What it does
Natural Writing En is an agent skill from mizchi/skills. English prose norm for writing explanatory text that does not read as machine-generated. One diagnostic axis (does a sentence update the situation or the document?) plus measured thresholds for burstiness, hedging, enumeration and paragraph openings, with corrections to widely-cited signals that false-positive on human technical writing. Use when drafting or revising English articles, docs, READMEs or long-form explanations, especially after an LLM produced the draft. For Japanese use natural-writing-ja; for…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Humanizing AI text, Technical documentation and Technical writing. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills by mizchi, distributed via APM.
When your agent uses it
- Revising English articles
- Long-form explanations
- Especially after an LLM produced the draft
Example prompts
- “/natural-writing-en”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Topic test. Every paragraph-opening sentence and every standalone short
- Deletion test. After each paragraph, name one specific thing learned — a
- Preamble sweep. Delete every "it's worth noting", "generally speaking",
- Beat check. Find runs of three or more sentences of similar length. Break
- Authority check. Every claim about what is known needs a name, number,
- Run the lint — python3 ../ai-index/scripts/slopscore.py draft.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62f5808. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
gist.github.comgithub.com
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
Natural Writing En loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 141 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,022 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,022 words (~3,905 tokens).
“Writing English explanatory prose that reads as written by someone, about something they did.”
