Writing Clearly and Concisely

Overview

Write with clarity and force. This skill covers what to do (Strunk) and what not to do (AI patterns).

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill whenever you write prose for humans:

  • Documentation, README files, technical explanations
  • Commit messages, pull request descriptions
  • Error messages, UI copy, help text, comments
  • Reports, summaries, or any explanation
  • Editing to improve clarity

If you're writing sentences for a human to read, use this skill.

Limited Context Strategy

When context is tight:

  1. Write your draft using judgment
  2. Dispatch a subagent with your draft and the relevant section file
  3. Have the subagent copyedit and return the revision

Loading a single section (~1,000-4,500 tokens) instead of everything saves significant context.

Elements of Style

William Strunk Jr.'s The Elements of Style (1918) teaches you to write clearly and cut ruthlessly.

Rules

Elementary Rules of Usage (Grammar/Punctuation):

  1. Form possessive singular by adding 's
  2. Use comma after each term in series except last
  3. Enclose parenthetic expressions between commas
  4. Comma before conjunction introducing co-ordinate clause
  5. Don't join independent clauses by comma
  6. Don't break sentences in two
  7. Participial phrase at beginning refers to grammatical subject

Elementary Principles of Composition:

  1. One paragraph per topic
  2. Begin paragraph with topic sentence
  3. Use active voice
  4. Put statements in positive form
  5. Use definite, specific, concrete language
  6. Omit needless words
  7. Avoid succession of loose sentences
  8. Express co-ordinate ideas in similar form
  9. Keep related words together
  10. Keep to one tense in summaries
  11. Place emphatic words at end of sentence

Reference Files

The rules above are summarized from Strunk's original text. For complete explanations with examples:

Section File ~Tokens
Grammar, punctuation, comma rules 02-elementary-rules-of-usage.md 2,500
Paragraph structure, active voice, concision 03-elementary-principles-of-composition.md 4,500
Headings, quotations, formatting 04-a-few-matters-of-form.md 1,000
Word choice, common errors 05-words-and-expressions-commonly-misused.md 4,000

Most tasks need only 03-elementary-principles-of-composition.md — it covers active voice, positive form, concrete language, and omitting needless words.

AI Writing Patterns to Avoid

LLMs regress to statistical means, producing generic, puffy prose. Avoid:

  • Puffery: pivotal, crucial, vital, testament, enduring legacy
  • Empty "-ing" phrases: ensuring reliability, showcasing features, highlighting capabilities
  • Promotional adjectives: groundbreaking, seamless, robust, cutting-edge
  • Overused AI vocabulary: delve, leverage, multifaceted, foster, realm, tapestry
  • Formatting overuse: excessive bullets, emoji decorations, bold on every other word

Be specific, not grandiose. Say what it actually does.

For comprehensive research on why these patterns occur, see signs-of-ai-writing.md. Wikipedia editors developed this guide to detect AI-generated submissions — their patterns are well-documented and field-tested.

Bottom Line

Writing for humans? Load the relevant section from elements-of-style/ and apply the rules. For most tasks, 03-elementary-principles-of-composition.md covers what matters most.

So verwenden Sie diesen Skill

1

Install writing-clearly-and-concisely by running npx skills add cachemoney/agent-toolkit --skill writing-clearly-and-concisely in your project directory. Führen Sie den obigen Installationsbefehl in Ihrem Projektverzeichnis aus. Die Skill-Datei wird von GitHub heruntergeladen und in Ihrem Projekt platziert.

2

Keine Konfiguration erforderlich. Ihr KI-Agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf usw.) erkennt installierte Skills automatisch und nutzt sie als Kontext bei der Code-Generierung.

3

Der Skill verbessert das Verständnis Ihres Agenten für writing-clearly-and-concisely, und hilft ihm, etablierte Muster zu befolgen, häufige Fehler zu vermeiden und produktionsreifen Code zu erzeugen.

Was Sie erhalten

Skills sind Klartext-Anweisungsdateien — kein ausführbarer Code. Sie kodieren Expertenwissen über Frameworks, Sprachen oder Tools, das Ihr KI-Agent liest, um seine Ausgabe zu verbessern. Das bedeutet null Laufzeit-Overhead, keine Abhängigkeitskonflikte und volle Transparenz: Sie können jede Anweisung vor der Installation lesen und prüfen.

Kompatibilität

Dieser Skill funktioniert mit jedem KI-Coding-Agenten, der das skills.sh-Format unterstützt, einschließlich Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider und anderen Tools, die projektbezogene Kontextdateien lesen. Skills sind auf Transportebene framework-agnostisch — der Inhalt bestimmt, für welche Sprache oder welches Framework er gilt.

Data sourced from the skills.sh registry and GitHub. Install counts and security audits are updated regularly.
