Prose Clarity Reviser
When to Use
The user has written prose — in any research, academic, or professional context — and wants it to be clearer or more readable. Typical triggers:
- User pastes a paragraph and says "this is confusing" or "make this clearer"
- User shares a draft section and asks for a style pass or readability revision
- A supervisor, editor, or reviewer has flagged the writing as dense, abstract, or hard to follow
- The user says their writing sounds too "academic," too stiff, or too indirect
- The user asks why their sentences don't "flow" or why readers keep re-reading them
Do not apply these principles as the user writes new text. These are revision tools — apply them only after a draft exists. Applying them during drafting causes paralysis.
Scope: This skill handles sentence-level and paragraph-level style revision only. It does not restructure arguments, reorganize sections, or evaluate evidence. For those concerns, use a different skill.
