Capel Fit

Normalize and fit text to a strict character limit and target band using deterministic scripts. Use this utility skill for per-entry CAPEL length control in Admin Profiles and qualification answers. Use when this capability is needed.

Purpose

This skill provides deterministic, post-generation character counting and adjustment utilities. It is the second half of the CAPEL length control system:

Internal CAPEL (LLM-side): During drafting, the LLM uses a word budget countdown to approximate the target length. This technique is defined in apex-guardrails under "Internal CAPEL Generation Technique."
capel-fit scripts (this skill): After the LLM finishes drafting, these Python scripts validate the exact character count and apply deterministic compression or expansion to fit the text within the target band. Scripts guarantee precise counts and reproducible behavior.

Generation skills should: "Draft using internal CAPEL word budget, then validate with capel-fit scripts."

Inputs

Provide:

CHAR_LIMIT: maximum characters allowed (with spaces).
TARGET_LOW: lower bound of the desired character band.
TARGET_HIGH: upper bound of the band (≤ CHAR_LIMIT).
WORD_TARGET (optional): internal word budget hint.
The text to be fitted (via stdin).

Default behavior

Run the scripts to normalize punctuation and whitespace, count characters and, if needed, apply conservative compression or expansion heuristics. The scripts aim to fit the text within the target band and never exceed the character limit. They use placeholders to expand under‑length text when needed.

Scripts

This skill includes a scripts/ directory with:

normalize_text.py: converts fancy punctuation to ASCII, collapses whitespace and strips leading/trailing spaces.
charcount.py: counts characters (with spaces) after optional normalization.
fit_entry.py: validates and optionally auto‑adjusts text to fit the specified limits. In auto mode, it applies conservative compression (phrase replacements, filler word removal) or expansion (adding placeholders) until the text fits.

Usage

Invoke this skill when a text block must be fitted to strict character limits, such as Admin Profile entries or qualification answers. After manual drafting in another skill, call capel-fit to validate and adjust the text. Do not use it to generate new substantive content.
