Pushes a draft from abstract toward concrete at two scales. Noun-level (replaces "dog" with "German shepherd," "customer" with "Sarah at JPMorgan's options-trading desk," "many" with "47 of 100") and scene-level (turns "I was angry" into the body signal, room, and dialogue). Implements Kramon's "specific over abstract" rule, Kristof's "real names, real numbers, real interviews," and Lauren Weinstein's "could a director recreate this scene?" test. Use when a draft is technically correct but flat, when category nouns leak through, when stories tell instead of show, or when the user says "be specific," "show don't tell," "more vivid," "less abstract," "make it concrete," "find the colors." Pass --mode noun-level|scene-level|both (default both).
