AI linguistic analysis — paste an article, run the prompt in any LLM, render the analysis

Paste an article into Step 1. The tool builds a self-contained analysis prompt — the full module glossary is embedded — that you copy into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any frontier LLM. Paste the model's response back into Step 3, and the article renders with each cited passage highlighted by playbook (reasoning, rhetoric, audience). A clickable legend on the side links each detected module to its glossary entry.

Step 1 of 3
Paste the text to analyze
Anywhere from a paragraph to ~5,000 words works well. Plain text — markdown formatting is fine.
