Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic Shorten/Expand: Apply controlled strategies to shorten by deleting redundancy or expand by adding justified, non-speculative detail.
  • Strict Safety Guardrails: Prohibits changing values, references/citations, LaTeX commands/environments, table cells, and core claims.
  • Verification-Ready Output: Produces revised text plus structured change metadata and an internal self-check checklist for semantic consistency.

Quick Start
