Claude Skills by risadams

Calibrate a drafted apology — strip reflexive over-apology, keep warranted accountability. Use when the user says "calibrate this apology", "am I over-apologizing", "apology check", "did I say sorry too much", or invokes /writing-apology-calibrator.

Shape an article as a journey of beats, choose-your-own-adventure style — write one beat, offer pivots, repeat until it ends. Use when the user has raw material and wants it assembled as a narrative rather than an argument.

Produce the first sentence of a message when the blank cursor is winning — two or three openings matched to relationship and goal, then step out. Use when the user says "cold open", "help me start this message", "how do I begin", or invokes /writing-cold-open.

Guide the user from raw idea or draft to a finished article through relentless questioning and iterative writing. Use when the user wants to write something from scratch and have it completed.

Reference for writing any document an agent consumes — a skill, an AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md, a doc reached by a pointer. Use when creating or editing a skill, writing agent-facing instructions, or modifying AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md.

Mine the user for raw writing fragments — claims, vignettes, sharp sentences, half- thoughts — and append them to one document as material for a future article. Use when the user wants to develop ideas before imposing structure, or mentions "fragments" or "raw material".

Remove signs of AI-generated writing — inflated symbolism, promotional language, vague attributions, em dash overuse, rule of three, AI vocabulary, negative parallelisms, filler. Use when editing or reviewing text to make it read as human-written.

Shape a file of raw material into an article through a conversational session — candidate openings, paragraph by paragraph, arguing format at each step. Use when the user has notes, fragments, or a rough draft and wants it turned into something publishable.

Generate a script for a dreaded social scenario — declining, asking for an extension, following up, setting a boundary — in two or three phrasings from direct to softened. Use when the user says "script for", "help me say", "how do I tell them", or invokes /writing- social-script.

Reverse decoder — paste a draft message and get a read on how it will land before you send. Flags blunt, cold, accidentally passive-aggressive, or over-apologetic patterns. Use when user says "tone check", "how does this sound", "before I send this", "will this land okay", "check this draft", or invokes /writing-tone-check.
