SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the cognitive tax and ambiguity caused by negatively-framed instructions in agent steer-prose, which often force readers to invert prohibitions into actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mechanical Debt Resolution: Automatically identifies negatively-framed idioms with unambiguous positive rewrites and provides suggested reframes.
  • Judgement-Tier Advisory: Flags soft-signal negative framing that requires human context, helping maintain a consistent, action-oriented tone across documentation.
  • CI-Ready Ratchet: Validates that new steer-prose changes do not introduce additional mechanical negative debt before they are committed.

Quick Start

Run the negframe score skill to analyze the current steer-prose corpus and generate a scorecard of mechanical debt and suggested improvements.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor agent steer-prose to remove negatively-framed directives?

Refactoring agent steer-prose involves identifying negatively-framed directives in documentation files like AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, then enforcing a positive-action lexicon that leads with affordances rather than prohibitions.

Why does negatively-framed documentation cause cognitive tax for agent steer-prose?

Negatively-framed instructions in agent steer-prose create cognitive tax and ambiguity by forcing readers to mentally invert prohibitions into positive actions, which hinders clear instruction execution.

What is mechanical debt tracking in documentation refactoring?

Mechanical debt tracking in documentation refactoring identifies negatively-framed idioms with unambiguous positive rewrites and generates suggested reframes to maintain an action-oriented tone.

How do I prevent negative framing regressions in CI for steer-prose changes?

Prevent negative framing regressions in CI by using a CI-ready ratchet that validates new steer-prose changes do not introduce additional mechanical negative debt before they are committed.

Can I automatically rewrite all negative prohibitions in AGENTS.md files?

You cannot automatically rewrite all negative prohibitions in AGENTS.md files because soft-signal negative framing requires human context and is flagged via judgement-tier advisory rather than automated resolution.
