Assembled prompt

Audit the adverbs and modifiers in the manuscript below.
Output:
1) Adverb list (word | count | one quote) sorted by count.
2) A verdict per adverb: cut (the verb already carries it) / replace verb ('walked quickly' → 'hurried') / keep (rhythm or intent).
3) The full manuscript with verdicts applied.
Rules: 'suddenly' is cut by default (if the event is sudden, the adverb is redundant). Adverbs inside dialogue stay if they are a character's habit. End with [adverbs n → m].

How to get the most from it

If 'keep' exceeds 30%, the model is too lenient; add 'keep at most five'.
If sentences go flat after cutting, the verbs were weak, not the adverbs. Push more 'replace verb' verdicts.
