Reshape prose so a scanning reader gets the point: bottom line first, no more words than the meaning needs, structure that survives scanning, factual tone. Two modes. Invoked bare it sets a standing posture for everything written afterwards; given any target it reshapes that text and reports before and after word counts. Never drops a decision, number, ask, error or warning, and never edits an already-posted record in place unless told to. Use when: 'write this for the PO', 'shorten this ticket…

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'be-concise' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'be-concise' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named be-concise already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/writing/skills/be-concise' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/writing/skills/be-concise' ~/.agents/skills/'be-concise' && 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/'be-concise' ~/.claude/skills/'be-concise' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
