SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you detect and fix English prose rhythm problems by applying a controlled, evidence-based notion of meter instead of relying on vague impressions of “flow.”

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Objective rhythm review: Uses English prosody terms (stress, feet, iamb/trochee/anapest/dactyl, line, caesura) to decide whether the passage’s meter supports harmony.
  • Boundary-respecting analysis: Preserves supplied examples exactly in Preserve mode and avoids inventing source quotations.
  • Two review modes: Supports a “strong model” preserve-and-judge workflow and a “weak passage” weak/fault/better repair workflow.

Quick Start

Use oiticica-meter to review a paragraph for rhythm problems and produce a corrected version with an objective rubric.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check English prose rhythm objectively instead of relying on feel?

To check prose rhythm objectively, apply scansion to identify stress patterns and feet like iambs or dactyls, then verify cadence against a pass/fail rubric to ensure the meter supports harmony.

What is scansion and how does it fix cadence issues in drafted sentences?

Scansion is the analysis of English prosody that marks stress and feet within lines to detect rhythm flaws, allowing you to tighten cadence by applying minimal meter corrections to improve harmony.

How do I revise a paragraph for rhythm problems using English prosody?

Revise a paragraph for rhythm problems by scanning the text for caesura and stress patterns, diagnosing flaws against an objective rubric, and applying minimal meter adjustments while preserving your original wording.

Can I analyze prose rhythm without altering my original example text?

Yes, you can analyze prose rhythm without altering original text by using a preserve mode that strictly judges scansion and meter while keeping your supplied examples exactly as written.

What is the best way to tighten prose cadence without imposing a strict meter?

The best way to tighten prose cadence without imposing a strict meter is to use an objective rubric that diagnoses specific rhythm flaws and suggests minimal repairs rather than forcing a rigid metrical structure.

When should I avoid using a scansion rubric for prose revision?

You should avoid using a scansion rubric for prose revision when dealing with text outside English prosody rules, as the objective meter analysis is specifically designed for English stress patterns and feet.
