Improve, rewrite, edit, or review prose so it is clear, direct, useful, and natural without inventing facts or erasing the author's voice. Use when drafting or revising emails, documentation, reports, essays, messages, UI copy, explanations, or other prose; when the user asks to write better, humanize text, remove AI-sounding language, tighten wording, improve clarity or tone, or make an action easier to understand. Do not use for translation or factual research unless writing quality is also part of the request.
Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Write so the reader understands the point, the evidence, and the next action without rereading. Protect the reader's attention. Prefer plain language, concrete details, and useful structure.
Put the main point in the first one or two sentences.
For professional communication, lead with one of these:
Add context after the reader knows why they are reading.
Bad:
I wanted to reach out to provide some context regarding the project timeline.
Better:
The release will move from May 12 to May 19 because the payment tests are still failing.
Brief context may come first when the reader needs it to interpret sensitive, legal, safety-related, or surprising information correctly.
Every sentence should change what the reader knows, decides, or does.
A sentence may contribute:
Delete sentences that only announce, emphasize, summarize, or decorate a point already made.
Common filler:
State the information instead.
Keep the original facts, requirements, qualifications, and necessary examples.
You may:
Do not preserve the original paragraph count or sentence count. A padded five-paragraph draft may need to become two paragraphs.
Prefer familiar words and direct constructions.
Use:
Treat these words as warnings:
delve, leverage, robust, seamless, streamline, utilize, comprehensive, holistic, facilitate, optimize, harness, navigate, landscape, realm, foster, empower, crucial, essential, pivotal, significantly
Keep one when it has a precise technical meaning. Remove it when it adds polish without precision.
Good:
The compiler optimizes repeated lookups.
Weak:
The platform optimizes the customer journey through seamless automation.
Use names, dates, numbers, owners, systems, and observable actions.
Weak:
We should improve cross-functional alignment to streamline delivery.
Better:
Priya will send the revised API schema to the mobile team by Tuesday. The team will confirm the migration date by Thursday.
Prefer language the reader can picture happening.
Replace abstract nouns with actions when possible:
For requests, specify:
Weak:
Let me know your thoughts.
Better:
Please confirm the revised launch date by Thursday at 3 p.m.
Prefer one main outcome per message. Several related actions may appear together when each one is explicit. Number them when order, ownership, or completion matters.
Clarity does not require the same voice everywhere.
For documentation:
For workplace messages:
For essays and personal writing:
Match the genre before matching stylistic mannerisms.
When a writing sample is available, study:
Keep meaningful irregularities. Do not replace the author's voice with a generic casual style.
Do not add personality merely to signal that a human wrote the text.
Do not turn ordinary information into slogans, aphorisms, or miniature speeches.
Avoid formulas such as:
Use corrective contrast only when the reader is likely to hold the mistaken belief and correcting it affects their actions.
Weak:
This is not merely a performance improvement. It is a transformation of the developer experience.
Better:
The change reduces build time from 11 minutes to 4 minutes.
Avoid unsupported claims that something is important, significant, pivotal, profound, or transformative.
Explain the consequence.
Weak:
This is a crucial change for the organization.
Better:
Without this change, the company cannot process EU customer data after September 1.
The facts should carry the emphasis.
Metadiscourse tells the reader how to interpret the writing rather than giving them the information.
Common forms:
Use these only when they resolve a real structural ambiguity. Do not place them at the start of each paragraph to create artificial continuity.
Do not open by announcing how many points will follow when the count adds no information.
Weak:
Three things to know. First, the migration pauses writes.
Better:
The migration pauses writes for five minutes.
Use a count when it helps the reader navigate numbered steps, track requirements, or understand that the quantity matters.
Check paragraph openings that begin with "This" or "That." Make sure the paragraph advances the explanation rather than renaming the previous one.
Do not repeat a claim merely with different vocabulary.
A restatement should add at least one of these:
Delete paraphrase chains that explain the same point several times.
Use a list when the reader needs to:
Do not force ideas into groups of three. Do not add a third item for rhythm or completeness.
Avoid long lists with bold labels when a sentence or table would be easier to read.
Avoid a uniform run of medium-length sentences. Also avoid forced alternation between short and long sentences.
Do not add fragments or dramatic pauses merely to vary the rhythm.
Read the passage aloud. Revise it when:
Sentence length should reflect the amount and relationship of the information.
Name the actor when responsibility matters.
Weak:
The request was reviewed and a decision was made.
Better:
The security team reviewed the request and rejected it.
Passive voice is acceptable when the actor is unknown, irrelevant, already understood, or less important than the process.
Acceptable:
Tokens are deleted after 30 days.
The problem is unclear responsibility, not passive grammar itself.
Systems and tools may be the subject when the verb describes observable behavior.
Acceptable:
The API returns JSON.
Do not give software human intentions, beliefs, or desires unless that description is literally accurate.
Weak:
The platform wants to guide users through setup.
Better:
The onboarding flow shows each setup step in order.
Repeat the correct term when precision matters.
Weak:
The customer submits a request. The user then receives a response. The account holder can review the result.
