This has not been my experience at all. I have been using this skill[0] for several weeks and when I ask it to rewrite existing AI slop docstrings to use this convention they are nearly always 10-20% smaller, plus easier to read and mostly

11 years ago, I had the idea that I should be able to take any article on an arbitrary website and listen to it as a narration in my chosen podcast player. At the time, text-to-speech (TTS) services were very robotic and it was difficult to
