Lektorat Auto-Revise

Operationalises spec/project/lektorat-auto-revise/ for the nolte-shared plugin: the autonomous bridge from an existing lektorat audit findings report to a finished, re-verified artefact. It consumes the audit, routes each affected artefact to the author best suited to its type, composes a per-file briefing, lets that author revise, and re-audits until the artefact converges.

This skill binds the spec's contract to an on-disk procedure. It owns no editorial rules of its own — severities, dimensions, scope, audience binding, and semantic-preservation guarantees belong to spec/project/lektorat/; the writing-style and audience rules belong to the dispatched author's bound specs. When this skill and a spec disagree, the spec wins and this skill needs the update.

German trigger phrases

This skill also triggers on equivalent German-language requests, including:

• "arbeite das Lektorat-Audit automatisch ab"
• "lass den passenden Author die Findings abarbeiten"
• "vollautomatische Lektorats-Remediation"
• "revidiere die Audit-Findings automatisch"

User-language policy

Detect the user's language from their message and respond in it. The machine-readable JSON output uses English keys (mirroring spec/project/lektorat/ §Outputs); the human-readable summary.md uses English section headings so downstream tooling can parse it; prose around the report is localised.

Why this is a skill, not an agent

• The blog route's interactive touchpoint is load-bearing: blog-author is an interactive skill whose briefing inputs (topic-as-thesis, source list, slug, cross-language binding key) can't be reconstructed from findings; surfacing that dialogue back to the operator only fits a skill.
• Externally visible writes: outputs land under .audits/lektorat-auto-revise/<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM>/ and the dispatched author edits in-scope artefacts in place; the skill owns the persistent on-disk state.
• Orchestration role: the skill dispatches the audience-doc-author agent and the blog-author skill, re-runs the lektorat audit for the convergence gate, and stays in the main thread to compose briefings, run the assisted-blog dialogue, and write outputs.
• Counter-dimension considered: the documentation route alone is fire-and-forget and would fit an agent, but consolidating both routes plus the convergence loop behind one entry point keeps the operator's mental model coherent and is where the load-bearing interactivity lives.

Inputs

• Audit report (required): a path to an existing .audits/lektorat/<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM>/findings.json, or a directive to run a fresh lektorat-apply audit first and consume its output. The report's shape is spec/project/lektorat/ §Outputs; consume it verbatim and never add, drop, or rename a field.
• Severity floor (optional): inherited from the input run; defaults to addressing every critical and warning finding. A caller may narrow to critical for a de-noised pass.
• Audience-artefact path (optional): resolved through the same priority chain as lektorat §Audience binding; a missing artefact stops per-file remediation with the message pointing at audience-identify.

Procedure

Run the steps in order. Each maps to a requirement block in the spec; consult the spec for the authoritative rules rather than relying on this summary.

1. Resolve the audit report (§Input contract). Load the findings.json. Process only the findings array. For any file named in an inventory_findings entry, do not dispatch an author — surface the infrastructure condition to the operator instead.
2. Group findings by file so each artefact is handled once with the full set of its findings.
3. Route each file (§Artefact-type routing) into exactly one class before any dispatch:
   • documentation (MkDocs page under docs/<lang>/, top-level Markdown, or a GitHub Release/Issue/PR body) → audience-doc-author agent.
   • blog-post (carries the consumer's cross-language binding key, e.g. translationKey, in its frontmatter) → blog-author skill.
   • rejected (any path lektorat §Scope and applicability excludes — spec/, skills/**/SKILL.md, skills/**/templates/**, skills/**/examples/**, agents/*.md, source, generated config) → hard-reject with a one-sentence message naming the owning flow; dispatch no author.
   • A file matching none of the three classes stops the whole run with an operator-facing message; never silently skip it.
4. Compose the briefing per file (§Author briefing composition): the file's findings verbatim, the resolved audience set (via the lektorat priority chain, no other rule), the bound writing-style spec(s), and the target D1–D6 dimensions. For any file with a D1 readability finding, also pass the LIX target inputs per spec/project/readability-lix/ §Iterative improvement loop: the current lix, the resolved corridor (aim/warn/crit for the file's content_mode and language), and the dominant lever (ASL or LWP), so the author's pass targets the right readability lever. Never dispatch an author without both a resolved audience set and a bound writing-style spec — a missing either is a per-file stop condition.
5. Dispatch the matching author (§Autonomy and human touchpoints):
   • Documentation → dispatch audience-doc-author fully autonomously (no per-finding approval, no diff gate). Pass the audience-artefact path, the doc-type spec, the prose-style baseline, and the file under revision.
   • Blog → run assisted: surface the findings-derived briefing to blog-author and let its briefing touchpoint stand. Never fabricate the briefing inputs it requires.
   • Never rewrite prose in this skill; the rewrite is always the author's.
6. Re-audit convergence gate (§Re-audit convergence gate). After each author pass, re-run the lektorat audit on the revised artefact with the same configuration. A file is converged only when it has no remaining finding at or above the severity floor and its post-revision finding count is ≤ its pre-revision count. A D1 readability finding converges only when the re-audit shows LIX at or below the file's warn corridor (readability-lix §Iterative improvement loop); a LIX drop achieved by a forbidden transformation (decompounding an established term, vaguer-shorter swaps, altering a protected term) is a semantic-preservation failure, not convergence. On non-convergence, re-dispatch the author with the residual findings up to 2 author passes per file, then escalate the residual to the operator — never loop further. Flag any regression (post-count higher than pre-count, or a risen LIX) and never auto-accept it as converged. Treat any semantic-preservation violation (§Semantic preservation) as a failed pass.
7. Write the run trail (§Outputs) under .audits/lektorat-auto-revise/<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM>/: routing.json, run.json (referencing the source audit run), per-file rewrite diffs with pre/post counts and pass count, and summary.md. List escalated and regressed files first in summary.md so unremediated findings can't be overlooked.

