Eliminate predictable AI writing patterns from prose.
Cut filler phrases. Remove throat-clearing openers, emphasis crutches, and all adverbs. See references/phrases.md.
Break formulaic structures. Avoid binary contrasts, negative listings, dramatic fragmentation, rhetorical setups, false agency. See references/structures.md.
Use active voice. Every sentence needs a human subject doing something. No passive constructions. No inanimate objects performing human actions ("the complaint becomes a fix").
Be specific. No vague declaratives ("The reasons are structural"). Name the specific thing. No lazy extremes ("every," "always," "never") doing vague work.
Put the reader in the room. No narrator-from-a-distance voice. "You" beats "People." Specifics beat abstractions.
Vary rhythm. Mix sentence lengths. Two items beat three. End paragraphs differently. No em dashes.
Trust readers. State facts directly. Skip softening, justification, hand-holding.
Cut quotables. If it sounds like a pull-quote, rewrite it.
Before delivering prose:
Rate 1-10 on each dimension:
| Dimension | Question |
|---|---|
| Directness | Statements or announcements? |
| Rhythm | Varied or metronomic? |
| Trust | Respects reader intelligence? |
| Authenticity | Sounds human? |
| Density | Anything cuttable? |
Below 35/50: revise.

Build a new holaOS app using @holaboss/app-builder-sdk (5 backend primitives + optional shadcn dashboard UI). The canonical path for vibe-coded apps — integration modules AND dashboard apps both live here.
Provision a production-ready teammate only after its stable responsibilities, prerequisites, and reusable operating guidance are understood.
Build the visual layer of a holaOS dashboard app — TanStack Start + @holaboss/ui + workspace tokens. Use when an app has SDK primitives wired (via app-builder-sdk) AND needs a `src/client/` UI surface. NOT for marketing pages, NOT for snapshot HTML reports.
This skill is for interface design — dashboards, admin panels, apps, tools, and interactive products. NOT for marketing design (landing pages, marketing sites, campaigns).
Use when working in the embedded browser and you want the cheapest reliable interaction loop.
Use when validating or debugging a workflow in the embedded browser and you need a reproducible, evidence-first loop.
