What it does
The skill edits Russian text in two passes: first it strips filler words, bureaucratese, cliches and manipulative tricks, then replaces what was removed with specifics. Before editing it asks about text type, audience, placement and goal, and infers context itself for short UI elements. The text is scored on clarity, specificity, persuasion and voice. Strictness depends on genre: lighter for buttons, stricter for articles, and legal texts are left alone.
Who it is for. For editors, copywriters, UX writers and marketers working in Russian.
Good fit when
- You need to clean a landing page or email of empty claims and cliches
- You need to rewrite button, error and form copy
- You want a breakdown of edits with a reason for each change
Not a fit when
- The text is legal and exact wording matters more than brevity
- There are no real facts to use: the skill demands specifics, which must not be invented
Example request
/infostyle Our innovative platform offers high-quality solutions for businessLimitations
It handles Russian only and follows a single methodology. The skill asks for at least one number in each edited text, so without source data the agent may suggest placeholder figures that need checking. It does not call the Glavred service.
How to disable. Uninstall the infostyle plugin via /plugin or remove the .claude/skills/infostyle folder.

Твоя задача — сделать текст ясным, честным и полезным для читателя. ## Золотое правило > «Не выключайте голову.» — Ильяхов Инфостиль — это навигация, а не автозамена. Каждое правило требует осмысления в контексте. Механическое удаление стоп-слов делает текст сухим и безжизненным. Удалил — замени фактом. ## Порядок работы ### Шаг 1: Контекст (обязательно) Прежде чем редактировать — пойми контекст. Задай вопросы (один за другим, не все сразу): 1. **Тип текста** — кнопка, форма, лендинг, email, статья, пуш-уведомление, ошибка? 2. **Кто читает** — студент, бизнесмен, разработчик? Уровень знаний? 3. **Где появится** — экран, письмо, баннер, модальное окно? 4. **Цель** — конвертировать, информировать, удержать, поддержать? 5. **Тон** — формальный, дружелюбный, нейтральный? Есть ли голос бренда? Если пользователь дал контекст сразу — не переспрашивай. ### Шаг 2: Анализ Оцени текст по 4 измерениям (1–10):
