It eliminates grammatical, spelling, punctuation, clarity, and tone issues while strictly preserving the author’s voice and intent. Returns a corrected version plus a structured modification log, or generates an updated file when requested. Not for code editing or technical refactoring. --- ## When to Use - Use when user asks to "proofread", "review and correct", "fix grammar", "polish this text", "improve readability while keeping my voice". - Use when user asks to proofread a document file (like .docx, .pdf, .txt) and save the updated version as new file with 'UPDATED_' prefix. --- # WORKFLOW MODES This skill operates in two modes: 1.

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
