SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many outputs—especially AI-generated text—use American spellings, corporate buzzwords, em dashes, and stiff phrasing that make them sound robotic or inauthentic. This skill enforces a consistent Australian English style, removes common AI-tell words and phrases, and shapes tone so the reader hears a real human voice.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Australian English enforcement: Converts or prefers -ise, -our, and -ence spellings where appropriate and treats "program" vs "programme" per context.
  • Banned AI-tell words: Detects and removes a curated list of words and phrases (e.g., leverage, seamless, ecosystem) that make prose sound like an LLM.
  • Punctuation and tone rules: Disallows em dashes, prefers contractions in casual contexts, shortens long sentences, and encourages varied rhythm.
  • Self-check step: Scans the final output for banned words, American spellings, em dashes, and repetitive sentence structures and fixes violations before delivery.
  • Use cases: Ideal for editing emails, Slack pings, blog posts, reports, presentations, customer replies, and cleaning up AI-generated drafts.
