Email & Message Tone & Clarity Gate
Example session with this skill installed
Review this message before I send it to a teammate:
"Hey just following up again on that thing I mentioned, would be great to get it sorted soon if possible, no rush but kind of urgent. Thanks!"
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the email & message
VERDICT: REVISE
CLARITY SCORE: 32
TONE READ: Apologetic and tentative; the mixed urgency signals may read as either nagging or unimportant.
ISSUES
- [clarity-of-ask] "that thing I mentioned" -> the reader may not recall what this refers to -> name the specific item and link or recap it
- [action-and-ownership] "get it sorted soon" -> no concrete action, owner, or date -> state exactly what you need and by when
- [tone] "no rush but kind of urgent" -> contradictory signals weaken the request -> pick one priority and say it plainly
- [context-and-completeness] "following up again" -> no link to the prior thread -> quote or link the earlier message
THE ASK: unclear
TOP FIXES
- Replace "that thing" with the specific request and a real deadline
- Remove the contradictory urgency and state the priority once
ONE-LINE SUMMARY: Tweak first: name the ask and give a clear deadline before sending.

About this skill
The Email & Message Tone & Clarity Gate turns your agent into a calm second pair of eyes that reviews any email or chat message before it goes out — and then stops, leaving the wording and the send button to you.
It runs five fixed passes over your draft: a clarity-of-ask check (is there one unambiguous request and a clear next step?), a tone check (will a busy reader read this as curt, passive-aggressive, defensive, or over-apologetic?), an action-and-ownership check (buried tasks, unstated deadlines, unclear who-does-what), a context-and-completeness check (missing background, undefined jargon, "as discussed" with no recap), and a risk-and-readiness check (sending while angry, ambiguous commitments, a subject line that doesn't match the body).
Every run returns a structured verdict: SEND, REVISE, or HOLD, plus a 0-100 clarity score, a plain read of how a busy recipient will likely perceive the message, each issue quoted with the reason and the fix, the single clearest ask, and a one-line recommendation. Because it quotes the exact problem text and never rewrites or sends, it catches what you miss when you're too close to your own message while keeping your words yours.
Who it's for: anyone who sends messages where tone and clarity matter — support and success teams, salespeople, managers, founders, and anyone firing off a reply while rushed or annoyed. It is model-agnostic and read-only: it has no inbox or network access and cannot read, send, or delete mail. It is a pre-send reviewer, not an autoresponder or ghostwriter.
