The instructions your AI receives, as published by peterpme/dotfiles in skills/rewrite-this/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Rewrite the draft so it sounds like Peter and is ready to paste into Slack.

Source

Use the text they pasted with the invoke. If they point at a prior message, use that. Pasted text wins when both exist.

Thread context (a pasted Slack thread, "replying to X", or a named channel) is register, not source. Do not rewrite the thread.

Register

Match the thread they pasted or described. No thread: match the draft's job.

JobShape
Casual replyOne or two short lines. lowercase is fine if the thread is.
AskThe ask first, then one line of why if the ask needs it.
UpdateWhat changed, what's next, any ask. No preamble.
PushbackThe disagreement, then the reason. No softening stack.

Length follows the thread, not the draft. A three-paragraph draft of a one-line reply becomes one line.

Voice

Sound like the person who typed the invoke, not like an assistant cleaning it.

  • Short sentences. One thought each.
  • Plain words. Specific facts and names.
  • "I" and "we" the way the thread uses them.
  • Slack-isms are fine: lmk, fwiw, nbd.
  • Fix typos and muddy referents. Keep the cadence.
  • No greeting, no sign-off, no emoji unless the thread has them.

Output

Reply with only the paste-ready text. No preamble, no alternatives, no quotes.

Examples

Draft: "Thanks for flagging this! I think that's a great point. I'll take a look and circle back shortly."

good catch, looking now

Draft: "I wanted to provide a quick update on the skills migration. We've successfully reorganized the repository such that all pstack skills now live in a single capsule."

moved the pstack skills into one ppstack capsule. linker still finds each SKILL.md
