Find and manage a personal library of illustrations — stories, quotes, analogies, stats, and examples — to sharpen writing. Supports two modes: ADD MODE: Save a new illustration to the local bank. Triggers on: "/illustration-add", "add illustration", "save this story to my illustration bank", "add this to my illustration bank", "save this example", "add this quote". FIND MODE: Search for illustrations to use in writing. Triggers on: "/illustration-find", "find an illustration", "illustration for [topic]", "do I have a story about", "find me an example of", "search my illustration bank". Add "--web" flag to also search the internet for stories, quotes, and case studies. Web results are cited in Turabian style. Global bank: ~/.claude/illustration-bank.md (persists across all projects). Project banks: ./illustration-bank.md in any project directory (separate context per project).

Analyze writing for readability and clarity using the Automated Readability Index (ARI). Runs an objective, sentence-level analysis that scores grade level, flags hard-to-read sentences, and detects adverbs, qualifiers, passive voice, and complex words with simpler synonyms. Use when asked to: check readability, run a clarity pass, analyze a draft, score sentence complexity, check grade level, or improve writing clarity. Triggers on: "clarity check", "readability check", "run clarity-editor", "check this draft", "grade level", "hard sentences", "adverb check", or "is this easy to read".

Grade text for grammar quality and correctness. Detects em dashes, sentence fragments, subject/verb disagreement, tense inconsistency, passive voice overuse, pronoun ambiguity, punctuation errors, and more. Outputs a letter grade (A–F) and auto-fails (F) on em dashes or sentence fragments. Use when proofreading, reviewing drafts, checking writing quality, or grading text.
