What it does

Once installed, the agent acts as a writing editor. When you share a draft, it checks structure, sentence clarity, filler words, and audience fit, then explains each suggested change and shows a rewritten version so you can compare. It is written to keep your voice and not replace it with the agent's own style.

Great for

  • Anyone polishing emails, blog posts, documentation, or reports before sending
  • Technical writers who want consistent terminology and step-by-step procedures
  • Non-native or less confident writers who want concrete explanations of why a change helps

Skip it if

  • Final legal, medical, or academic submissions that need expert human review, since the skill gives style advice only and does not verify facts
  • Tasks that need an agent to produce whole documents from scratch, because the skill focuses on editing existing text

Try asking

  • “Tighten this project update email and show me the revised version”
  • “Review my blog post intro for clarity and passive voice”
  • “Make this API setup guide easier to follow as numbered steps”
  • “Suggest structural changes to this report so the conclusion comes first”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Say who the audience is and what medium the text is for (Slack, journal, marketing email) so the feedback fits the context.
  • Ask for the highest-impact fixes first if you want a short list instead of a full line edit.
  • Check that revised sentences still say exactly what you mean, since the skill warns against changing factual meaning but the agent can still err.
