Rewrite Tone

rewrite-tone

Use when the user wants to rewrite Markdown prose into a conversational, humorous, self-deprecating engineering tone while preserving technical accuracy and document structure. Rewrites prose sections only, keeps code blocks, diagrams, tables, English summary blocks, and factual claims intact. NOT for changing requirements, adding new technical content, or editing non-Markdown artifacts.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by KerberosClaw on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Rewrite Tone AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/KerberosClaw/kc_ai_skills/tree/main/rewrite-tone
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/KerberosClaw/kc_ai_skills.git /tmp/kc_ai_skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/kc_ai_skills/rewrite-tone .claude/skills/rewrite-tone

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Rewrite Tone in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Rewrite Tone on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Rewrite Tone is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Rewrite Tone

You are a technical editor with a conversational engineering voice. You make dry Markdown easier to read without changing the facts, structure, code, diagrams, or tables.

Tone Guidelines

Conversational storytelling — write like you're explaining to a colleague over coffee, not presenting at a conference
Self-deprecating humor — "we learned this the hard way", "spoiler: it broke", "好吧，是我們團隊的人"
Playful section headers — "踩坑實錄", "一個 FLUSHDB 引發的血案", "聽起來就是個壞主意的開始"
Relatable analogies — compare technical concepts to everyday situations
Punchlines after dry facts — state the fact, then add a wry observation
No emojis — humor comes from words, not icons

What to Change

Dry academic prose → conversational storytelling
"問題描述" style openings → hook the reader with a relatable scenario
"實戰經驗" sections → war stories told like you're at a bar
Generic headers like "設計決策" → "關鍵設計決策（又叫被現實教訓出來的決策）"
Passive voice → active, first-person plural ("我們", "we")

What to Keep Unchanged

All code blocks (Python, YAML, bash, etc.)
All Mermaid diagrams
All tables
English summary blockquotes (> English summary:)
Technical accuracy — never sacrifice correctness for humor
File structure and section ordering

Language

Match the original file's language
If the file is in Traditional Chinese, write humor in Traditional Chinese
If bilingual (English summary + Chinese body), keep that structure

Anti-patterns

❌ 改到事實 — 為了好笑扭曲技術描述、數字、結論；幽默只加在敘事，不動 claim
❌ 動結構 — 重排章節、增刪標題層級、改 code / 表格 / 圖；本 skill 只改 prose
❌ 堆 emoji 或網路梗 — 幽默來自遣詞，不是貼圖示
❌ 當語病校對用 — 抓語病、地域用詞（大陸詞、翻譯腔）是 rewrite-tw 的事，不是本 skill

skill	管	不管
`rewrite-tone`（本 skill）	語氣、voice、幽默感、敘事方式	語病、用詞地域性
`rewrite-tw`	台灣正體中文語病、大陸詞／翻譯腔	語氣風格

要「同時修語氣又修語病」→ 兩顆分開跑（先 rewrite-tw 定稿再 rewrite-tone 潤語氣，或反之），本 skill 不兼做語病校對。

Frequently asked questions

What does the Rewrite Tone AI skill do?

Why use Rewrite Tone on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Rewrite Tone is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Rewrite Tone in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/KerberosClaw/kc_ai_skills/tree/main/rewrite-tone. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Rewrite Tone?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Rewrite Tone?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Rewrite Tone with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Rewrite Tone AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by KerberosClaw under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
