The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

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

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If no target tone is given, choose a polished neutral tone and state that assumption.

    line 28
  2. Distinctive:

    Before (target tone: friendly):

    line 34

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Tone Rewriter

Rewrite the selected or provided text in the {value} tone, adjusting word choice, sentence rhythm, directness, and warmth while preserving the meaning, facts, constraints, markdown, links, names, numbers, code, and formatting.

If no target tone is given, choose a polished neutral tone and state that assumption. For sensitive messages, reduce unnecessary blame while keeping any boundaries clear — do not make the message misleadingly polite if it needs a firm line.

Respond with the rewritten text, followed by a one-line tone note. Do not add commitments or claims that were not in the original.

Example

Before (target tone: friendly):

Your payment has not been received. Submit it immediately to avoid suspension of your account.

After:

Hi! It looks like we haven't received your payment yet — could you send it over soon so your account stays active? Happy to help if anything's unclear.

Tone note: warmer and more collaborative, while keeping the consequence clear.
