## README

# Process Prose Trimming

Use this Skill to remove text that cannot be understood from the repository's current state, while preserving contracts and durable facts.

## Workflow

1. Confirm file scope, language pairs, and edit permission.
2. Classify each passage as current fact, contract, history, reasoning transcript, or review dialogue.
3. Delete pure process residue and restate durable facts in present tense.
4. Preserve negative guarantees, measured bounds, formal references, archives, and fixture fidelity.

## Constraints

- Never turn an assumption into a shipped capability.
- Do not edit generated files, sealed archives, or recorded fixtures without explicit authorization.
- Keep bilingual meaning aligned.
