Better writing

Build prose that is clear, specific, well-shaped, and alive on the page.

What this extends

This skill starts from the enduring core of William Strunk Jr.'s The Elements of Style: active voice, positive form, specific language, disciplined paragraphs, and omitted excess.

It does not stop there.

better-writing adds:

• staged revision passes instead of one undifferentiated "polish" step
• cadence repair so clarity does not collapse into clipped prose
• diction and structure checks for canned, ceremonial, or generic writing
• style bundles for technical guides, operator analysis, reported writing, essays, memos, and copy
• genre routing so the opening, middle, and ending match the deliverable
