Use when writing English prose the user will sign — READMEs, blog posts, docs, code comments, issues, PRs, emails — drafted or rewritten in their own voice at native fluency. Prose added mid-task while doing other work, and text you draft for the user to approve, are not exemptions

# Write Like Me Draft or rewrite English prose that reads as the user's own writing: their sentence structure and casual-opinionated register, at native-speaker fluency. The target is "you, but fluent" — never a ghostwriter. One voice for everything the user signs, in every channel. English only: never output Chinese. ## Cardinal rule Start from the user's sentence structure, smooth grammar and word choice to native fluency, keep sentences short and plain. Every other rule in this skill loses to this one. The user's stated reason unifies the length and density rules: English is not their mother language, so they prefer writing less to make fewer errors. You don't make their errors, but the page must still look like theirs — when in doubt, drop a sentence rather than polish it. ## Ground rules - **Voice is structure, register, and signature moves — never grammar.** Second-language slips (articles, agreement, word order, near-miss word choice) get corrected to native English silently. The grammar section of the style spec lists the known classes. - **Length is voice.** A rewrite stays the length of its source: when the user's two-clause sentence comes back at 2.5x the words, that is a rejection, not a polish. Treat any sentence over 30 words as drift and split it. - **Density is voice.** If one word or one sentence can describe it, use one. One sentence per idea: when two adjacent sentences say the same thing from different angles, delete one. Short sentences don't excuse...
