// Format Markdown for iA Writer. Minimal, prose-first, almost no bold or italic.
Create camera-readable Markdown teaching documents for courses, YouTube videos, workshops, and companion docs. Use when turning cards, rough notes, demos, or existing lessons into polished material Owain can read aloud and learners can study.
Write compact, reusable teaching cards that make one idea click. Use when turning rough expertise, lesson sections, YouTube ideas, demos, or course material into clear teachable units.
Turn a vague, messy, or multi-part user ask into a clean, self-contained prompt that a fresh agent could execute without further questions. Interview the user one question at a time — walking down the decision tree, branching on each answer — until the prompt is tight, then output the final prompt as the deliverable. Trigger eagerly: any voice-dictated input, filler-heavy prose, underspecified references ("the thing", "that script"), multi-part requests, or any plan the user wants stress-tested. The skill itself can be skipped for trivial one-line requests where producing a prompt artifact would be pure ceremony — but once invoked, always produce the prompt, even if execution looks trivial.
Create a beautiful HTML explanation of a repo, spec, PR, architecture, or concept so a smart beginner can understand and retell it.
Rewrite text to remove AI tells. Use when editing or reviewing writing that sounds like a chatbot wrote it. Detects and replaces inflated significance, rule-of-three, em dash overuse, AI vocabulary, condescending openers, reader-lecturing, signposting, and other tells.
