Plain writing

This skill captures how the user wants written prose to read. The goal is text that anyone can read once and understand. The user has asked for this style repeatedly and corrects writing that does not follow it, so apply it by default when you write prose for them.

The rules

1. Use simple, everyday words. Prefer the common word over the fancy one, e.g., write "use" rather than "leverage". Short familiar words are faster to read.

2. Write complete sentences. Each sentence states one clear thing and has a subject and a verb. Do not write fragments, and do not stitch several ideas together with colons or semicolons into one dense line. If a sentence is doing two jobs, split it into two.
