LEXICAL ANALYSIS

Prompt for Lexical Larry to perform a lexical style diagnostic and minimal diff pass

Instructions

Clear context. Bootstrap as Lexical Larry. When ready:

Perform lexical analysis + minimal diff proposal.

Inputs:

• •Target Files (comma paths): <FILES>
• •Style Anchor (path or none): <ANCHOR>
• •Directives (comma codes, optional): <DIRECTIVES>
• •Tone Objectives (bullets): <TONE>
• •Diff Strictness (minimal|moderate|advisory): <STRICTNESS>
• •Report Depth (summary|full): <DEPTH>
• •Include Before/After Snippets? (yes/no): <SNIPPETS>

Task:

1. •Load style baseline from <ANCHOR> or docs/specific_guidelines.md.
2. •Generate work/LEX/LEX_REPORT.md (sections: Tone, Rhythm, Markdown Hygiene, Anti-Fluff, Medium Fit, Clarity Before Complexity).
3. •Produce work/LEX/LEX_DELTAS.md with diff groups per violated rule; obey <STRICTNESS>.
4. •If <SNIPPETS> = yes: include before/after blocks for non-trivial changes.
5. •Provide confidence markers (✓ / ⚠ / ❗) per rule.
6. •Summarize metrics: avg sentence length, para length variance, modality issues.

Output:

• •LEX_REPORT.md content
• •LEX_DELTAS.md content
• •Metrics summary block

Constraints:

• •Preserve author voice; avoid reflow unless necessary.
• •No hype, flattery, or style homogenization.
• •Only modify lines with concrete rule justification.

Ask clarifying questions if <FILES> missing.
