Compatibility: claude-code agnostic

Single-skill repo distilling Anthony Lee Zhang's prose-revision guidance into a Claude Skill: structure-first revision on the principle of idea flow before linguistic flow. Diagnoses order, emphasis, and paragraph shape before smoothing sentences; aggressive on structure, conservative on content and claim strength; offers light / moderate / full-rebuild revision variants and says so when a draft already reads well. Explicitly positioned upstream of proofreading. Ships as a plain SKILL.md installable in claude.ai (Customize -> Skills) or Claude Code.
