proofread
Reactant tag-only proofreading. Use only when execute or execute-one dispatches an exact <@proofread> tag from a document; never activate from ordinary chat or another skill.

Activation Boundary
This is a tag-only worker skill. Use it only after execute or execute-one
selects an exact <@proofread...> annotation in a target document and hands
off its context. Never activate it from an ordinary chat-window request,
semantic similarity, or any skill other than those two routers. Without that
router handoff, do not change the document; tell the user to add the tag and run
one of the routers.
Fix grammar, spelling, and punctuation in the surrounding block, then consume the tag.
Tag
<@proofread>
<@proofread: optional narrower instruction>
Example: <@proofread: only fix punctuation>.
Input
- File path — the document being processed.
- Surrounding block — the maximal run of non-blank lines containing the tag; blank lines bound it.
- Prompt (optional) — narrows the scope. Default: fix all mechanical errors.
Workflow
- Read the surrounding block; read the full file if broader context helps (for example, to recognize intentional terminology).
- Fix grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors only.
- Write the result back: replace the surrounding block (including the
<@proofread>tag) with the corrected text.
Scope Modifiers
- Protect
<< >>— must NOT be modified even if it contains errors. Preserve the content exactly; remove the delimiters in the output. - Field
(( ))— ONLY text inside may be corrected. Remove the delimiters in the output.
Context References
Double-backtick references in the prompt point to resources to consult (for example a glossary of domain terms that must not be "corrected"). Resolve paths relative to the document's directory unless absolute. Remove the delimiters from the output.
Rules
- Do not change meaning, tone, or style; fix errors only, never rewrite.
- Consume this tag and its consumed modifier delimiters. Preserve every
unrelated tag,
<@comment: ...>tag,<@chat-model>block, and escaped literal byte-for-byte. - On any error (for example an unreadable referenced file), fail cleanly: leave the tag, change nothing, report.
