simple-human-writing-style

What it does

This prompt sets the assistant up as a plain-language writing helper that rewrites or creates text for casual online readers. It tells the assistant to keep sentences short, sound natural and grounded, avoid marketing or “AI-ish” wording, and not add any new claims or facts. The result is clear, straightforward writing that reads like a real person, not a polished promo.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

Variable key	Required?	Description	Defaults
Content	Optional	The text you want rewritten or created	I need help organizing my workflow
purpose	Optional	Why you're writing it	write a simple Reddit comment
extra_notes	Optional	Anything additional you want AI to follow	keep it friendly but direct

Models and options

This skill's modality is: text.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
  • Content (default: I need help organizing my workflow)
  • purpose (default: write a simple Reddit comment )
  • extra_notes (default: keep it friendly but direct)
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model grok-4-fast and its available options. Look up grok-4-fast in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "text") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {"reasoningEffort":"low"}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model grok-4-fast, options {"reasoningEffort":"low"}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use simple-human-writing-style).

Command form:

betterprompt generate simple-human-writing-style \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: grok-4-fast.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {"reasoningEffort":"low"}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate simple-human-writing-style \
  --input 'Content=I need help organizing my workflow' \
  --input 'purpose=write a simple Reddit comment  ' \
  --input 'extra_notes=keep it friendly but direct' \
  --model grok-4-fast \
  --options '{"reasoningEffort":"low"}'
