I mourn the removal of Claude's Concise Style. I'd provide it a roughly drafted paragraph, ask concise-Claude to "rewrite for clarity", out comes the same paragraph, but cleaned up and perfect for grant writing.
BTW, this approach also tends to prevent certain phrases like "load-bearing", because it is working directly with something I wrote first. It also still says what I wanted to write (not writing the science for me), but saves me a lot of time reworking sentences into a final form.
I tried to recreate concise mode with a skill, but I am not convinced it does as well.
I’m not the one you replied to so I can’t give examples of that, but it is remarkable how much you can guide the output with claude.md.
I wrote in mine that I don’t really care that much about what it has to say, it should be concise and avoid unnecessary prose, and always lean on sharing relevant passages from the actual code with file names and line numbers and it helped my sanity a lot.
Is the code it’s quoting 100% accurate? I don’t know because I don’t double check it all. But I don’t feel like I’m losing my mind anymore and the stuff I have double checked was correct.
