cascade-poetry

Cascade poetry generation

When to use

Poetry, song lyrics, haiku, micro-fiction, or any short literary form where the user supplies a topic + form constraint. Also use when the user asks "compose with the cascade" or "use PCE for this poem".

Workflow

1. Parse the user's topic into a plain prompt string (the brief / image / event).
2. Construct a one-line constraint_text that names the form and tone (e.g. "a 5-7-5 haiku about autumn rain, restrained voice").
3. Build optional must_avoid from concrete clichés the user wants to dodge.
4. Build optional aspects (2-4 short phrases naming axes of meaning the user wants present).
5. Call MCP tool pratyabhijna_mcp__cascade with K=6..8, max_tokens=64..96, render_mode="verbatim".
6. Read back surface, vimarsa_event, selected_idx, audit.delta_F, audit.ananda_scores.
7. If vimarsa_event = false and the user asked for an aspect-shift poem, retry with a slightly higher cit_temperature (1.1 → 1.3) and a larger K.

Output format

Return the surface text. If vimarsa_event = true, add a one-line italicised note saying which aspects were detected. Never return raw JSON to the user.

Anti-patterns

• Do not call the LM directly when this skill is active. Always go through cascade.
• Do not pass a long prompt unmodified - distill to ≤ 30 words.
• Do not invent aspects the user did not imply.
