plain-business-english

Your grammar is fine, but the email still feels off. For professionals whose first language is not English and especially for Chinese L1 writers, the most common failure in business writing is not lexical or syntactic but register miscalibration. Enthusiasm inflation ("I am truly excited to..."), apology inflation ("Sorry to bother you..."), certainty inflation ("This will definitely solve..."), and burying the actual ask in paragraph three. None of these trip a spell-checker or grammar tool because no rule is technically violated.

The single principle behind plain-business-english is: state facts at their size. A small fact in a small sentence reads as reliable; a big fact in a calm sentence reads as credible. The plugin trims padding into numbered, matter-of-fact statements, moves the ask to the first line (BLUF), and keeps hedges only where you genuinely mean them. It constrains drafts an agent generates and reviews paragraphs you paste in for a second look. One SKILL.md, zero dependencies, ready to use immediately.

Who it is for: professionals writing business emails, proposals, or client communications in English as a second language whose grammar passes but whose tone consistently overshoots or undershoots. It does not fix weak arguments or ghostwrite idiomatic fluency. It calibrates energy to content so that what is honest lands at its true weight.
