## How to audit a Markdown or text file for plain language issues with Iso 24495

Repo: [GaZmagik/iso-24495](https://github.com/GaZmagik/iso-24495) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Run the text audit on one file or folder and get findings with file, line, and rule.

**Who it is for:** A technical writer or maintainer preparing a policy, guide, or README who wants a mechanical check before publishing.

**The problem:** Long sentences, legalese, skipped heading levels, and unexplained acronyms are easy to miss when reading your own draft.

**The outcome:** A list of findings, each with its file, line, rule, and explanation, with no changes made to the file.

### Steps

1. Add the marketplace: `/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/GaZmagik/iso-24495.git`
2. Install the plugin: `/plugin install iso-24495-plain-language@iso-24495`
3. Run the audit on one file: `/iso-24495-plain-language:iso-24495-text-audit docs/policy.md`
4. Review each finding and make the edits yourself, since the audit changes nothing.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the iso-24495 repository, run the iso-24495-text-audit skill on <target file or directory>. Report each finding with its file, line, rule, and explanation, and make no edits. Verify that the report states that zero findings does not prove the text suits its audience.
```

### Caveat

The audit covers only the rules it implements and reads English only, so a clean result does not show that a document suits its readers.

## How to rewrite contract or licence clauses in plain language with Iso 24495

Repo: [GaZmagik/iso-24495](https://github.com/GaZmagik/iso-24495) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Apply the legal writing skill to contract, licence, or compliance text.

**Who it is for:** A contract owner or compliance lead who must make licence or policy wording readable for staff or customers.

**The problem:** Legal text uses legalese, unnamed actors, and cross-references that point at nothing a reader can find.

**The outcome:** Clauses with standard modal verbs, named actors, defined terms, and a summary layer over the operative text, with legal accuracy kept.

### Steps

1. Add the marketplace: `/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/GaZmagik/iso-24495.git`
2. Install the plugin: `/plugin install iso-24495-plain-language@iso-24495`
3. Ask the agent to apply the skill by name, for example: "Apply `iso-24495-2` to this licence text."
4. Check each rewritten clause against the original for any change in legal meaning before you use it.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the iso-24495 repository, apply the iso-24495-2 skill to the clauses in <target file>. Return the rewritten text with a summary layer and defined terms, and list any clause where the legal meaning may have changed. Verify that each clause keeps its named actors and modal verbs.
```

### Caveat

The README says technical and legal accuracy always supersede formatting rules, so a lawyer must review any rewritten clause before use.

## How to make code names, comments, and error messages easier to read with Iso 24495

Repo: [GaZmagik/iso-24495](https://github.com/GaZmagik/iso-24495) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Apply the code skill to source files so readers can follow order, names, and errors.

**Who it is for:** A developer reviewing a module that new team members find hard to follow.

**The problem:** Units appear in an unhelpful order, names are unclear, and error messages do not say what the reader should do next.

**The outcome:** Suggested changes to file structure, naming, comments, and error text, with correctness kept.

### Steps

1. Add the marketplace: `/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/GaZmagik/iso-24495.git`
2. Install the plugin: `/plugin install iso-24495-plain-language@iso-24495`
3. Ask the agent to apply the code skill to one file, for example: "Apply `iso-24495-code` to this module."
4. Run your existing tests before and after accepting changes.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
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.
```

### Caveat

The README says the code skill is measured to change how Claude structures a file at no cost to correctness, which is a project measurement, not a guarantee for your code.

## How to hold every Codex response to plain language rules with Iso 24495

Repo: [GaZmagik/iso-24495](https://github.com/GaZmagik/iso-24495) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Add the iso-24495-style skill to AGENTS.md so every Codex answer follows the core rules.

**Who it is for:** A developer who uses Codex CLI on a team project and wants consistent, plain answers from the agent.

**The problem:** Agents default to filler preambles, long sentences, and passive voice unless their instructions say otherwise.

**The outcome:** Codex applies the output style to each response in that project.

### Steps

1. Add the marketplace: `codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/GaZmagik/iso-24495.git`
2. Install the plugin: `codex plugin add iso-24495-plain-language@iso-24495`
3. Add this line to your project's `AGENTS.md`: Apply `iso-24495-style` to every response.
4. Start a new Codex session and check that a response has no filler opening and uses short sentences.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the iso-24495 repository, confirm that the iso-24495-style skill is installed for this project and that AGENTS.md names it. Answer a test question in plain language with no filler opening, then report which style rules the answer follows. Verify the AGENTS.md line is present before you report success.
```

### Caveat

The README notes that an AGENTS.md inside a plugin is ignored, so the line must go in your project's own AGENTS.md or ~/.codex/AGENTS.md.

## How to run a plain language gap analysis across an organisation with Iso 24495

Repo: [GaZmagik/iso-24495](https://github.com/GaZmagik/iso-24495) | Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 1 hour | Basis: From the README

Use the Part 4 skill and Bun tooling to score and track plain language maturity.

**Who it is for:** A compliance or communications lead who must assess plain language across many organisational documents and repeat the check over time.

**The problem:** Without a consistent scoring method, teams cannot compare plain language maturity or show progress between reviews.

**The outcome:** A maturity assessment with deterministic scoring and an append-only audit trend, based on the provisional Part 4 guidance.

### Steps

1. Install Bun from https://bun.sh
2. Clone the repository and open its root folder
3. Run `bun test` to check the tooling before you rely on it
4. Invoke the `iso-24495-4` skill by name and point it at your document set.
5. Keep the audit trend file, since each run is appended to it.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the iso-24495 repository, apply the iso-24495-4 skill to the document set at <target directory>. Return the five-dimension maturity scores and the findings behind each score. Verify that the bun test suite passes before you trust the output.
```

### Caveat

The Part 4 skill is provisional guidance based on an unpublished committee draft, so its scores are not a measure of ISO conformance.
