What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by shangjin-xiao/thoughtecho in .agents/skills/fabric-improve-writing/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Adapted from Daniel Miesslers Fabric framework (28k+ stars), this skill refines written text to maximize clarity, brevity, and natural human tone while ruthlessly purging AI clichés.

When to Use

  • Polishing user documentation (docs/USER_MANUAL.md or res/user-guide.html).
  • Refining release notes, changelogs, or articles.
  • Eliminating robotic or bloated expressions from user-facing copy.

The "Stop-Slop" Blacklist (Purge on Sight)

Purge these AI writing habits:

  • ❌ "In todays fast-paced world..." / "在当今快节奏的时代..."
  • ❌ "It is worth noting that..." / "值得注意的是..."
  • ❌ "Delve into...", "Unlock the power of...", "Beacon of...", "Tapestry of..."
  • ❌ "不仅...而且...", "作为一款集...于一体的...", "为您带来前所未有的体验"
  • ❌ Overusing redundant adjectives and adverbs ("extremely", "uniquely", "seamlessly").

5 Improvement Steps

  1. Cut the Bloat: Remove opening filler sentences. Start with the core thought.
  2. Active Voice: Convert passive constructions to active subjects and verbs.
  3. Vary Sentence Length: Mix short, punchy sentences with balanced longer ones for natural rhythm.
  4. Concrete Examples: Replace abstract generalities with concrete, visual specifics.
  5. Human Warmth: Preserve genuine, thoughtful tone (especially for ThoughtEcho).
