## What writing does, in the publisher's words

This plugin ships writing disciplines for the prose agents produce: a base style for all prose, a layered standard for technical artifacts, and a house style for files that instruct agents.

An agent can invoke all three skills implicitly: prose when a session composes or edits prose, technical-writing when it writes or revises technical artifacts, and agent-instructions when it writes or revises agent-facing instruction files or sub-agent prompts. The skills layer: prose is the base style, and the other two override it for the artifacts they own.

- prose: Base style for all prose, plain wording, one main claim per sentence, and a slop-pattern catalog, with a chat-responses reference for conversational replies.
- technical-writing: Diátaxis document modes, STE-inspired wording, optional controlled-language limits, and Google developer style formatting for technical artifacts: READMEs, guides, runbooks, reference prose, release notes, change descriptions, issue and ticket descriptions, and collaborative comments.

## Skills

- agent-instructions: Use when creating, editing, tightening, or reviewing files that instruct agents, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, SKILL.md, agent definition files, or system-prompt fragments, including reviewing a diff to such a file for instruction quality, and before writing the prompt that dispatches a sub-agent or delega…
- prose: Use when asked to write, rewrite, tighten, shorten, or review general prose for a human reader, a chat reply, explanation, summary, announcement, email, newsletter, or blog post, or to make text sound less AI-generated, robotic, or stilted, or to cut filler and slop from text. This is the base styl…
- technical-writing: Use when writing, editing, or reviewing technical artifacts, README files, CONTRIBUTING and setup guides, runbooks, operational procedures, migration and upgrade guides, API reference prose, architecture and design documents, release notes, long-form docstrings, pull request descriptions, or issue…
