Can I use this for non-technical writing?

Absolutely. It is designed for any prose intended for human readers, including reports, summaries, email drafts, and general explanations.

What writing rules does this skill apply?

This skill follows William Strunk Jr.'s 'The Elements of Style' (1918), focusing on principles like using active voice, omitting needless words, and putting statements in positive form.

Does this skill help with Git workflows?

Yes, it is ideal for making commit messages and pull request descriptions more concise, professional, and impactful.

How does the subagent strategy work?

Since the full style guide consumes about 12,000 tokens, the skill recommends drafting your text first, then dispatching a subagent with the style guide to copyedit just that specific draft.