Better:
The customer submits a request, receives the response, and reviews the result.
Technical writing benefits from stable terminology.
Watch for participial phrases that add interpretation without evidence:
Weak:
The redesign uses blue and green, reflecting the company's commitment to trust and growth.
Better:
The redesign uses blue and green. The design brief identifies them as the company's existing brand colors.
Do not infer symbolism, intention, or significance without a source.
Do not write:
Name the source and state the finding.
Better:
In its 2025 survey of 640 developers, Stack Overflow found that 42 percent checked AI-generated code less carefully when working under deadline pressure.
When no reliable source exists, remove the claim or state the uncertainty plainly.
Documentation and factual writing should not sound like advertising.
Remove phrases such as:
Replace praise with observable details.
Weak:
The platform delivers a seamless and powerful experience.
Better:
The platform imports CSV files up to 2 GB and reports row-level validation errors.
Do not use em dashes.
Replace them with:
Do not use punctuation to manufacture drama.
Preserve conventional en dashes only when the applicable style guide requires them for ranges or compound relationships. A house style may replace those too.
Avoid:

Do not use for translation or factual research unless writing quality is also part of the request. --- # Writing guidance for AI agents Write so the reader understands the point, the evidence, and the next action without rereading. Protect the reader's attention. Prefer plain language, concrete details, and useful structure. ## 1. Start with the useful part Put the main point in the first one or two sentences. For professional communication, lead with one of these: * the request * the decision * the conclusion * the result * the problem * the relevant fact Add context after the reader knows why they are reading. Bad: > I wanted to reach out to provide some context regarding the project timeline. Better: > The release will move from May 12 to May 19 because the payment tests are still failing. Brief context may come first when the reader needs it to interpret sensitive, legal, safety-related, or surprising information correctly. ## 2. Make every sentence earn its place Every sentence should change what the reader knows, decides, or does. A sentence may contribute: * a fact * a definition * a reason * evidence * a condition * a constraint * a consequence * an exception * a warning * a decision * an action * a concrete example Delete sentences that only announce, emphasize, summarize, or decorate a point already made. Common filler: * "That distinction matters." * "It is important to note that..." * "The practical mental model is simple." * "This highlights the importance of..." * "Here is what you need to know." * "In today's rapidly changing environment..." * "At its core..." * "The real question is..." State the information instead. ## 3. Preserve information, not length Keep the original facts, requirements, qualifications, and necessary examples. You may: * delete empty sentences * merge paragraphs * remove repeated explanations * shorten examples * reorder information * replace abstractions with concrete language Do not preserve the original paragraph count or sentence count. A padded five-paragraph draft may need to become two paragraphs. ## 4. Use plain language Prefer familiar words and direct constructions. Use: * "use" instead of "utilize" * "help" instead of "facilitate" * "improve" instead of "enhance" * "use" instead of "leverage" * "is" instead of "serves as" * "has" instead of "boasts" * "can" instead of "has the ability to" Treat these words as warnings: > delve, leverage, robust, seamless, streamline, utilize, comprehensive, holistic, facilitate, optimize, harness, navigate, landscape, realm, foster, empower, crucial, essential, pivotal, significantly Keep one when it has a precise technical meaning. Remove it when it adds polish without precision. Good: > The compiler optimizes repeated lookups. Weak: > The platform optimizes the customer journey through seamless automation. ## 5. Be concrete Use names, dates, numbers, owners, systems, and observable actions. Weak: > We should improve cross-functional alignment to streamline delivery. Better: > Priya will send the revised API schema to the mobile team by Tuesday. The team will confirm the migration date by Thursday. Prefer language the reader can picture happening. Replace abstract nouns with actions when possible: * "conduct an evaluation of" becomes "evaluate" * "make a determination" becomes "decide" * "provide assistance" becomes "help" * "perform an inspection" becomes "inspect" ## 6. Put actions in usable form For requests, specify: * who should act * what they should do * when it is due * what completion looks like Weak: > Let me know your thoughts. Better: > Please confirm the revised launch date by Thursday at 3 p.m. Prefer one main outcome per message. Several related actions may appear together when each one is explicit. Number them when order, ownership, or completion matters. ## 7. Match the genre Clarity does not require the same voice everywhere. For documentation: * describe current behavior * explain how to use it * state constraints and failure conditions * include examples only when they remove ambiguity * avoid promotional language and personality For workplace messages: * use the tone appropriate to the relationship * keep politeness brief * make the request easy to identify * avoid unnecessary formality For essays and personal writing: * preserve genuine opinions, uncertainty, humor, and irregularities * do not manufacture quirks to appear human * do not add tangents, fragments, or fake self-corrections unless they belong to the author's voice Match the genre before matching stylistic mannerisms. ## 8. Preserve the author's voice When a writing sample is available, study: * sentence length * vocabulary * paragraph openings * punctuation * degree of formality * transition habits * humor * recurring phrases Keep meaningful irregularities. Do not replace the author's voice with a generic casual style. Do not add personality merely to signal that a human wrote the text. ## 9. Avoid rhetorical packaging Do not turn ordinary information into