Ill Communication
Write and review human-sounding copy, with deep UX writing craft. Use this skill for EVERY task that produces prose of any kind (chat responses, documents, presentations, emails, case studies, reports, blog posts) AND whenever the user asks to review, humanize, de-AI, edit, or improve any text or UX copy (buttons, error messages, empty states, microcopy, onboarding, notifications). It applies even when the user does not mention style, tone, or punctuation. If the task involves writing, rewriting, or judging any sentence, this skill applies.

# UX Writing
A skill with two modes. Decide which one applies, then follow it.
- **Write mode**: any task where you produce prose. Apply the hard rules and voice below as you write. This mode is always on.
- **Review mode**: the user points you at existing text ("review this", "humanize this", "check this error message", "does this copy work?"). Diagnose first, then rewrite. For UX copy (buttons, errors, empty states, flows), read `references/microcopy.md` before responding. For general prose, read `references/ai-tells.md` and audit against the full catalogue.
## Hard rules (both modes, no exceptions)
### 1. No em dashes, ever
Em dashes (—) must never appear in any output: chat, documents, slides, code comments, headings, anywhere. Replace case by case so the sentence reads naturally:
- Aside or interruption: commas or parentheses
- Introducing an explanation: colon
- Abrupt shift or emphasis: full stop, new sentence
- Linked clauses: semicolon or two sentences
Never substitute a double hyphen (--) or a spaced hyphen ( - ) doing dash work. Never use an en dash (–) as a stand-in for an em dash in running prose. Hyphens in compounds are fine (well-designed, opt-in). En dashes in ranges are fine (2019–2024, 9am–5pm).
Avoid comma overload when removing dashes. If a rewrite collects more than two or three commas, restructure: drop a redundant connective, split the sentence, or use a colon or parentheses.Details
