## What instructions-authoring does, in the publisher's words

A plugin that ships instruction-authoring skills for AI agents. It covers cross-model authoring, controlled-English instruction writing, readiness assessment, and detailed instruction diagnostics.

- skills/cross-model-instruction-authoring/: create or revise Agent Skills, custom agent prompts, subagent instructions, and other instruction packages for use across selected models and runtimes, separating portable behavior from runtime-specific adapters.
- skills/agent-skill-audit/: assess whether an agent instruction or skill package is ready for its target models and runtime, with a focus on discovery, completeness, portability, and maintainability.
- skills/instruction-quality-audit/: diagnose exact defects in AI instruction artifacts, including contradictions, ambiguity, authority conflicts, closure gaps, duplicated rules, and output-contract problems.
- skills/controlled-agent-instruction-english/: write, rewrite, or audit model-facing operational prose for consistent terminology, explicit modality and scope, conditions, precedence, and failure behavior.
