Agent writing

Write for the reader and the artifact. Lead with the answer, outcome, decision, or required action. Preserve every material fact, caveat, settled decision, and next action before removing lower-value detail.

Keep the boundary clear

This skill governs an agent's communication with people and the engineering artifacts the agent drafts for collaboration. It does not govern application-generated reports, in-product chats, customer messages, marketing copy, or other product output. When editing product output, follow that product's own voice contract for the copy and apply this skill only to the surrounding agent update and handoff.
