And even with a mutual agreement - default LLM output tends to be very hard and inefficient to read. We've spent quite a bit of time at work to setup a few writing skills for Claude.

For example, mine is a technical writing skill based on the old book "The Art of Scientific Writing": Front load information as much as possible - the first paragraph of a document should be a summary, the first sentence of a paragraph should summarize. Short sentences building on each other. Always show evidence.

Someone else spent quite a while optimizing a standardized PR description template, with a section for intent, expected changes, risk, rollout coordination and such.

That made the slop a lot more tolerable.
