Reference for braid, this project's issue tracker (the "skein" of "strands"). Use whenever you need braid command syntax — finding ready work, creating/updating/closing strands, dependencies, ready/blocked queries — or when a user mentions braid, a strand, or a bd- issue id and you need the authoritative, version-matched usage. The body defers to braid agents-info for the full guide.
EnglishImprove prose clarity using the reader-expectations methodology of Gopen & Swan ("The Science of Scientific Writing", American Scientist, Nov-Dec 1990). Use when the user asks for writing improvement, prose review, revision suggestions, help making writing clearer or more readable, feedback on a draft, or mentions clarity, flow, emphasis, sentence structure, or "why this passage is hard to read". Works on any expository prose (papers, reports, memos, docs, essays), not only scientific writing.
