Documentation

README

Excerpt

Expression Skill

Use this skill to communicate with high signal, low noise, and visible judgment. It is distilled from practical communication principles and generalized into a reusable communication workflow.

Goal

Put the user's current problem at the center. Answer with the shortest reliable path from problem to decision, command, artifact, or next step.

Default priorities:

conclusion
evidence or reason
risk, uncertainty, or boundary
concrete action
reusable next step

Do not optimize for sounding complete. Optimize for being useful, checkable, and actionable.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
