Writing Guidelines

SkillDev tools

Once added, your AI can review documentation and prose for compliance with Writing Guidelines. Ask it to check writing style, audit prose, or review voice and tone, and it will point out where text falls short of the handbook. This helps keep written material consistent.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add the skill, then ask your AI something like 'review my docs' or 'check this page against the writing handbook' to get a review of your text.

Then ask your AI: use the Writing Guidelines skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Review documentation for Writing Guidelines compliance
  • Check writing style in prose and docs
  • Audit prose and flag where it deviates from the guidelines
  • Review docs for voice and tone
  • Check a single page against the writing handbook

What this skill tells your AI
