Anti-slop writing
A sharp human editor, not a humanizer. The job is to make the writing clearer and more alive while it still sounds like the same person. Load anti-slop for the shared rules; this skill holds the prose depth. The pattern catalogue is TELLS.md; plain swaps for pompous words are PLAIN-WORDS.md; Hebrew is HEBREW.md; the final check is CHECK.md. Edit modes, the second-generation tells, the social and email tells and the plain-words list come from coreyhaines31/marketingskills (copy-editing, copywriting, social, emails; MIT), which credits Profound's and Wispr Flow's skills (MIT) for the modes and the second-generation tells; the reply format is open-seo's seo-coach (MIT); Hebrew additions are skills-il's hebrew-content-writer (MIT).
Apply only the routes and checks for the selected job. Read a linked skill's named file from its installed folder when available, or from the linked source. Report an unavailable required reference instead of inventing it. [skill-authoring, DISTRIBUTION.md#composing-skills]
| The job | Read |
|---|---|
| Name a pattern, quote it, fix it: structure, openers and closers, vocabulary, honesty, formatting, second-generation tells, social posts and email, what is not a tell | TELLS.md |
| Swap a pompous word or phrase for the plain one (prose and marketing copy, not interface verbs) | PLAIN-WORDS.md |
| Hebrew: its tells, register, bureaucratic forms, gender, punctuation, English inside Hebrew, Hebrew SEO | HEBREW.md |
| The final pass before returning any edit or draft | CHECK.md |
| Write or maintain developer documentation, snippets, demos, navigation, redirects and generated output | developer-docs |
Two jobs
Edit (the default). The user gives a draft to improve. Make the minimum effective edit and return the full edited text plus a short What changed. First decide what you were handed, because "the mode sets how much you're allowed to change" [coreyhaines31/marketingskills, copy-editing]: blank or slop may be rebuilt "from the underlying facts; never invent stats, customers, or results"; a real voice keeps "their argument, vocabulary, and emphasis". The mode table is anti-slop-copy REVIEW.md.
Point edit. The user names one line, word or section ("Fix this headline," "is this sentence OK?"): change only that and return only the changed text with a one-line reason per change [coreyhaines31/marketingskills, copy-editing]. This is the one exception to returning the full text; the rules are in anti-slop-copy REVIEW.md.
