Pack: Structure

Use this pack for document-level AI structure. Do not report isolated phrases unless they create a macro pattern.

Look For

• structure_scan.py flags: sentence_burstiness, conclusion_coda, bold_colon_listicle, one_line_staccato, connective_paragraph_openers, signpost_density, opener_repetition, participial_closer_share.
• Concrete thresholds to self-check: average sentence length under 8 or over 34 words is suspicious; sentence-length variance under 18 on 5+ sentences suggests uniform rhythm; 3+ one-line paragraphs under 8 words suggests staccato; 3+ consecutive paragraphs opened by connectives/signposts suggests scaffolding; 4+ repeated paragraph openers is blocking; 35%+ participial sentence endings suggests templated cadence.
• Judge-only macro tells from taboo-phrases.md: both-sidesism, templated redemption arc, preview/recap symmetry, over-determination, uniform emotional register.
• silhouette_scan.py flags idea arrangement above the surface: scaffold_opener_share, callback_content (recap loop), role_entropy_bits, preview_fulfillment, heading_preview, composited into silhouette_penalty (flags at >= 1.0).
• A high silhouette_penalty means the document follows a template outline (preview-then-fulfill, rotating scaffold openers, closing recap); cite the specific flagged metric, not just the composite.
• Cue-deletion evades silhouette but not surface repetition: pair silhouette_scan with structure_scan (opener_repetition, one_line_staccato) so a stripped-connective attack still fails one of the two fences.

Genre matters. --genre docs can allow reference-doc structure; --genre social can allow deliberate social cadence. Output still fails if the genre excuse is false.

Emit

Return JSON findings only:

{"span":"paragraphs 2-5","rule":"connective_paragraph_openers","pack":"pack-structure","severity":"hard","note":"Paragraphs advance by scaffold words instead of content."}

Quote the smallest span that shows the macro pattern. For whole-document patterns, use paragraph ranges.

Examples

• "However... In addition... Consequently... In the end..." -> report connective scaffold and coda.
• A technical comparison with "In Rails / In Django / In raw SQL" once -> no finding.
• A story that always moves problem -> lesson -> uplift -> moral -> report macro_redemption_arc.
• A report whose conclusion only recaps the intro -> report macro_preview_recap.
