The Writing Guidelines skill is designed to help users review their documents and prose for compliance with established writing standards. By utilizing a pinned set of guidelines found in references/guidelines.md, this skill provides a reliable way to audit writing style, voice, and tone. Users can invoke the skill by requesting a review of their documents, ensuring that their writing adheres to the specified guidelines.

The skill operates by loading the pinned guidelines as a default execution path, which guarantees reproducibility across different runtime environments. Users have the option to fetch the latest guidelines from an upstream URL, allowing them to stay updated with any changes in writing standards. This feature is particularly useful for teams that need to maintain consistency in their documentation while also adapting to evolving guidelines.

When a user specifies files for review, the skill reads those files and checks them against all rules outlined in the guidelines. The findings are presented in a concise file:line format, making it easy for users to identify areas that require attention. If no files are provided, the skill prompts the user to specify which documents to review, ensuring a user-friendly experience.

This skill is ideal for writers, editors, and teams focused on maintaining high-quality documentation. It streamlines the review process, saving time and enhancing the overall quality of written materials by ensuring compliance with established writing standards.
