Write Well
Prose quality checker for Quarto (.qmd) files, grounded in William Zinsser''s *On Writing Well* (30th Anniversary Edition). Checks for clutter, weak verbs, hollow qualifiers, clichés, inflated academic voice, poor leads and endings, pronoun and tense inconsistency, and unclear explanation. Produces a structured markdown report organized by document section — never modifies the source file. Use when asked to improve prose quality, tighten writing, reduce clutter, or apply Zinsser''s writing principles to a draft. For grammar and punctuation, use the proofread skill. For APSA style rules, use the apsa-style skill. Supports an optional output-file argument and an optional @sec-label argument to restrict checking to one section.
