Write Clear
Technical-writing skill on Google + GDS style that preserves facts and voice.
About
A self-contained SKILL.md for drafting, revising and auditing technical and product docs on the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide, with explicit preservation rules for facts, tokens, quotations and the author's voice. It routes specialized questions to live guide pages via a category index and ships a validation script. It is a fresh (2026) fork of Daniel Green's nbj-write-clearly, currently at 0 stars and 11 commits, so it is early but carefully structured. The Google style default is deliberate; other house styles need an explicit override.
What it can do
- Drafting technical and product docs
- Revising prose without changing facts or voice
- Audit-only clarity reviews
- Google/GDS style application with preservation rules
