edit-for-readability
From the author
Applies Han's shared Human-Readable Output Standard to a target you already have — a file on disk, text pasted into the prompt, or a draft already produced in the conversation — by dispatching the readability-editor to rewrite its prose so the main point comes first, headings are descriptive, each paragraph carries one idea, and sentences stay short and active, while preserving every fact. Use when you want to make a document or draft readable, edit or polish prose for readability, clean up writing, tighten wording, or re-apply the readability standard to something already written. Rewrites prose only, leaving code, diagrams, and citation identifiers unchanged. Does not write new feature or system documentation — use project-documentation. Does not restructure code or review it — use refactor to restructure code and code-review to audit it. Does not judge the underlying work or raise findings; it only rewrites the writing.

- readability-guidancetestdouble/hanSurfaces Han's shared Human-Readable Output Standard — the readability rule and the writing-voice profile — into the calling skill's own context, so the caller drafts in voice and runs its self-check against the current standard sourced from one canonical copy. Use when a prose-producing skill needs the shared readability standard available in context before it drafts. Governs the shape of a written deliverable, where explanation-guidance governs what a run says to a person in a turn. Runs in the caller's context and hands control straight back; it does not produce a deliverable of its own, rewrite anything, or judge the caller's work. Does not run the adversarial rewrite pass — dispatch the readability-editor agent for that, or use edit-for-readability to rewrite an existing target. Does not cover explaining technical work to a reader who will not implement it — use explanation-guidance for that.Writing★ 322
- readabilitybrycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-SkillsCorrect grammar errors, typos, and improve academic readability in LaTeX, Markdown, or plain-text manuscripts. Scans the document once, then walks through every issue one-by-one asking for approval before applying each fix. Trigger when the user says "readability", "check grammar", "fix typos", "proofread for grammar", "improve readability", "polish wording", "语言润色", "修语法", or asks you to clean up the prose in a paper/chapter/section without wanting full content restructuring.Science★ 4.8K
- clean-user-facing-textguillaumemeyer/watermarks-removerClean and finalize authorized natural-language text intended for readers by auditing suspicious invisible Unicode and rewriting prose while preserving facts, meaning, and the writer's voice. Use when the user asks to clean, humanize, polish, or finalize articles, manuscripts, reports, documentation, emails, product copy, UI text, Markdown, or HTML prose, or when a project rule or instruction file explicitly requires this workflow. Don't use for code-only tasks or undisclosed authorship evasion; leave code, commands, identifiers, paths, APIs, formulas, citations, required disclosures, and verbatim quotations unchanged.Design★ 24.8K
- article-polishejboy/agent-scriptsReview articles for readability, clarity, narrative flow, repetition, unnatural phrasing, and reader friction, including screenshots, charts, captions, and labels. Use for requests to polish an article, review a draft for readability, improve article prose, or check writing before publication across genres. Preserve the author's voice, factual accuracy, and intended audience; review without rewriting by default.Writing★ 117
- line-editingdanjdewhurst/story-skillsThis skill should be used when the user asks to "line edit", "edit my prose", "polish this chapter", "tighten the prose", "improve the sentences", "copyedit", "proofread", "proof pass", "check grammar and punctuation", "dialogue punctuation", "make the voices distinct", "everyone sounds the same", "read it aloud", "read-aloud pass", "text to speech", or wants a sentence-level quality pass on drafted chapters that preserves the author's voice. NOT for creating the style sheet, recording character voices, or checking voice consistency (use voice-style).Writing★ 347
