proofreadingProofread and correct text for grammar, spelling, punctuation, style, clarity, and consistency, with support for multiple style guides and readability analysis.
Proofreading is an agent skill from seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills. Proofread and correct text for grammar, spelling, punctuation, style, clarity, and consistency, with support for multiple style guides and readability analysis. Use when the user requests proofreading or provides relevant inputs for this workflow.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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 Copy editing and proofreading. The repository describes itself as: 103 ready-to-use AI agent skills for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and other Agent Skills-compatible tools. Complete SKILL.md… The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 75865a5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npmFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Proofreading loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,183 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.
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.

.claude/skills/proofreading/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).This skill enables an AI agent to systematically proofread text, catching errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, style, and consistency. The agent applies a structured multi-pass review process, supports standard style guides (AP, Chicago, APA, or custom house styles), and provides readability scoring alongside tone analysis. Output includes both the corrected text and an annotated summary of every change made.
Grammar Check Scan the text for grammatical errors including subject-verb agreement, incorrect tense usage, dangling modifiers, sentence fragments, run-on sentences, and misplaced clauses. Fix each error and record the original phrasing alongside the correction. Pay special attention to complex sentences where multiple clauses may introduce ambiguity.
Spelling and Word Choice Identify misspelled words, commonly confused homophones (e.g., "affect" vs. "effect," "their" vs. "there"), and incorrect word forms. Verify proper nouns and domain-specific terminology against the provided context or glossary. Flag any words that are spelled correctly but likely used in the wrong context.
Punctuation and Mechanics Review comma usage, semicolons, colons, em dashes, en dashes, hyphens, quotation marks, and apostrophes. Apply the rules of the specified style guide — for example, the Oxford comma for Chicago style but not for AP style. Correct misuse of ellipses, parentheses, and bracket nesting.
Style and Consistency Enforce consistent formatting throughout the document: heading capitalization (title case vs. sentence case), number formatting (numerals vs. spelled-out), abbreviation usage (define on first use), and list punctuation. Check for passive voice overuse and recommend active alternatives where the meaning would be clearer. Ensure consistent use of terminology — if "user interface" appears in one place and "UI" elsewhere, unify them.
Clarity and Readability Evaluate sentence length, paragraph structure, and overall readability. Flag sentences longer than 30 words for possible splitting. Identify jargon or overly complex vocabulary that could be simplified without losing precision. Calculate a readability score (Flesch-Kincaid or equivalent) and report it. Suggest structural improvements such as adding transition sentences or breaking up dense paragraphs.
Tone Analysis and Final Review Assess the overall tone (formal, conversational, academic, persuasive) and verify it matches the user's stated intent. Flag any jarring tonal shifts — for instance, a casual phrase in an otherwise formal report. Perform a final read-through to ensure all corrections integrate smoothly and no new errors were introduced during editing.
Provide the text to proofread along with any relevant context. Optionally specify:
Example prompt: "Proofread the following research abstract for APA style. Flag any passive voice usage and provide a readability score."
Input:
The study's participants was selected from a pool of undergraduate students, who where enrolled in a introductory psychology course. Data was collected over a 6 week period and analysed using a mix-methods approach. The researchers founded that participants that recieved the intervention showed signficant improvement, however those in the control group did not.
Corrected Output:
The study's participants were selected from a pool of undergraduate students who were enrolled in an introductory psychology course. Data were collected over a six-week period and analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. The researchers found that participants who received the intervention showed significant improvement; however, those in the control group did not.
Changes Made:
| # | Original | Correction | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | "participants was" | "participants were" | Subject-verb agreement |
| 2 | "who where" | "who were" | Homophone error |
| 3 | "a introductory" | "an introductory" | Article agreement (vowel sound) |
| 4 | "Data was" | "Data were" | "Data" is plural in academic writing (APA) |
| 5 | "6 week" | "six-week" | Spell out numbers under 10; hyphenate compound modifier |
| 6 | "analysed" | "analyzed" | American English spelling (APA default) |
| 7 | "mix-methods" | "mixed-methods" | Incorrect adjective form |
| 8 | "founded" | "found" | Wrong verb form |
| 9 | "participants that" | "participants who" | Use "who" for people |
| 10 | "recieved" | "received" | Spelling error |
| 11 | "signficant" | "significant" | Spelling error |
| 12 | "improvement, however" | "improvement; however," | Semicolon before conjunctive adverb |
Readability: Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level 14.2 (appropriate for academic audience).

npm install @acme/sdkin your terminal. After installing you need to initialise the client by callingAcmeClient()constructor and passing you're API key. Make sure the api key is stored securly and is not hard-coded in your source code, we reccommend using environment variables.

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Proofreading needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npm). Our summary lists: Node.js.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Proofreading is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
