 "page_title": "How to make code names, comments, and error messages easier to read with Iso 24495",
 "summary": "Apply the code skill to source files so readers can follow order, names, and errors.",
 "who": "A developer reviewing a module that new team members find hard to follow.",
 "problem": "Units appear in an unhelpful order, names are unclear, and error messages do not say what the reader should do next.",
 "outcome": "Suggested changes to file structure, naming, comments, and error text, with correctness kept.",
 "steps": [
  "Add the marketplace: `/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/GaZmagik/iso-24495.git`",
  "Install the plugin: `/plugin install iso-24495-plain-language@iso-24495`",
  "Ask the agent to apply the code skill to one file, for example: \"Apply `iso-24495-code` to this module.\"",
  "Run your existing tests before and after accepting changes."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the iso-24495 repository, apply the iso-24495-code skill to <target source file>. Return proposed changes to unit order, names, comments, and error messages, each with a reason. Verify that the proposed changes do not alter behaviour by running the project's tests.",

 "requirements": [
  "An agent that reads the Agent Skills format, such as Claude Code or Codex CLI",
