Comms Improver
Rewrite legal text in plain language for a specified non-legal audience. The output preserves meaning while changing form: shorter sentences, common words instead of jargon, active voice instead of passive, concrete examples instead of abstract formulations. The skill is transformation, not drafting from scratch.
This skill is for the everyday in-house counsel task of translating between legal precision and non-legal accessibility. Lawyers spend significant time rewriting their own work — or reviewing others' rewrites — for executive readouts, sales communications, customer disclosures, deal-team briefings, and engineering specs. The skill does this rewriting (or supports the user's rewriting) while flagging where translation involved interpretation.
When this skill applies
Apply when the user has legal-jargon-heavy text and wants it rewritten for a specified non-legal audience. Common inputs:
- Email drafts to non-legal business stakeholders.
- Contract clauses to be explained to a deal team or product team.
- Legal disclaimers to be rewritten for customer-facing surfaces.
- Memos to be summarized for executive readouts.
- Regulatory developments to be communicated to affected business functions.
- Compliance obligations to be translated for the operational owner.
Do not apply when:
