Edits and improves English business and professional writing using principles of information style — a reader-first editing approach developed by Maxim Ilyahov. The skill activates when the user asks to edit, review, clean up, tighten, or improve any business text: emails, landing pages, about pages, press releases, resumes, reports, slide decks, cold emails, social posts, or any professional copy. It also triggers on mentions of "information style", "infostyle", "Ilyahov", "Glavred", "red-flag words", "filler words", "bureaucratese", or on requests to cut the fluff, kill the clichés, make text "stronger", or rewrite in "plain language". Works for full editing passes and for targeted feedback. Can be applied to Russian text if the user explicitly asks.
