What it does
Professional Proofreader is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Use when a user asks to "proofread", "review and correct", "fix grammar", "improve readability while keeping my voice", and to proofread a document file and save an updated version.
Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/file-processing-mode.md` and `references/inline-text-mode.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Copy editing and proofreading and Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A user asks to proofread
- Review and correct
- Improve readability while keeping my voice
- To proofread a document file and save an updated version
Example prompts
- “proofread”
- “review and correct”
- “fix grammar”
- “/professional-proofreader”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Inline Text Mode
- File Processing Mode
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e53ce2. 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
Professional Proofreader loads about 800 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 354 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.

Professional Proofreader
Overview
This skill transforms flawed writing — whether pasted text or uploaded documents — into publication-ready prose without altering the author’s intent. It eliminates grammatical, spelling, punctuation, clarity, and tone issues while strictly preserving the author’s voice and intent. Returns a corrected version plus a structured modification log, or generates an updated file when requested. Not for code editing or technical refactoring.
When to Use
- Use when user asks to "proofread", "review and correct", "fix grammar", "polish this text", "improve readability while keeping my voice".
- Use when user asks to proofread a document file (like .docx, .pdf, .txt) and save the updated version as new file with 'UPDATED_' prefix.
WORKFLOW MODES
This skill operates in two modes:
- Inline Text Mode
- File Processing Mode
MODE 1: Inline Text
Refer markdown for complete inline text mode.
MODE 2: File Processing
Trigger when user says:
- "Proofread [filename].[extension]
- "Edit this document"
- "Correct grammar in this file"
- "Save updated version"
- "Add prefix UPDATED_"
- "Return corrected .[extension]"
Refer markdown for complete file processing mode.
Best Practices

- Always follow below editing standards:

- Maintain original spelling variant (US/UK)
Show full SKILL.md (139 more words)Show less
Punctuation
- Commas
- Apostrophes
- Quotation marks
- Sentence boundaries
Style & Tone
- Maintain author voice
- Avoid unnecessary formalization
- Preserve rhetorical choices
Readability
- Improve structure
- Enhance logical flow
- Remove redundancy
❌ Don't: [What to avoid]
- Never alter meaning.
- Never drop formatting intentionally.
- Never change file name logic beyond request.
- Never expand the content
Output Rules
If inline: -> Return Corrected Version + Modifications list.
If file rewrite: -> Save updated file. -> Confirm filename. -> Provide modifications list unless suppressed.
Give friendly message to user in the end.
Example
User request:
Proofread this text for grammar, clarity, consistency, and readability while preserving my voice.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
