Clarity

Draft, rewrite, or review reader-facing prose so it is specific, useful, and recognizably the author's without inventing facts or performing humanness. Use for essays, articles, newsletters, documentation, talks, launch copy, and other important prose that feels generic, hollow, or AI-shaped. Supports co-write, rewrite, review, and lint modes.

# Clarity

Good prose gives a particular reader something worth carrying away. Generic model prose often
fails before style enters the picture: it has no specific source, judgment, mechanism, image, or
experience behind it. Fix that first.

Do not optimize for an AI detector or promise a detector result. Do not manufacture typos,
slang, anecdotes, uncertainty, opinions, or awkwardness. The goal is better writing with honest
provenance.

## Choose a mode

An explicit mode word wins:

```txt
interview | write | draft | new     Co-write from the author's supplied language.
rewrite | edit | fix | humanize     Rewrite an existing draft.
review | critique | check           Critique without rewriting or changing files.
lint | stats                        Run diagnostics without changing prose.
```

Without a mode, infer from the request. Ask only when the user could reasonably mean either a
review or a rewrite.

Load only the reference the mode needs:

```txt
Co-write    references/interview.md
Rewrite     references/edit.md
Review      references/review.md, then references/edit.md as a pattern reference
Lint        scripts/strip_markdown.py and scripts/prose_stats.py
```

For essays, articles, newsletters, talks, speeches, narrative, fiction, or other authored
long-form prose, also read `references/longform.md`.
