Beautiful Prose (Claude Skill) workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs A hard-edged writing style contract for timeless, forceful English prose without modern AI tics. Use when users ask for prose or rewrites that must be clean, exact, concrete, and free of AI cadence, filler, or therapeutic tone and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/beautiful-prose from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Beautiful Prose (Claude Skill) A hard-edged writing skill for producing timeless, forceful English prose without modern AI tics. This is a style contract, not a vibe. Treat violations as failures.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: What this skill does, Activation, Absolute prohibitions, Positive constraints, Registers (optional), Quality bar.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
You need prose or rewrites with strong style discipline and no generic AI cadence.
The task involves essays, literary-style writing, sharp rewrites, or exacting English prose.
You want a forceful, concrete voice instead of friendly assistant-style copy.
Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: A hard-edged writing style contract for timeless, forceful English prose without modern AI tics. Use when users ask for prose or rewrites that must be clean, exact, concrete, and free of AI cadence, filler, or....
Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
Operating Table
Situation
Start here
Why it matters
First-time use
metadata.json
Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow
Provenance review
ORIGIN.md
Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source
Workflow execution
SKILL.md
Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution
Supporting context
SKILL.md
Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package

Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.
Imported Workflow Notes
Imported: What this skill does
When active, write prose that is:
clean, exact, muscular
readable at speed, rewarding on reread
concrete, image-bearing, verb-forward
confident without bombast
free of modern content-marketing cadence
No filler. No "helpful assistant" tone. No therapy voice.
Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @beautiful-prose-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @beautiful-prose-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @beautiful-prose-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @beautiful-prose-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Good
"It is complex. Complexity is not an excuse for fog."
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
Plain text prose by default.
No headings unless requested.
No bullet points unless requested.
If the user requests bullets, keep them taut and non-corporate.
Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.

Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/beautiful-prose, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
