What it does
Prose Writer is an agent skill from Devolutions/devolutions-gateway. Write concise, human-first prose with one sentence per source line. Use whenever generating or substantially rewriting Markdown, AsciiDoc, plain-text documentation, release notes, user-facing explanations, or other hand-maintained prose.
Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: A blazing fast relay server adaptable to different protocols and desired levels of traffic inspection. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Substantially rewriting Markdown
- Plain-text documentation
- User-facing explanations
- Other hand-maintained prose
Example prompts
- “/prose-writer”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 81a3141. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Prose Writer loads about 370 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 174 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from Devolutions/devolutions-gateway at commit 81a3141, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© Devolutions). 174 words, ~370 tokens.

Prose writer
Lead with what the reader needs to know or do. Use direct sentences, concrete verbs, familiar words, and the shortest phrasing that preserves meaning. Remove throat-clearing, repetition, inflated wording, and details already clear from context. Keep each paragraph focused on one idea and order ideas by reader need rather than implementation history. Preserve necessary nuance, technical terms, warnings, and the document's established voice.
In source formats where newlines render as spaces, start each sentence on its own line and do not hard-wrap a sentence. Do not apply that convention to code blocks, tables, headings, link definitions, generated files, or formats where line breaks affect rendering.
Write the requested prose directly instead of discussing these rules unless the user asks. Prefer no net word-count growth when rewriting existing prose without adding requested information. Accept small growth only when it materially improves clarity without duplicating information. Treat source line breaks as formatting, not justification for growth. Before finishing, reread from the reader's perspective and remove anything that does not help them understand or act.
