What it does
Rewrite is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills. Rewrite content in plain language while preserving meaning. Chains: readable-content, link-text-design. Use when given content that is too complex, jargon-heavy, or inaccessible for the target audience.
Its SKILL.md is about 510 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 Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: Inclusive design skills for AI coding agents — from cognitive accessibility to adaptive interfaces, inclusive research, and accessibility decision-making. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Given content that is too complex
- Inaccessible for the target audience
Example prompts
- “/rewrite”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e0740f. 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
Rewrite loads about 508 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 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.

- rewrite
- description
- Rewrite content in plain language while preserving meaning. Chains: readable-content, link-text-design. Use when given content that is too complex, jargon-heavy, or inaccessible for the target audience.
Rewrite for Accessibility
Take existing content and rewrite it to be accessible to people with diverse cognitive abilities and literacy levels — without losing accuracy or meaning.
Process
Step 1: Assess Current Readability
Using readable-content, evaluate:
- Current reading level
- Sentence and paragraph length
- Jargon and specialist terms
- Content structure and scannability
Step 2: Identify the Core Message
For each section, answer: what is the one thing the reader must understand? Write that down in one plain sentence. This becomes the opening line of the rewritten section.
Step 3: Rewrite
- Replace jargon with plain alternatives
- Shorten sentences to 15–20 words
- One idea per sentence, one topic per paragraph
- Front-load each paragraph with the key point
- Use active voice throughout
- Address the reader as "you"
- Add examples to clarify abstract concepts
Step 4: Fix Links
Using link-text-design, rewrite any link text that doesn't make sense on its own. Replace "click here" and "read more" with descriptive link text.
Step 5: Present Before and After
Show the original alongside the rewrite with annotations explaining each change. Include the reading level of both versions.
Rules
- Never sacrifice accuracy for simplicity — if a term is essential, keep it and define it
- Don't condescend — plain language is clear language, not childish language
- Preserve the author's intent and tone where possible
- Flag any content where simplification might change the legal or technical meaning — let the team decide those tradeoffs
Output
Deliver the rewritten content with:
- Reading level of original vs. rewrite
- Change log of significant edits with rationale
- Flagged passages where meaning may have shifted
