Writing

Flags -ly adverbs and adverb-verb pairs that lean on a weak verb, and scores how dense they are; a suggestion, not a rule, since adverbs are not banned

Finds cliches and stock phrases from a built-in list and reports where each one starts, as a suggestion rather than a correction

Flags likely passive constructions, a be-verb followed by a past participle, and gives the percentage of sentences that contain one, as a suggestion rather than a correction

Shows the distribution of sentence lengths, the longest sentence, and a variety score, as a description of the prose rather than a correction

Flags hedges and fillers such as just, very, really, actually, basically and quite, and where each one sits, as a suggestion rather than a correction

Finds transition and connective words from a built-in list and flags sentences where two or more cluster together, as a description rather than a correction

Flags said-bookisms from a built-in list and adverb-laden dialogue tags like "said softly", as a suggestion rather than a correction

Works out the ratio of content words to total words, a rough measure of how dense the prose is, against a built-in list of function words

Converts a heading to AP, Chicago and MLA title case side by side, so you can see where these style guides genuinely disagree

Finds runs of three or more words sharing an initial letter, skipping small connecting words, as a description rather than a correction

Builds a writing prompt from a character, a situation and a constraint, picked deterministically from a seed so the same seed always gives the same prompt

Estimates syllables per word and in total using a vowel-group heuristic, and checks whether three lines of text scan as a 5-7-5 haiku

Picks a story or article opening line from a genre-specific phrase bank, chosen deterministically from a seed so the same seed and genre always give the same line

Breaks text into sentences and reports the length, an estimated Flesch-Kincaid reading grade, and whether each one is likely passive, then points out the hardest sentence to read by grade level
