Clear Writing

Write with clarity and force. This skill covers what to do (Strunk's rules), how to structure technical documentation (Divio patterns, templates), and what not to do (AI anti-patterns, doc anti-patterns).

When to Use

Use this skill whenever you write prose for humans:

  • Documentation, README files, technical explanations
  • API documentation, endpoint references, integration guides
  • Tutorials, how-to guides, architecture docs
  • Commit messages, pull request descriptions
  • Error messages, UI copy, help text, comments
  • Reports, summaries, or any explanation
  • Editing existing prose to improve clarity

If you're writing sentences for a human to read, use this skill.
