TL;DR

This skill enforces a strict standard of plain writing by removing jargon, analogies, and AI-typical filler words. It is designed for writers and developers who need to draft reports, READMEs, or commit messages that can be understood in a single pass.

By prioritizing simple everyday language and complete sentences, the skill strips away linguistic complexity to ensure technical communication remains direct and accessible.
