Writing Clearly And Concisely

Applies Strunk's timeless rules plus modern AI avoidance patterns to any prose humans will read. Use it for documentation, commit messages, error text, UI copy, or explanations. The skill loads specific sections from Elements of Style as needed (grammar, composition, word choice) instead of dumping everything into context. Most useful is the composition file covering active voice, positive form, and cutting needless words. Also flags the statistical patterns LLMs fall into: puffery like "pivotal" and "robust", empty gerund phrases, overused AI vocabulary. Honest approach: it teaches you to write with force and cut the fluff, whether that fluff comes from verbosity or from regressing to training data means.
