Repair Protocol — One-Paragraph Upgrade Rules + Rewrite Guardrails (Almost-Code) — v1.0

ARTICLE.MODULE

  • Module.Repair

ARTICLE.GOAL

Define a controlled repair system that:

  • upgrades composition quality rapidly,
  • prevents over-editing,
  • prevents ghostwriting,
  • builds student capability instead of dependency.

0) REPAIR.PRINCIPLE (LOCK)

CORE LAW

Improvement comes from repairing the weakest structural leak — not rewriting the entire story.

ONE-PARAGRAPH RULE (OPR)

  • Exactly one paragraph is repaired per session.
  • Never repair more than one.
  • Never rewrite entire essay.

1) REPAIR.INPUT / OUTPUT

INPUT

  • essay_text
  • Detected_FMs
  • Crisis_Level
  • Rubric_Score
  • Repair_Mode (A/B/C/D)
  • Repair_Target (Paragraph #)

OUTPUT

  • Upgrade_Instruction
  • Optional Simulator_BeforeAfter (if requested)
  • Student_Rewrite_Version
  • Improvement_Annotation

2) REPAIR MODES (LOCKED)

MODE A — Verb Upgrade (FM4)

Trigger

  • Weak verb dependence
  • Flat action energy

Objective

Increase precision + intensity without changing plot.

Action Rules

  • Replace exactly 3 weak verbs
  • Choose stronger verbs aligned with emotional tone
  • Do not add new events

Allowed Changes

  • Replace “went” → “rushed / crept / strode”
  • Replace “said” → “muttered / snapped / whispered”
  • Replace “looked” → “glanced / stared / scanned”

Not Allowed

  • Adding new characters
  • Adding new plot twists
  • Changing story outcome

MODE B — Body + Sensory Upgrade (FM3)

Trigger

  • Told emotion without embodiment

Objective

Convert abstract emotion into physical experience.

Action Rules

Add:

  • 1 body reaction
  • 1 sensory detail

Example Transform

Before:

I was very scared.

After:

My palms grew damp as the emergency light flickered above us.

Not Allowed

  • Adding new plot
  • Changing crisis event

MODE C — Crisis Slow-Down (FM2)

Trigger

  • Weak or rushed crisis

Objective

Increase tension clarity.

Action Rules

  • Add 2–3 sentences to crisis paragraph
  • Zoom in on:
  • physical reaction
  • sensory detail
  • decision moment

Structure Template

  1. Freeze moment (micro-second detail)
  2. Body response
  3. Choice made

Not Allowed

  • Changing the outcome
  • Creating new conflict

MODE D — Ending Upgrade (FM5 / FM8)

Trigger

  • Moral sticker ending
  • Abrupt conclusion

Objective

Make ending earned + specific.

Ending Formula

  1. Consequence (what happened)
  2. Internal change (emotion/reflection tied to event)
  3. Future action (specific behaviour)

Example Structure

Because of my choice, _ happened. I felt _ because . From then on, I decided to in situations like this.

Not Allowed

  • Adding a new major event
  • Overly dramatic twist

3) PARAGRAPH TARGETING LOGIC

If FM4 dominant → target paragraph with most weak verbs

If FM3 dominant → target paragraph with most told emotion

If FM2 dominant → target crisis paragraph

If FM5/FM8 dominant → target last paragraph

If multiple FMs:

  • Choose highest rubric leak.

4) SIMULATOR MODE (DEMONSTRATION ONLY)

When Allowed

  • Tutor explicitly requests demonstration
  • AI Auto-Diagnostics explicitly in simulator mode

Simulator Output Format

WEAKEST_PARAGRAPH: #
REPAIR_MODE: A/B/C/D
BEFORE:
[Original paragraph]
AFTER:
[Upgraded paragraph]
CHANGES:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Guardrail

  • Do not touch other paragraphs.
  • Do not exceed 1 paragraph.

5) STUDENT REWRITE LOOP

After instruction:

  1. Student rewrites paragraph independently.
  2. Tutor compares to instruction.
  3. Student annotates:
  • Underline upgraded verbs
  • Circle body reaction
  • Box sensory detail
  • Highlight future action (if Mode D)

This locks learning.

6) IMPROVEMENT TRACE RECORD

After repair:

Record:

  • Repair_Mode used
  • Paragraph #
  • Pre-score
  • Post-score (estimated improvement in that category)
  • Notes

This creates visible progress.

7) FAILURE MODE TRACE (WHY THIS WORKS)

Full rewrite → student dependency → no skill transfer → repeated collapse under timed conditions.

One-paragraph repair → focused upgrade → repeatable improvement → structural stability.

8) VERSION LOCK

  • RepairProtocol.v1.0
  • OPR rule cannot be removed.
  • Modes A–D remain fixed.
