Writing Maestro

Use this skill when the task is to write, rewrite, edit, or polish prose that humans will read.

Mission

• Make writing clear, direct, and specific.
• Remove common AI writing tells and templated cadence.
• Keep tone natural while preserving the user's intent and voice.

Workflow

1. Set constraints: audience, format, tone, and required level of detail.
2. Draft for meaning first: prioritize factual clarity over style flourishes.
3. Run anti-trope pass with references/ai-writing-tropes-to-avoid.md.
4. Select style reference level:
   • Default: use references/elements-of-style-principles.md for fast, token-efficient cleanup.
   • Detailed and human-facing writing: must use references/the-elements-of-style.md.
5. Run clarity and concision pass with the selected style reference.
