tone-fixer
Rewrite a message to the tone you actually want — less harsh, more confident, warmer, firmer, or shorter — without losing your point. Use when asked to make this sound less rude, soften this email, make me sound more confident, make this nicer/firmer, or fix the tone of a message. Produces two or three rewrites at the target tone, a note on exactly what was changed and why, and a flag if the original's tone was fine as-is.
npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill tone-fixer --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tone Fixer The most-sent-and-deleted message in the world is the one where the words are right but the tone is off — too blunt, too apologetic, too eager, too cold. This keeps your meaning and your facts exactly, and only moves the register: it shows you the rewrite, names the specific phrases that were doing the damage, and won't invent problems if your draft was already fine. ## What This Skill Produces - **2–3 rewrites** at the requested tone (and a "dial it further" version if useful) - **The change log** — the exact words/phrases that set the wrong tone, and what they became - **The honesty flag** — if the original tone was already appropriate, it says so instead of over-editing ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The message** — paste it - **The target tone** — less harsh / more confident / warmer / firmer / more formal / shorter (or describe it) - **The context** — who it's to and what's at stake (a boss, a customer, a landlord — the ceiling for "firm" shifts) ## Framework: Move the Register, Not the Meaning 1. **Preserve the point and the facts.** Tone-editing never changes what you're actually saying or the details. 2. **Find the tone-carriers.** A few

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

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.
