SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Dense, dashboard-style AI responses force users to decode tables, emoji keys, and jargon before they can act. This Skill enforces a consistent conversational writing style so every summary, triage report, and daily-prep output is immediately readable and actable. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plain-language rules: Short sentences, active voice, simple words, and no filler openers across all user-facing output. - Structure constraints: Leads with the answer, caps urgent lists at five items, bans tables in spoken replies, and limits emoji use. - Configurable behavior: Honors settings like useEmojis, celebrateWins, and a structured mode for users who prefer headed sections. - Use Case: Before an agent presents a morning Jira triage or inbox-zero summary, load this Skill so the output reads like a colleague's briefing rather than a metrics dashboard, including when read aloud by text-to-speech. ## Quick Start Load the response-style skill before writing any user-facing summary so the output follows plain-language, low-cognitive-load formatting rules.

Frequently Asked Questions about response-style

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI assistant responses easier to read?▼

Apply a response style guide that mandates short sentences, simple words, active voice, and answer-first structure. This Skill enforces those rules on every user-facing summary, triage report, and daily-prep output.

How to format AI summaries for text-to-speech output?▼

Avoid tables, emoji headers, and pipe characters, which become noise when spoken aloud. This Skill bans tables in spoken replies and keeps structure linear so text-to-speech hooks read responses naturally.

Can I disable emojis in assistant responses?▼

Yes, set `useEmojis: false` in the plugin configuration and no emoji will appear at all. By default the style allows at most one emoji per section and never uses colored circles as priority keys.

Does this style apply to emails the assistant drafts for me?▼

No, the plain-language rules govern how the assistant talks to you, not what it writes on your behalf. Drafted emails, Slack replies, and ticket comments use a normal professional tone instead.

Can I use structured tables instead of conversational output?▼

Yes, set the response style option to `structured` to allow headed sections and tables. The default `conversational` mode applies the plain-language rules described in this Skill.
