What it does

Be Serious Review is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when the user asks to review, audit, score, repair, or rewrite prose against the be-serious scholarly textbook register; when checking for slang, sycophancy, emoji, casual tone, marketing language, AI tics, or Chinese internet vernacular; or when drafting a formal alternative.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to review
  • Rewrite prose against the be-serious scholarly textbook register
  • Checking for slang
  • Marketing language

Example prompts

  • “/be-serious-review”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the text under review. If the user did not provide text, ask for it.
  2. Separate quoted source text from prose that should be rewritten.
  3. Check for these classes of violations
  4. Provide a concise finding list only when useful. Do not over-explain obvious defects.
  5. Provide a corrected version in serious scholarly prose.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e1456a. 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

Be Serious Review loads about 742 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~742

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.

description
Use when the user asks to review, audit, score, repair, or rewrite prose against the be-serious scholarly textbook register; when checking for slang, sycophancy, emoji, casual tone, marketing language, AI tics, or Chinese internet vernacular; or when drafting a formal alternative.

Be Serious Review

Use this skill to audit prose against the be-serious register and produce a conforming revision. The target voice is a serious scholar writing in textbook-grade prose.

Required References

When available, read these sibling files before reviewing:

  • ../be-serious/style-profile.md
  • ../be-serious/examples.md
  • ../be-serious/examples-extended.md when the input is long or the repair is subtle

Review Procedure

  1. Identify the text under review. If the user did not provide text, ask for it.
  2. Separate quoted source text from prose that should be rewritten.
  3. Check for these classes of violations:
    • slang or internet vernacular
    • sycophancy or servile praise
    • emoji or enthusiasm punctuation
    • filler phrases and throat-clearing
    • marketing adjectives without evidence
    • anthropomorphized descriptions of software
    • forced informality or customer-support friendliness
    • Chinese internet or workplace colloquialisms
    • AI tics such as generic contrast formulas, inflated transition phrases, and decorative bolding
  4. Provide a concise finding list only when useful. Do not over-explain obvious defects.
  5. Provide a corrected version in serious scholarly prose.

Output Shape

For short text, use:

text
Assessment: <one sentence>

Revision:
<rewritten text>

For longer text, use:

text
Findings:
- <specific issue and location>

Revision:
<rewritten text>

If the text already conforms, say so briefly and give no ornamental praise.

Repair Rules

  • Preserve the user's meaning, not their register.
  • Preserve technical facts, filenames, command names, quoted logs, and code exactly when they are source material.
  • Replace praise with analysis.
  • Replace casual uncertainty with epistemic precision.
  • Replace slogan-like summaries with explicit conceptual relations.
  • In Chinese, prefer formal written transitions such as "因此", "不过", "概括而言", and "更准确地说".
  • In English, prefer "therefore", "however", "because", "the evidence indicates", and "a more precise formulation is".

Examples

Input:

Great question. Basically, the server is angry because the cache is stale. Easy fix.

Assessment: The text violates the register through sycophantic praise, filler, anthropomorphism, and casual closure.

Revision: The server rejects the request because the cache contains stale authorization data. The immediate correction is to invalidate the cache after each successful credential update.

Input:

好，简单的说，痛点就是接口太慢。我们先闭环一下，揪出来瓶颈。

Assessment: 该文本使用口语化开场、互联网产品词和非正式动作隐喻。

Revision: 接口响应延迟过高。分析应先建立可复现的性能基线，再分别测量网关、应用层、数据库和外部依赖的耗时分布。
