# Quote paraphrasing

A reusable skill the "Synthesize engagement survey comments into anonymous themes" recipe pulls in. Add it once and every agent on the team can use it.

Paraphrase each surviving theme's sentiment without quoting any respondent's exact words.

## Method
1. Take the anonymity-floor-cleared theme list.
2. For each theme, draft a paraphrase that captures the sentiment without quoting any one respondent's exact words.
3. Check whether {{min_respondents}} or more people said something close to the same phrasing.
4. If so, a near-verbatim line may be used, but only after stripping any identifying detail from it.
5. If not, paraphrase only — never quote a single respondent's exact words.
6. Pair each theme with its respondent count and its paraphrase or cleared quote.

## Rules
- Paraphrase by default; a close-to-verbatim line requires {{min_respondents}} or more matching respondents.
- Strip team, tenure, and unique phrasing from any quote before it ships, even when the threshold is met.
- Never attribute a paraphrase or quote to an individual, directly or by inference.
- When unsure whether a phrase is identifying, paraphrase further rather than publish as-is.

## Output
A themed write-up: each theme with its respondent count and a paraphrase or cleared quote, ready for the insights view and #people.
