rewrite-plain

Skill65 starsChanged 3 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub

Rewrites anything into plain, direct language a busy person understands on the first read. Kills jargon, hedging, passive voice, throat-clearing openers, and the corporate words that mean nothing — while keeping your meaning and every fact exactly as they were. Shows a short before/after so you start spotting the pattern yourself. Works on emails, posts, bios, sales pages, docs, anything. Use when the user says "make this simpler", "this sounds corporate", "rewrite this", "plain English", "clean this up", "make this clearer", "does this make sense", "too wordy", "dumb this down", "tighten this", or /rewrite-plain.

The file

Show its rules and text

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

15 rules. About 0 are common, 14 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈14

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
