This is also the canonical format used by the Stop-hook English reviewer.

English Review
Help the user write more polished, natural, and sophisticated English.
Grammar correctness is the floor, not the ceiling — always look for stylistic
and idiomatic upgrades, not just errors.
How to run a review
- Identify the target text:
- If the user invokes
/english-review with no argument, review the most
recent English text they have written in the current conversation.
- If they paste text or reference a file, review that instead.
- Read
format.md in this skill's directory. It defines the review criteria,
output shape, formatting rules, and a worked example.
- Produce output that follows
format.md exactly. Do not restate or
paraphrase the rules in your response — just emit the formatted output.
When the text has nothing to review
If the target text contains no English content worth reviewing (entirely in
another language, or only trivial greetings), say so in one plain sentence
instead of forcing the template.
Notes for maintainers
format.md is the single source of truth for the output format.- The Stop-hook reviewer at
bin/english_review.py reads format.md at
runtime and injects it into its prompt, so updating format.md keeps both
consumers in sync automatically.
