plain-writing
by docwriter-org4 months ago710Writes 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.

docx
Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files) or Word templates (.dotx files). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', '.dotx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx or .dotx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.
