What it does

Tone Fixer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Rewrite a message to the tone you actually want — less harsh, more confident, warmer, firmer, or shorter — without losing your point. Use when asked to make this sound less rude, soften this email, make me sound more confident, make this nicer/firmer, or fix the tone of a message. Produces two or three rewrites at the target tone, a note on exactly what was changed and why, and a flag if the original's tone was fine as-is.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to make this sound less rude
  • Soften this email
  • Make me sound more confident
  • Make this nicer/firmer

Example prompts

  • “/tone-fixer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Preserve the point and the facts. Tone-editing never changes what you're actually saying or the details.
  2. Find the tone-carriers. A few words do most of the damage — hedges ("just," "sorry to bother"), absolutes ("you always"), or curtness…
  3. Confidence = remove the apology tax. "I just think maybe we could…" → "I recommend we…". Drop the pre-emptive sorries.
  4. Warmth = acknowledge the person, not more words. One line of recognition beats a softer everything.
  5. Firm ≠ rude. Clear, direct, and calm; state the ask and the consequence without heat.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Tone Fixer loads about 837 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 427 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~837

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
Rewrite a message to the tone you actually want — less harsh, more confident, warmer, firmer, or shorter — without losing your point. Use when asked to make this sound less rude, soften this email, make me sound more confident, make this nicer/firmer, or fix the tone of a message. Produces two or three rewrites at the target tone, a note on exactly what was changed and why, and a flag if the original's tone was fine as-is.

Tone Fixer

The most-sent-and-deleted message in the world is the one where the words are right but the tone is off — too blunt, too apologetic, too eager, too cold. This keeps your meaning and your facts exactly, and only moves the register: it shows you the rewrite, names the specific phrases that were doing the damage, and won't invent problems if your draft was already fine.

What This Skill Produces

  • 2–3 rewrites at the requested tone (and a "dial it further" version if useful)
  • The change log — the exact words/phrases that set the wrong tone, and what they became
  • The honesty flag — if the original tone was already appropriate, it says so instead of over-editing

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The message — paste it
  • The target tone — less harsh / more confident / warmer / firmer / more formal / shorter (or describe it)
  • The context — who it's to and what's at stake (a boss, a customer, a landlord — the ceiling for "firm" shifts)

Framework: Move the Register, Not the Meaning

  1. Preserve the point and the facts. Tone-editing never changes what you're actually saying or the details.
  2. Find the tone-carriers. A few words do most of the damage — hedges ("just," "sorry to bother"), absolutes ("you always"), or curtness. Target those.
  3. Confidence = remove the apology tax. "I just think maybe we could…" → "I recommend we…". Drop the pre-emptive sorries.
  4. Warmth = acknowledge the person, not more words. One line of recognition beats a softer everything.
  5. Firm ≠ rude. Clear, direct, and calm; state the ask and the consequence without heat.

Output Format

Rewrites → [target tone]

Option A: … Option B (a touch more [tone]): …

What changed
Original phraseBecameWhy
Verdict
  • [If applicable] Your original was already appropriate for this context — here's a lighter touch, or leave it.

Quality Checks

  • Meaning and all facts are unchanged — only the register moved
  • The change log names specific phrases, not vague "made it nicer"
  • For "more confident": hedges and reflexive apologies were removed
  • For "firmer": still calm and professional, not aggressive
  • If the original tone was fine, that was stated rather than changes invented

Anti-Patterns

  • Changing the message's substance while "fixing tone."
  • Over-softening into mush — "warmer" shouldn't bury the ask.
  • Inventing problems to justify a rewrite when the draft was already right.
  • Making "firm" mean hostile — heat undermines authority.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Make this email sound less harsh: [paste]"
  • "Rewrite this so I sound more confident, not apologetic."
  • "Soften this message to my landlord but keep it firm."
  • "This came out rude — fix the tone: [paste]"
  • "Make this shorter and warmer."
