natural-recreate

Extract the facts, audience, and intent from the source into a prose-free list, plan a new outline, then draft fresh text without looking at the original phrasing. Verify afterward with a fact check and abbreviated review to confirm nothing was invented or lost.

Choose a full rewrite when defects are structural and span most of the piece, the document shape is wrong, or a review verdict says recreate. A common heuristic is that if more than 60 percent of sentences would change, recreating is cheaper than refactoring.

Build an extraction list first containing every fact from the source, quoting ambiguous items, and flag missing information as TODOs for the user. After drafting, run a side-by-side fact check confirming each source fact appears in the rewrite and nothing was invented.

Yes, but fiction extraction captures plot events and character wants rather than dialogue phrasing. A new architecture sheet covering protagonist want, obstacle, turning point, and resolution mode is mandatory when the original structure failed.

A recreate loop should run at most once; if a follow-up refactor pass still leaves defect clusters, stop and report to the user instead of rewriting again. It also cannot fill factual gaps on its own, since inventing missing facts is explicitly prohibited.
