Writing with Claude is almost always better with structure. This pack gives Claude a writing process — plan, draft, tighten — instead of immediately spitting out 500 words of mush.
What you can do with this pack
- Plan a piece before writing
- Draft with a clear outline and voice
- Tighten bloated prose without losing voice
- Rewrite in a different register
- Get structured feedback on a draft
Skills in this pack
Writing Planner
Plan a piece of writing before drafting — angle, structure, claims, examples. Trigger on 'plan this piece', 'outline first', 'before writing', 'writing plan', or when the user is about to write something non-trivial.
Prose Tightener
Tighten existing prose — cut filler, reduce hedging, prefer concrete words — without losing the writer's voice. Trigger on 'tighten this', 'cut the fat', 'edit for concision', 'too wordy', or when the user has a draft and wants it leaner.
Voice Feedback Giver
Give a writer structured feedback on a draft — voice, clarity, structure, stakes. Trigger on 'feedback on this', 'review my draft', 'critique my writing', 'what's missing', or when the user wants editorial-level feedback.

FAQ
What is a Claude skill?
A Claude skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file. It tells Claude when to trigger the skill and how to execute the task. Skills live inside your Claude account once uploaded.
Do these work on Free, Pro and Max plans?
Yes, as long as code execution is enabled. On Team and Enterprise plans, an admin needs to enable skills at the organisation level first.
Can I edit the skills?
Yes — the skills are plain markdown files. Open SKILL.md in any editor and change the description, steps, templates, or output format to match how you work.
Do I need all the skills in the pack?
No. Upload only the ones you'll use. Too many active skills makes Claude less precise about which one to pick.
