Tighten prose by stripping AI tics and applying Orwell/Gowers plain-English rules. Use when the user asks to rewrite, tighten, simplify, or detox writing — phrases like "plain English", "make this clearer", "cut the AI voice", "fix the writing", "rewrite plainly", "tighten this", "detox this". Also run as a self-audit pass before delivering long-form prose (essays, blog posts, articles, reports, documentation) so the output isn't recognisably AI-generated.
