plain-language-notice-rewriter

What problem does it solve? Government notices routinely fail the people who receive them: they bury deadlines, lead with legal authority instead of consequences, and sit far above the reading level of their audience. This Skill rewrites notice templates into plain language while preserving every legally required element, producing a draft for human review. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured rewriting workflow: Inventories required legal elements first, restructures the notice (what happened, what it means, what to do, deadlines, help), then rewrites in second person, active voice, and short sentences. - Reading-level scoring: A bundled dependency-free Python script computes the Flesch-Kincaid grade level and flags the longest sentences driving the score, targeting grade 6-8 by default. - Compliance checklists and term swaps: Reference files provide required-element checklists by notice type (denial, information request, approval, deadline) and a table of bureaucratic-to-plain term replacements. - Use Case: A benefits agency needs to rewrite its denial letter template. The Skill inventories the required elements (determination, legal basis, appeal rights, deadlines), rewrites the letter at grade 7, verifies nothing was dropped, and outputs a draft with a human-review notice. ## Quick Start Rewrite the attached notice template into plain language at a grade 7 reading level while preserving all legally required elements.
