SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Documents and drafts written outside a structured workflow often bury the main point, use vague headings, and pack multiple ideas into long sentences. This Skill applies a shared readability standard to prose you already have without altering any facts, code, diagrams, or citation identifiers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fact-preserving rewrite: Dispatches a readability-editor agent that rewrites prose so the main point comes first, headings are descriptive, and sentences stay short and active, while returning a fact-preservation ledger. - Flexible targets: Works on a file on disk (edited in place after confirmation), text pasted into the prompt, or a draft already produced in the conversation. - Reader and shape awareness: Carries a named target reader and any requested shape (length, format, register) into the rewrite, and supports a configurable writing-voice profile from project or personal config. - Use Case: You have a hand-written incident report that rambles. Point the Skill at the file, and it rewrites the prose in place, reporting which regions were left untouched and confirming no fact was lost. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to edit the file docs/incident-report.md for readability and confirm the in-place rewrite when prompted.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make an existing document more readable without losing facts?▼

Point the Skill at the file, pasted text, or conversation draft. It dispatches a readability-editor agent that rewrites prose so the main point comes first and sentences stay short, while returning a fact-preservation ledger confirming nothing was dropped.

What kinds of targets can this readability editor work on?▼

It accepts three target kinds: a file on disk edited in place, text pasted directly into the prompt, or a draft already produced in the conversation. Pasted text and drafts are copied verbatim to a scratch file before editing.

Does the readability rewrite change code blocks or citations?▼

No. The editor rewrites prose regions only and leaves code fences, diagram bodies, rendered markup, and citation identifiers like A1 or [F5] byte-for-byte unchanged.

Can I specify a target reader or writing style for the rewrite?▼

Yes. You can name a specific reader, such as a PR reviewer or non-technical stakeholder, and request a shape like a length limit or bullet format. A writing-voice profile can also be configured via project or personal .han/config.md files.

When should I not use this readability editing skill?▼

Do not use it to write new feature or system documentation, restructure code, or review code quality. It only rewrites existing prose and never judges the underlying work or raises findings.
