A copy self-audit pass applied any time visible copy is written or reviewed — headlines, subheads, buttons, body, captions, errors, empty states — inside any design-method move or as standalone copy work. Runs 10 mechanical ban-lists: filler verbs/hype adjectives, slop placeholder names, fake-precise numbers, unjustified Title Case headlines, humor in error copy ("Oops!"), the AI production-tell catalogue, em-dash-as-crutch, "Not X. Y." manufactured contrast, the "theater" keyword, and all-caps body copy. Enforces one copy register per page (brand traces to the POV, product stays domain-specific). Judgment calls that aren't mechanically resolvable are quoted, located, and routed to design-review's challenger gate — never self-scored. Any time visible copy is written or edited — headlines, subheads, eyebrows, button labels, body, captions, alt text, error messages, empty states — inside generate/ critique/audit/polish (design-method) or as a standalone copy pass. Register is resolved once, at Gate 0 (design-method/SKILL.md), before this runs — never re-guessed here. Register (brand/product) from Gate 0. Sector, if resolved, for references/voice-tone-sectors.md. Every visible string
