01 / THE PURPOSE

A technical draft is more than its sentences.

Code samples, links, and structured content sit alongside prose. Article Agent combines writing workflows for Claude with local Python tools for cleaning text and finding passages that need a closer edit.

WHO IT’S FOR: Writers working with Markdown, code, and Claude.
THE CONSTRAINT: A replacement that helps a sentence can break a code sample. Prose edits need a boundary around technical content.

02 / THE DECISIONS

Edit the sentence. Keep the syntax.

The cleaner separates protected spans from prose before applying its editing rules. Mechanical cleanup and suggestions for deeper revision remain distinct parts of the workflow.

Separate the editable material
The cleaner puts code, link targets, front matter, and math into a temporary vault before applying prose rules. It restores those spans after the edits.
Leave the judgment with the writer
Local rules handle mechanical cleanup. Structural patterns become suggestions for revision, while the writing workflow ends with a draft for the author to review.

03 / THE IMPLEMENTATION

Hide. Edit. Restore.

The sequence is the design decision. Prose passes work on masked text, then the saved technical spans return to the document.

skills/art-human/clean.pyPython

vault = Vault()
masked = vault.hide(text)

masked, e = stage_glyphs(masked, pat); edits += e
masked, e = stage_diction(masked, pat); edits += e
masked, e = stage_tidy(masked);         edits += e

restored = vault.show(masked).strip() + "\n"
return Outcome(restored, edits, find_shapes(restored, pat))

From the implementationExplore this source

Before editing: The vault masks technical spans so prose substitutions cannot rewrite their contents.
After editing: The original spans are restored. Structural findings become advice for human revision.

04 / WHERE IT STANDS

Open source · v1.0.0

Open source, from workflow to cleaner.

The v1.0.0 toolkit includes Claude writing skills, local Python utilities, regression-test source, and installation documentation. Start with a copy of a draft and review the changes before accepting them.

KEEP IN MIND

The writing workflows need Claude; local cleanup uses Python. A whole-document pass removes invisible characters, including inside code.

The recorded example uses revision 14e5cd9. Its source and pattern hashes, input, output, and edit list are included in the downloadable record. The local run was reproduced on 19 September 2026 and matched the stored result; Python does not execute in this page.

Invisible-character removal happens before masking and can change technical spans. The later prose-editing passes protect the masked material, rather than guaranteeing byte-for-byte preservation of the original file.

The full recorded sample preserved its inline code, fenced code, front matter, and link target. This is one example, not a general guarantee. The scoring tools use local heuristics, not a validated writing-quality metric or authorship detector.
