editing

100 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try.

By nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection (GitHub) · writing · 36 stars · scanned at commit 1691932

Use when editing prose for clarity and force. Covers cutting, structural editing, the specific constructions that weaken writing, and editing someone else's work without destroying their voice. Trigger on "tighten this draft", "make this read better", "cut this to 800 words", "edit this without changing my voice". Do not use for writing a piece from scratch — see the long-form-content skill.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

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/'editing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'editing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named editing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1691932edc17063d712a85d02bcc7a1cd3791057' -- 'skills/writing/editing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/writing/editing' ~/.agents/skills/'editing' && 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/'editing' ~/.claude/skills/'editing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
