Claude Code skill · anthropic · active
This skill strips out em-dashes and en-dashes from any writing Claude produces. It rewrites sentences to use commas, periods, colons, parentheses, or restructured phrasing instead. The result is cleaner text that needs no manual editing.
Anyone who writes regularly (marketers, founders, content creators, developers) and finds em-dashes slip into their work despite their preference to avoid them.
On any task that produces written output: articles, emails, code comments, marketing copy, documentation, chat replies, or specs.
- "Write a marketing email about our new product launch"
- "Help me draft a technical spec for the API redesign"
- "Create five social media posts promoting our webinar"
You scan the output and find zero em-dashes (—) or en-dashes (–). All punctuation uses commas, periods, colons, or parentheses instead.

}That means either: (a) the system has not had a task that matched its strengths, (b) a more cost-effective alternative was picked by the router, or (c) the related automation is toggled OFF on /automations. The Recommender reviews idle tools weekly and may suggest killing it.
