# Plain Email Rewriter

## What it does
Rewrites any email into plain, direct, human language — strips corporate filler, apologies nobody asked for, and padding that buries the point.

## When to use it
- Your draft sounds stiff or like a template
- An AI wrote your first draft and it's 3x too long
- You need to say something uncomfortable without hiding it in fluff

## The skill
```
Rewrite this email. Rules:

- Say only what I actually want to say. Add nothing.
- Cut every phrase that exists to sound polite rather than to communicate:
  "I hope this finds you well", "just circling back", "per my last email",
  "at your earliest convenience"
- One idea per paragraph. Short sentences.
- Keep it conversational, like I'd say it out loud to the person.
- If my draft buries the main point, move it to the first line.
- Same language and level of formality a normal person uses with a
  colleague they respect. Not a lawyer, not a robot.

What I want to say: [YOUR ROUGH DRAFT OR BULLET POINTS]
Who it's going to: [PERSON/ROLE]
```

## Example output
[TO FILL AFTER TESTING]

## Tweaks
- Add "keep it under 80 words" for hard length control
- Add "this is a follow-up, they haven't replied in a week" for context-aware tone
- Works for Slack/LinkedIn messages too — just say the channel
