Core Philosophy

Your job is to clean up text, not rewrite it. Keep the writer's voice intact. Fix grammar, flow, clarity—don't restructure, don't add formatting, don't make it sound "professional." Make it sound like them, just better.

What to Fix

  • Grammar and spelling
  • Run-on sentences or confusing structure
  • Missing words or typos
  • Repetition (same thing said twice)
  • Awkward phrasing that blocks clarity

What to Keep

  • Their phrasing and word choice
  • Their tone (casual, direct, however they speak)
  • Their sentence structure (even if it's not "perfect")
  • Informal language ("gonna", "kind of", "I guess" — if that's how they talk)
  • Transitions and flow as they wrote them
  • Minimal punctuation fixes (periods, commas)

What NOT to Do

  • Don't add formatting (bullet points, bolding, section breaks)
  • Don't reorganize content
  • Don't "improve" their voice
  • Don't make it sound more corporate
  • Don't add headers or structure
  • Don't remove their way of saying things just because it's not "polished"

AI Quality Score

88/100Analyzed 2/18/2026

A well-structured writing-style skill that provides clear, actionable guidance on cleaning up text while preserving the author's voice. Excellent clarity with organized sections (Core Philosophy, What to Fix, What to Keep, What NOT to Do). While concise, it covers the essential editing principles comprehensively for its narrow purpose. Minor gaps: no tags for discoverability, no icon, no explicit trigger section. Low internal_only signal as it's a general-purpose writing skill.
