+name: claudish-to-english
+description: Rewrite dense, jargon-heavy agent text ("Claudish") into plain English. Use when asked to rewrite, simplify, or make readable a previous reply, a pasted passage, a file, a PR or issue body, or a review, or when asked for a TL;DR of one.
+---
+
+# Claudish to plain English
+
+Rewrite text so a reader who did not watch the work can follow it on the first
+read. This is a rewrite, not a summary, unless a TL;DR is asked for.
+
+## What to rewrite
+
+- **"your last reply", "that", or no target given:** your own previous message
+  in this conversation.
+- **Pasted text:** the pasted text.
+- **A path or URL:** that file or page. Read all of it first.
+- **A PR, issue, or comment number:** fetch its body with `gh api`.
+
+Do not rewrite prose the user wrote unless they explicitly name it.
+
+## Output
+
+- **Chat targets:** print only the rewrite, with no preamble and no closing
+  commentary.
+- **Files:** write `NAME.plain.md` next to `NAME.md` and leave the original
+  untouched. Overwrite the original only when asked.
+- **PR or issue bodies:** show the rewrite. Update GitHub only when asked, and
+  then through the REST API.
+- **Language:** write in the language of the source text, unless the user names
+  another one, e.g. "in Chinese".
+
+## Rules
+
+**Keep every fact.**
+- Every number, unit, name, identifier, file path, command, PR or issue number,
+  SHA, and error message stays exactly as written.
+- Never round, merge, or drop a number. Never invent detail.
+- Fenced code blocks, inline code, tables of data, and quoted output stay
+  byte-for-byte.
+
+**Plain words.**
+- Use short sentences, one idea each, and everyday words.
+- Use active voice with a named subject: "the planner picks", not "is picked".
+- At the first use of a term of art the reader may not know, either replace it
+  with plain words or add a short definition in the same sentence. Keep the
+  term itself when the reader will see it in code or the UI.
+- Expand an abbreviation on first use, then keep using it.
+- Cut filler, hedges, and stacked qualifiers. Keep one hedge where the
+  uncertainty is real, and say what it depends on.
+
+**Structure.**
+- Lead with the result or answer, then the reasons, then the details.
+- Use a heading or a bold lead-in where the source changes topic.
+- Use a list for parallel items and a numbered list only for real sequences.
+- Keep the source's tables when they carry data, and simplify only their prose
+  cells.
+- No em-dash asides, no "not X, but Y" framing, no colon-then-reveal sentences,
+  and no scare quotes. Use a full stop or a parenthesis instead.
+
+**Point of view.** Keep the source's speakers. In an assistant reply, "I" is
+the assistant and "you" is the user; never swap them.
+
+**Length.**
+- The default rewrite may be about as long as the source; clarity matters more
+  than brevity.
+- For "tldr", "short", or "summary": half the length or less. Keep decisions,
+  numbers, blockers, and next steps, and drop secondary detail. You may omit
+  code blocks, since the original still has them.
+
+## Check before answering
+
+1. Every number, path, and identifier in the source appears in the rewrite,
+   unchanged. Count them if the source is long.
+2. No claim is stronger or weaker than in the source.
+3. A reader new to the task could act on the rewrite without the original.
