Use before producing any English text the user signs — READMEs, PRs, issues, PR and issue comments, code comments, emails, blog posts, human-facing docs — drafted or rewritten at native fluency in the voice of the skill's author, Vinta Chen. Fires mid-task too: a comment drafted inside another skill's workflow, or text the user will approve before it ships. Not for text addressed to agents unless the user asks

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/'write-like-me' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'write-like-me' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named write-like-me already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/vinta/hal-9000' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'ada6eb5ed0de3020027c7a59e5d0aeb76889528d' -- 'skills/write-like-me' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/write-like-me' ~/.agents/skills/'write-like-me' && 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/'write-like-me' ~/.claude/skills/'write-like-me' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
