Can I use this for non-markdown files?

Yes, while highly effective for documentation, it can be applied to any text-based file, including source code, configuration files, and tutorials where clarity is needed.

How does it decide which examples to keep?

The skill evaluates examples based on whether they clarify abstract concepts or prevent common mistakes. It removes examples that are self-evident or merely repeat what is already stated in the text.

Does this skill delete important code or data?

No, the skill follows a strict 'Accuracy First' principle. It only removes redundant phrasing and unnecessary decorative elements while preserving all essential technical information.

How does the backup process work?

The skill initiates a CLI backup of your file before making any edits. If you are unhappy with the clarified version, it provides a command to restore the original file immediately.
