writing-guidelines
Apply clear-writing standards to any prose the agent produces - READMEs, docs, UI copy, error messages, commit and PR text, release notes. Use when writing or editing documentation, interface copy, or any text a human will read. Says "write the README", "improve this copy", "draft the docs", "word this error".

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.
# writing-guidelines Write for a reader who is busy and did not see your work.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add rohitg00/pro-workflow --skill writing-guidelines --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From rohitg00/pro-workflow, a repository with 2,760 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.