slogans, aphorisms, or miniature speeches. Avoid formulas such as: * "It is not X. It is Y." * "It is not just about X. It is about Y." * "X is the language of Y." * "X becomes a trap." * "The future of X is Y." * "What really matters is..." * "The heart of the matter is..." Use corrective contrast only when the reader is likely to hold the mistaken belief and correcting it affects their actions. Weak: > This is not merely a performance improvement. It is a transformation of the developer experience. Better: > The change reduces build time from 11 minutes to 4 minutes. ## 10. Do not manufacture emphasis Avoid unsupported claims that something is important, significant, pivotal, profound, or transformative. Explain the consequence. Weak: > This is a crucial change for the organization. Better: > Without this change, the company cannot process EU customer data after September 1. The facts should carry the emphasis. ## 11. Control metadiscourse Metadiscourse tells the reader how to interpret the writing rather than giving them the information. Common forms: * "This means..." * "That distinction..." * "In other words..." * "It is worth noting..." * "The key point..." * "As we can see..." * "Let us explore..." * "Now let us look at..." Use these only when they resolve a real structural ambiguity. Do not place them at the start of each paragraph to create artificial continuity. Do not open by announcing how many points will follow when the count adds no information. Weak: > Three things to know. First, the migration pauses writes. Better: > The migration pauses writes for five minutes. Use a count when it helps the reader navigate numbered steps, track requirements, or understand that the quantity matters. Check paragraph openings that begin with "This" or "That." Make sure the paragraph advances the explanation rather than renaming the previous one. ## 12. Avoid semantic repetition Do not repeat a claim merely with different vocabulary. A restatement should add at least one of these: * greater precision * a necessary example * a consequence * a limit * an exception * an operational instruction Delete paraphrase chains that explain the same point several times. ## 13. Use lists only when the structure helps Use a list when the reader needs to: * compare items * follow steps * check requirements * identify owners * scan options Do not force ideas into groups of three. Do not add a third item for rhythm or completeness. Avoid long lists with bold labels when a sentence or table would be easier to read. ## 14. Let sentence structure follow the information Avoid a uniform run of medium-length sentences. Also avoid forced alternation between short and long sentences. Do not add fragments or dramatic pauses merely to vary the rhythm. Read the passage aloud. Revise it when: * every sentence has the same shape * clauses arrive in repeated groups of three * each paragraph ends with a punchline * several short sentences manufacture drama * the prose ticks with an obvious pattern Sentence length should reflect the amount and relationship of the information. ## 15. Use direct subjects and verbs Name the actor when responsibility matters. Weak: > The request was reviewed and a decision was made. Better: > The security team reviewed the request and rejected it. Passive voice is acceptable when the actor is unknown, irrelevant, already understood, or less important than the process. Acceptable: > Tokens are deleted after 30 days. The problem is unclear responsibility, not passive grammar itself. Systems and tools may be the subject when the verb describes observable behavior. Acceptable: > The API returns JSON. Do not give software human intentions, beliefs, or desires unless that description is literally accurate. Weak: > The platform wants to guide users through setup. Better: > The onboarding flow shows each setup step in order. ## 16. Do not cycle through synonyms Repeat the correct term when precision matters. Weak: > The customer submits a request. The user then receives a response. The account holder can review the result. Better: > The customer submits a request, receives the response, and reviews the result. Technical writing benefits from stable terminology. ## 17. Remove fake depth Watch for participial phrases that add interpretation without evidence: * highlighting * underscoring * reflecting * showcasing * symbolizing * fostering * contributing to * ensuring Weak: > The redesign uses blue and green, reflecting the company's commitment to trust and growth. Better: > The redesign uses blue and green. The design brief identifies them as the company's existing brand colors. Do not infer symbolism, intention, or significance without a source. ## 18. Avoid vague authority Do not write: * "Experts say..." * "Observers have noted..." * "Industry reports suggest..." * "Critics argue..." * "Research shows..." Name the source and state the finding. Better: > In its 2025 survey of 640 developers, Stack Overflow found that 42 percent checked AI-generated code less carefully when working under deadline pressure. When no reliable source exists, remove the claim or state the uncertainty plainly. ## 19. Avoid promotional language Documentation and factual writing should not sound like advertising. Remove phrases such as: * groundbreaking * vibrant * breathtaking * renowned * world-class * powerful and intuitive * rich history * commitment to excellence * exciting journey * bright future Replace praise with observable details. Weak: > The platform delivers a seamless and powerful experience. Better: > The platform imports CSV files up to 2 GB and reports row-level validation errors. ## 20. Use punctuation plainly Do not use em dashes. Replace them with: * a period for a separate thought * a comma for a short interruption * a colon for an explanation * parentheses for a true aside Do not use punctuation to manufacture drama. Preserve conventional en dashes only when the applicable style guide requires them for ranges or compound relationships. A house style may replace those too. ## 21. Keep formatting functional Avoid: * mechanical boldface * emojis in professional headings * title case for every heading * decorative callouts * a heading followed by a sentence that merely repeats it * repeated "Key takeaway" boxes * unnecessary conclusion sections Use sentence
