SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the cognitive tax and ambiguity caused by negatively-framed instructions in agent steer-prose, which often force readers to invert prohibitions into actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mechanical Debt Resolution: Automatically identifies negatively-framed idioms with unambiguous positive rewrites and provides suggested reframes.
  • Judgement-Tier Advisory: Flags soft-signal negative framing that requires human context, helping maintain a consistent, action-oriented tone across documentation.
  • CI-Ready Ratchet: Validates that new steer-prose changes do not introduce additional mechanical negative debt before they are committed.

Quick Start

Run the negframe score skill to analyze the current steer-prose corpus and generate a scorecard of mechanical debt and suggested improvements.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor agent steer-prose to remove negatively-framed directives?▼

Refactoring agent steer-prose involves identifying negatively-framed directives in documentation files like AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, then enforcing a positive-action lexicon that leads with affordances rather than prohibitions.

Why does negatively-framed documentation cause cognitive tax for agent steer-prose?▼

Negatively-framed instructions in agent steer-prose create cognitive tax and ambiguity by forcing readers to mentally invert prohibitions into positive actions, which hinders clear instruction execution.

What is mechanical debt tracking in documentation refactoring?▼

Mechanical debt tracking in documentation refactoring identifies negatively-framed idioms with unambiguous positive rewrites and generates suggested reframes to maintain an action-oriented tone.

How do I prevent negative framing regressions in CI for steer-prose changes?▼

Prevent negative framing regressions in CI by using a CI-ready ratchet that validates new steer-prose changes do not introduce additional mechanical negative debt before they are committed.

Can I automatically rewrite all negative prohibitions in AGENTS.md files?▼

You cannot automatically rewrite all negative prohibitions in AGENTS.md files because soft-signal negative framing requires human context and is flagged via judgement-tier advisory rather than automated resolution.
