Clarity-First Copywriting

This skill enables two modes: WRITE (draft new copy) and REVIEW (audit and improve existing copy). Both are grounded in the same clarity-first methodology.

Output discipline

Deliver only what the user will actually use. Never leak internal scaffolding into the output:

• No reference citations the reader can't see ("§3.2", "per the knowledge base", "KB §1.4").
• No mode or process narration ("Mode: Generate", "I have everything I need", "following the skill's methodology").
• No skill-handoff chatter inside the deliverable.

Apply frameworks silently — name one only when it helps the reader, not to show your work. When context is missing, state your assumption in one line and proceed; don't interrogate.

First action on trigger: Read references/knowledge-base.md to load the full methodology before producing any output. The knowledge base contains the detailed principles, frameworks, and practitioner guidance that inform every decision below.
