reply-style

Fine to try.

How to talk to the user in chat — the opening line, the progress note between task phases, the final reply when the work is done, the final reply when a decision is needed, what never gets shortened, and the sentence rules that keep it readable. Applies to every reply; the prose plugin's hook reminds you each turn. Not for text addressed to other people or stored in files — that is technical-writing.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'reply-style' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'reply-style' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named reply-style already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/fprochazka/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f8750c74a054b9b10b10838dc052cf0d898671b4' -- 'plugins/prose/skills/reply-style' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/prose/skills/reply-style' ~/.agents/skills/'reply-style' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'reply-style' ~/.claude/skills/'reply-style' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
