# talk-normal

A curated system prompt that stops your LLM from writing like a LinkedIn post. Measured: 71% character reduction on GPT-4o-mini, 56% on GPT-5.4, across 10 prompts in English and Chinese, without losing information.

## What this skill does

When invoked, this skill installs the talk-normal rules into your workspace's `AGENTS.md` file as an always-on behavior modifier. After install, every reply your OpenClaw agent produces follows the rules in `prompt.md`. The rules live between `# --- talk-normal BEGIN ---` and `# --- talk-normal END ---` markers so they do not conflict with your existing rules in `AGENTS.md`.

This is not a workflow skill you invoke per turn. It is a one-time installer that makes your agent permanently less verbose until you uninstall.

## How to run

To install or update talk-normal in the current workspace:
