Is this skill suitable for technical documentation?

Absolutely. It is designed to replace 'corporate speak' and 'copy voice' with flat, fact-based conclusions that are much easier for readers to digest.

How does the Clear Writing skill make text sound more human?

It works by subtraction, identifying and stripping away 'AI tells' such as adjective triplets, performative simplicity, and rhetorical flourishes that LLMs typically produce.

What kind of 'forbidden' words does this skill look for?

It scans for and removes common LLM vocabulary such as 'delve', 'tapestry', 'myriad', 'comprehensive', 'landscape', and 'game-changing'.

Can I use specific author styles with this skill?

Yes, the skill includes style references for various registers, including analytical voices like Tyler Cowen and narrative styles like Michael Lewis.

Content Management

Strips away generic AI patterns to produce clear, human-sounding prose through rigorous subtraction and stylistic constraints.

Clear Writing is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to eliminate the robotic "AI voice" from your content by enforcing a philosophy of subtraction. Instead of adding more instructions, it functions by removing the hallmarks of LLM generation—such as over-balanced sentences, rhetorical flourishes, and forbidden vocabulary like "delve" or "leverage." This skill is essential for anyone needing to produce authentic-sounding documentation, blog posts, or social content that reads like it was written by a person thinking, rather than a document performing. It includes a comprehensive set of measurable constraints and optional style references to help you hit specific registers like analytical, narrative, or conversational tones.
