plain-writing
Writes and edits prose in a plain and boring style: simple everyday words, complete sentences, no dashes, no jargon, and no analogies. Use when drafting or revising documents, Notion pages, reports, summaries, READMEs, emails, slides, commit messages, or PR descriptions, or when the user asks to simplify, clean up, tighten, reword, or make writing clearer. Use when the user invokes /plain-writing deslopify or asks to deslopify an agent response. Do not apply to code, only to the words around it.
