Prad Nukala 6406208b35 shell: fish functions -> ~/.local/bin executables + bash/zsh ports; manage ~/.agents
- 16 cross-shell utilities converted to sh/bash chezmoi executables:
  ai c2p cp-appid extract_agents fab gdc gh-sonr-org-migrate ghg-clone
  ghn gho git-summary launch_omp_livediff_overlay lc-elir mdcp mdp pj
  (ghg-clone not named ghg: unrelated cargo binary owns that name)
- cwd/history helpers stay per-shell: yy c cd clip-last + ghg/ghn/gho
  cd-wrappers in bash/functions/ and zsh/functions/, loaded by rc files
- fish keeps only shell-state functions; converted ones now hit PATH
- cp-appid ignore gating moved to .local/bin path
- dot_agents/skills: 82 skills materialized from dotstate storage so
  dot_claude skill symlinks resolve on fresh bootstrap; dotstate

What this is

AI writing has patterns. Predictable phrases, structures, rhythms. This skill teaches Claude (or any LLM) to catch and remove them.

API calls: Include SKILL.md in your system prompt. Reference files load on demand.

What it catches

Banned phrases - Throat-clearing openers, emphasis crutches, business jargon, all adverbs, vague declaratives, meta-commentary. See references/phrases.md.

Structural clichés - Binary contrasts, negative listings, dramatic fragmentation, rhetorical setups, false agency, narrator-from-a-distance voice, passive voice. See references/structures.md.

Sentence-level rules - No Wh- sentence starters, no em dashes, no staccato fragmentation, no lazy extremes, active voice required.

Scoring

Rate 1-10 on each dimension:

Dimension Question
Directness Statements or announcements?
Rhythm Varied or metronomic?
Trust Respects reader intelligence?
Authenticity Sounds human?
Density Anything cuttable?

Below 35/50: revise.
