What a wonderful skill. I hate the long and verbose do strings or docs LLMs spit out. This will make a great addition to my docu agent.

And I agree, maybe I should use this for my emails too

Okay here's one of the outputs:

> Before you start, make sure that your AWS credentials are correct. If they are not, S3 rejects the upload with a permission error.

Wouldn't it be better to write:

Before start, ensure AWS credentials are correct. Otherwise, S3 rejects uploads with permission error.

Which one would do better in a college essay? I think the original one.

The example is unambiguous. Your modification is ambiguous at best. <failure to ensure aws credentials are correct> != <aws credentials are incorrect>

Honestly I should use this on my own emails and slack messages.

Oh, is ASD-STE100 this week’s mindless productivity/AI-bro trend?

New models (especially Opus 5, released just last week) produces unintelligible output, so people are trying to fix it.

What’s it like to be this abrasive about people simply doing things?
