chadjardine Writing
This is a general home for writing help: drafting, editing, and critique. It's built to grow — new modules get added as reference files, each covering one writing concern. This skill routes to the right module and loads it before acting.
How to use this skill
- Read the modules list below and pick the one(s) that fit the request. If more than one applies, load all relevant ones.
viewthe matching reference file(s) inreferences/before doing the actual writing or editing work. The module file has the full instructions — this SKILL.md is just the router.- Follow that module's instructions.
- If no module fits the request but it's still a writing task, use good general writing judgment: clear, concrete, active, true to the user's voice, no unnecessary padding.
Modules
| Module | File | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| No AI Slop | references/no-ai-slop.md |
Editing a draft to sound sharper, more direct, more human, and less like AI-generated prose, while preserving the writer's voice. Also handles "detect" requests — auditing a draft for AI-slop patterns without rewriting it. |
(Add new rows here as modules are added — see "Adding a new module" below.)
Adding a new module
When the user wants to extend this skill with a new writing capability:
- Write the module as a new file in
references/, named for what it does (e.g.references/tone-shifting.md,references/structure-editing.md). - Give the module a short header explaining what it covers and when to use it, same style as the existing module.
- Add a row to the Modules table above so future routing picks it up.
- Keep modules independent — a module shouldn't assume another module already ran, since the user may invoke just one.
- If the SKILL.md body (this file) is getting long as more modules are listed, keep the table lean and push all detail into the reference files — this file should stay a router, not accumulate instructions itself.
