    Buy a Mac app

    Point an AI at a slice

    Copy this into your AI. Change YourName to your name.

    # Start here

Copy this whole file into your AI.

You are helping finish public-domain Fathers texts in new English for https://fathers.saneapps.com.

Do not copy FOTC, ACW, ANF, NPNF, blogs, or other English. Translate from the locked Greek or Latin in https://github.com/sane-apps/translations

Clone that repo if you do not already have it. Then run:

```bash
python3 scripts/claims.py start --agent YourName
```

Replace YourName with a real name. That takes the next free slice and prints what to do. One slice only.

Then:

- Read the book’s `books/<slug>/SESSION_HANDOFF.md`.
- Translate only the sections on that claim.
- **Pass A:** literal gloss + lemmas in `reviews/justifications/<id>.json` (`pass_a_gloss`). Copy an existing file in that folder for the shape.
- **Pass B:** reading English in `translations/*_english.json` → `english[]`. Same meaning as A, in the author’s voice. Do not paste A as B.
- Title the thought, not the section number.
- Finish with `python3 scripts/ai_promote.py --claim <id> --agent YourName`
- Stop. Do not take a second slice. Do not deploy the website. Do not run Logos.

If there is no free slice, stop and say so.

    Spot-check the Greek or Latin

    If you read the original language and a line of English looks wrong, send a short note. Name the work, the section, and what you think it should say.
