register-controller - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: register-controller description: Adapt writing style for academic paper synthesis to match a specific audience. Use when asked to write summaries or notes for a particular reader type. Control jargon density, sentence structure, and explanation depth independently.

Register Controller

Register is specified as three independent axes. Load exactly one file per axis, then apply all three settings simultaneously to your synthesis.

Jargon density

Setting	When to use	File
`none`	Smart non-expert reader; new field; partner-shareable	registers/jargon-none.md
`selective`	Learning the field; notes for future self; refreshing after hiatus	registers/jargon-selective.md
`heavy`	Active expert; dissertation notes; rapid scanning	registers/jargon-heavy.md

Sentence structure

Setting	When to use	File
`conversational`	Personal notes; burnout recovery; maximum readability	registers/structure-conversational.md
`mixed`	Standard synthesis; balanced professionalism	registers/structure-mixed.md
`formal`	Dissertation material; formal literature review; publication notes	registers/structure-formal.md

Explanation depth

Setting	When to use	File
`hand-holding`	New field; gap-year refresh; want to understand the why	registers/depth-hand-holding.md
`balanced`	Standard academic detail; familiar but not expert	registers/depth-balanced.md
`assume-knowledge`	Active research; quick reference; expert scanning	registers/depth-assume-knowledge.md

Default register

If no register is specified: selective jargon + mixed structure + balanced depth.

Application

After loading the three register files, apply their combined guidance to every section of the synthesis. Jargon affects which terms you explain. Structure affects sentence-level construction. Depth affects how much you explain the why behind methods and findings.
