lensback940701/Evidence-Bound-Press-Conference-Revision-Skill
An evidence-bound academic revision skill for social science research. It reduces defensive prose without weakening scholarly caution, foregrounds core contributions, compresses repetitive qualifications and process narration, and preserves claim ceilings, evidence status, scope, boundaries, and rival explanations for auditable, traceable revision.

When your agent uses it
Diagnose and revise defensive academic writing while preserving claim ceilings, evidence status, scope conditions, rival explanations, and conceptual hierarchy. Use for a whole-manuscript batch audit or a tightly authorized, tracked-change revision when an academic paper hides its contribution beneath self-defence, repeated caveats, process narration, or unnecessary comparisons; especially when a qualitative, historical, or mixed-method manuscript must become contribution-forward without becoming promotional or overclaimed. Do not use for first drafting, new research, citation repair, evidence admission, grammar-only polishing, or making claims sound stronger than the evidence permits.

The playbook
- Non-negotiable distinction
- Required inputs and authority order
- Phase 0 — create a contribution-and-scope contract
- Phase 1 — batch diagnostic (read-only)
- Phase 2 — concentrated revision (only with authority)
- Phase 3 — whole-manuscript regression
- Dalian Urban Geography special gate
- Deliverables and stop rules

# Evidence-Bound Press-Conference Revision
Treat a paper as a clear academic presentation of its best supported contribution, not as a work log or a self-audit. Reframe defensiveness; never remove the information that lets readers judge what the evidence supports.
## Non-negotiable distinction
Do not treat a cue word as a verdict. The target is **rhetorical defensiveness**, not scholarly caution.
- Cut, compress, or reframe self-deprecation, anticipatory answers to objections the manuscript has not invited, redundant hedge stacks, process-log narration, and negative judgments broader than the evidence.
- Keep or relocate a real scope condition, source-status distinction, rival explanation, contradiction, negative finding, ethical caveat, or method limitation whenever it changes how the claim must be read.
- When uncertain, retain the wording and register a query. Do not convert possible to certain, report to observation, authorization to delivery, sequence to mechanism, or a bounded case result to a general law.
Read `references/triage-and-regression.md` before classifying candidates. For the Dalian *Urban Geography* manuscript, also read `references/urban-geography-guardrails.md` before any diagnosis or revision.