Hard rules

• Never define, re-classify, or re-weight findings, severities, or dimensions; consume the lektorat report verbatim. The rules live in the spec, not here.
• Never dispatch an author without both a resolved audience set and a bound writing-style spec. "No audience" and "no style spec" are stop conditions, not soft defaults.
• Never rewrite prose in this skill — every rewrite is delegated to the routed author, so the author's audience and writing-style competence applies.
• Never run the documentation route with a human gate, and never run the blog route without blog-author's briefing touchpoint.
• Never mark a file converged while it has a finding at or above the severity floor or a regression; never loop past 2 author passes — escalate instead.
• Never route or dispatch an author at a rejected-class path; never widen the routing table to a class lektorat forbids.
• Never silently skip an unroutable file or truncate unremediated findings — stop the run or escalate, and record it.

Gotchas

Per spec/claude/skill-management/ §Gotchas: concrete corrections to non-obvious environment facts the executing agent would otherwise get wrong.

• Finding IDs aren't stable across a rewrite, so convergence is judged by count and severity — never by ID diff. The findings.json id is a hash of file + dimension + line; once an author rewrite shifts line numbers, the re-audit re-keys every finding. Compare the re-audit's per-file finding count and highest severity against the pre-revision snapshot; matching IDs across passes will spuriously miss both regressions and fixes.
• A lower LIX number is not automatically convergence. A D1 readability finding converges only when the re-audit shows LIX at or below the file's warn corridor (spec/project/readability-lix/ §Iterative improvement loop) and the drop was earned by a permitted transformation. A LIX reduction achieved by decompounding an established term, a vaguer-but-shorter swap, or altering a protected term is a semantic-preservation failure — treat it as a failed pass, not a win.
• Routing is decided by frontmatter and path, not by reading the prose. A blog post is identified by the consumer's cross-language binding key (e.g. translationKey) in its frontmatter, not by living under docs/; a file under docs/<lang>/ without that key is documentation. Misrouting a blog post to the autonomous audience-doc-author route skips blog-author's load-bearing briefing touchpoint (topic-as-thesis, source list, slug), which can't be reconstructed from findings.

Examples

• Read examples/01-documentation-route-autonomous.md when a docs/<lang>/ page with a D1 readability finding routes to the audience-doc-author agent fully autonomously and converges on the LIX corridor.
• Read examples/02-blog-route-assisted.md when a file carrying the cross-language binding key routes to the blog-author skill and runs assisted, preserving its briefing touchpoint.
• Read examples/03-rejected-path-and-escalation.md when a finding sits at a rejected-class path (e.g. spec/) or a file fails to converge within 2 passes and must be escalated and surfaced first in summary.md.

Resumability

Per spec/claude/resumable-work/, this skill is resumable: true. State is persisted to .resume/lektorat-auto-revise/<run-id>.yml after every successful per-file convergence and after each named phase boundary. On re-invocation, scan that directory for files with status: in_progress whose inputs: snapshot matches the current invocation; if one matches, prompt the operator with Resume run <run_id> from phase <phase> (last checkpoint <last_checkpoint_at>)? [resume / start-new / discard]. The state-file envelope and fail-closed semantics on schema or YAML errors are defined in the spec; don't duplicate them here.
