writing-style
Skill1.2k starsChanged 7 months agoLicence not identifiedView on GitHub
Apply the 21 prose rules from "The Elements of Agent Style" — 12 canonical rules (Strunk, Orwell, Pinker) plus 9 field-observed AI-output patterns. Use when the user says "writing style", "agent style", "apply style rules", "style review", "check my prose", or explicitly invokes /writing-style with an optional draft to revise. For detecting and rewriting AI-specific tells (symbolism inflation, promotional vocabulary, rule of three), prefer /inno-humanizer.

Projects with it also use changeset-scope, skill-prefixes and 5 more.
Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
timmo001Skillchangeset-scope
Keep all scoped code work contained to the user-defined changeset. Use for implementation, fixes, diagnosis, refactoring, cleanup, and review when explicit instructions, named files, diffs, branches, pull requests, or injected work scopes define the boundary.
Also in 3 projects that use this
timmo001Skillskill-prefixes
Name skills with an owner prefix so they do not collide with shared, imported or other repositories' skills. Use when creating, renaming, importing or reviewing a skill name, especially for repository-local or tool-owned skills.
Also in 3 projects that use this
NVIDIASkilltesting
Run Python and Rust tests for physicsnemo-curator using uv + pytest with coverage reporting via pytest-cov, and cargo-nextest for Rust tests. Includes benchmark workflows with pytest-benchmark and criterion.
Also in 3 projects that use this
GoogleSkillcode-review
Adversarial systems, concurrency, memory-model, and architecture code review protocol. Use this skill whenever asked to review code, PRs, diffs, or branches in Filament.
Also in 4 projects that use this
MicrosoftSkillrelease
Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to cut/publish a Huabu desktop release or tag a version. Performs an outward action — bumps the version in apps/desktop/package.json, commits + annotated-tags vX.Y.Z, and pushes the branch + tag. That tag push auto-builds the macOS/Windows installers and publishes a GitHub Release. Provides `status`, `bump`, `tag-push`, and a one-command `run` (bump → tag-push).

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
12 rules. 0 are common, 9 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 28 edited versions we read keep these.
9
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
The licence could not be identified — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 28 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
