — no flashbacks, no delayed disclosure, no revelation that recontextualizes earlier scenes.
4. **Uniform resolutions** — every arc resolved by protagonist choice and/or quiet internal acceptance.
5. **Morally clean protagonist** — no choice a reader could reasonably condemn.
6. **No named references** — only vague allusions; nothing real or specifically named in-world.
7. **Flat escalation** — event intensity rises evenly to a tidy quiet ending; epilogue present by habit.
### 2. Propose a revision map
