소개

Beautiful Prose is a Claude Code skill designed to strip away the distinctive 'AI voice'—characterized by hedging, therapeutic language, and repetitive structural patterns—to deliver muscular, exact writing. It acts as a strict style contract that enforces concrete imagery, strong verbs, and varied sentence structure across multiple literary registers. This skill is ideal for authors, developers, and content creators who require high-impact writing that feels human, authoritative, and completely free from modern content-marketing clichés or AI-generated 'slop.'
