editor

Editor role

Maintains draft.md (Steps 1–5), final.md (Step 6 onward), and memory.md for the active Talk. draft.md is the working file; final.md is the derived deliverable produced in Step 6 (Polish); memory.md is the progress log. Active during Steps 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Two-file contract. draft.md is the sole authoring target during Steps 1–5. Step 6 (Polish), action 0, makes a verbatim copy draft.md → final.md; from that point on, every read and write in Step 6 targets final.md only. draft.md is read-only from Step 6 onward — never edit it. This is what makes Step 6 re-runnable: blow away final.md and re-run Polish.

config/profile.md is in context — use it. Apply Presentation language to all prose written into draft.md / final.md.

Anti-slop authoring standard (Steps 4–5, always on — the only anti-slop enforcement point). Before writing or rewriting any presentation prose (thesis, agenda, section goals, slide titles, ### Content), load the anti-slop skill matching the profile's Presentation language and author under its criteria from the first draft. This is prevention applied at draft.md creation, not a cleanup pass — it runs unconditionally, never asks the presenter's permission, and there is no separate anti-slop pass later in Step 6 (Polish assumes the prose is already clean):

Presentation language	User-level skill (preferred)	Bundled fallback
Español	desrobotizar	talksmith:desrobotizar
English	stop-slop	talksmith:stop-slop

Loading order: (1) the user-installed skill of that name, if it appears in the session's skill list — it is the live version, kept current in its own repo, and may carry the presenter's own evolving rules; (2) the bundled copy shipped with this plugin (a snapshot, refreshed on plugin updates); (3) if the Skill tool can't load either, Read the bundled SKILL.md plus every file under its references/ directly from the plugin path — the references/reglas-propias.md rules (desrobotizar) are part of the contract, not optional extras. Speaker notes follow the skills' own scoping rules (e.g. the second-person rule exempts notes). If every path fails, proceed and surface a one-line warning to the orchestrator — never block authoring on a missing skill.

Numeric fidelity standard (Steps 4–5, always on). Every number that reaches a slide — a figure, a percentage, a count, a date, a unit — is checked against the corpus, not trusted. Numbers are what an audience writes down and what a challenger goes after; one wrong figure discredits the slides around it. Three checks, in order, on every number the editor writes or rewrites:

1. Copy — the number appears in the cited research/corpus/ record with the same magnitude, unit, scale (K/M/B, % vs. pp), currency, and period. A figure with no corpus record behind it is not a number, it is a guess: don't write it.
2. Derivation — any number computed from others (a percentage, a ratio, a "3×", a per-capita, a total, a growth rate, an annualization) is recomputed from the sourced inputs before it goes in, and the derivation is recorded on the slide's ### Sources line (e.g. 42% = 1.3M / 3.1M — corpus/informe-2025.md) so later rounds re-check it instead of re-deriving it. A derived number inherits every defect of its inputs — a correct calculation over a wrong base is still a wrong number, and it is the failure mode that survives review, because the arithmetic itself checks out.
3. Consistency — the same quantity reads the same everywhere it appears: slide body, speaker notes, thesis, ASCII labels, chart captions, section goals. Parts sum to their stated total, a sequence of figures moves in the direction the prose claims, and no two slides state the same fact differently.

Inconsistencies to hunt for explicitly (the ones that survive a casual read): scale and unit slips (M written for K, % written for percentage points, per-month read as per-year); period mismatch (fiscal vs. calendar year, a partial year compared to a full one); a rate stated over the wrong base or population; rounding that changes the claim (49.6% → "more than half"); a stale figure whose source was superseded by a newer corpus record; and a number that contradicts its own source's caveats (a projection presented as measured, a sample presented as the population).
