plain-talk
From the author

- plain-writingadriannoes/awesome-agentic-aiWrite and edit prose in the user's plain style: simple everyday words, complete sentences, no dashes, no jargon, no analogies, no filler, and full clear explanations. Use this whenever you draft or revise any prose for the user, such as documents, Notion pages, reports, summaries, README files, research notes, proposals, slide text, emails, or commit and PR descriptions. Also use it whenever the user asks to simplify, clean up, tighten, reword, or make writing clearer or easier to read. Default to this style for prose written for the user unless they ask for a different one. Do not apply it to code itself, only to the words around it.Writing★ 72
- simple-englishvinta/hal-9000Use when the user explicitly asks for simple English, plain English, or for text a non-native English speaker can read easily — rewrites docs, READMEs, issues, comments, or UI text into plain words and translation-friendly grammar, still native-sounding. Prose the user signs in their own voice goes to write-like-me insteadDesign★ 141
- plain-languagesurendranb/writing-skillsWrite in plain language per the US Plain Writing Act of 2010 and the Plain Language Action Network. Use when the user wants clearer, simpler, shorter writing; wants to improve readability; writes public-facing or government-style content; or asks to "plain English" or "simplify" a draft.Writing★ 51
- os-say-simplekharmanskyi/open-stepsALWAYS invoke this skill when the user asks for simpler or shorter about something said or written - "say it simply", "what does this mean", "I don't understand your answer", "too long", "wait, what?", "bro" - in any language, about any text: your own answer, a report, a review comment, an error. "I don't understand what to DO" is os-step-by-step; this skill restates text. It restates for a reader who does not read code: leads with the point, keeps every number, warning and caveat - no facts added, no bad news dropped. A number returns exactly that many points, most important first.Writing★ 1.2K
- explain-in-simple-languageeai-org/agent-toolkitExplain code, a decision, a recap, or a question to the user, or write a document a human reads, so a fluent but often non-native reader understands it on the first read. Use when explaining or asking the user anything, when writing a review, report, or brief a human reads (never text sent under the user's name), or when the user asks for simpler words or says they did not understand.Writing★ 66
