revision-escalation

revision-escalation is a skill for Claude Code from yha9806/academic-writing-toolkit. It costs 68 tokens per session (964 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A revision-control guide for writing, coding, manuscripts, rebuttals, and restructuring work. It says to stop applying local edits after the same problem remains unresolved through three attempts and check the underlying requirements or structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when something is still wrong, unclear, weak, or increasingly messy after several revisions, especially when the real issue may be scope, structure, evidence, or version choice.
Why use it?
It prevents repeated patches from making a draft or codebase more inconsistent when feedback is vague or versions and evidence have drifted.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

revision-escalation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/revision-escalation - 3-Strike Revision Control

Purpose

Prevent repeated local patches from making a draft or code path more inconsistent. Use this when the issue may no longer be wording or implementation detail, but specification, structure, evidence, or version-control drift.

Trigger Words

This skill activates on: revision escalation, 3-strike, three strikes, stop and diagnose, still wrong, still weird, unclear, weak, 越改越乱, 还是不对, 还是怪, 不够清楚, 逻辑还是混乱, /revision-escalation.

Core Rule

If the same issue remains unresolved after 3 revision attempts, treat it as a specification or structure problem before treating it as another local editing task.

Do not make a fourth patch immediately.

Repeated feedback that the manuscript is becoming more abstract, no longer states who it helps, or contains individually correct sentences without a recognisable paper spine is a structural signal even when fewer than three formal edit contracts have failed. Pause and compare the current draft with the author-intent and argument baselines.

Revision Escalation Check

Before editing again, classify the problem:

Category Meaning Next action
Underspecified request Target, constraint, audience, venue, or expected output is missing. Ask for a concrete target before editing.
Ambiguous feedback Feedback is evaluative but not operational: "weird", "weak", "unclear", "not good enough". Ask what should change.
Local execution problem The goal is clear, but the previous patch implemented it incorrectly. Make one small targeted patch.
Structural mismatch The issue affects the real-world problem, intended use, research object, research question, primary experiment, gap, contribution, evidence chain, section structure, module boundary, or venue framing. Propose a restructure plan before editing.
Evidence gap The desired claim is unsupported by available data, experiments, citations, or files. Downgrade the claim or request evidence.
Version contamination Repeated patches have mixed old assumptions with new requirements, causing inconsistency, duplication, or bloat. Recommend a new version, branch, or consolidated brief.
