We ran it once
The brief: Write a typical AI-sounding 120-word announcement for the fictional Saltmere Public Library extending its opening hours, then rewrite it with the skill.
It cut the 122-word announcement to 49 words: removed the thrilled opener, the new-chapter line, the Whether-you are line and the journey closer, kept the dates and hours. It invented nothing.
What we thought: Does what it says: the AI filler is gone and no facts were added. It is cautious to a fault, so the result is plain and short, and a normal person would likely have to add a sentence of warmth back. Useful as an editor, heavy as a setup.

Why it was picked
Taste applies to words too. It audits and rewrites prose to remove AI habits, and shows what it changed. It has reached 31 releases.
Why it exists
Readers stop trusting a text the moment it sounds generated, even if the facts are right.
What you get
Your text, rewritten, with a list of what changed.
How it works
- Add the plugin.
- Give it a draft.
- Read the changes and keep your own voice.
What it needs
Claude Code. Other agents can use the same file.
In short
Pick this before you publish anything an AI helped write.
Worth knowing
It works on English best. It is about writing rather than visual design. There is no visual output to show.
