Tool to enforce readable, consistent output style from coding agents

Developers using Claude/Codex agents find the output verbose and hard to read, hurting reasoning and review. Ad-hoc prompt blocks in AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md only partly help. A reusable style-enforcement layer or shareable style packs for agent output would address a recurring annoyance.

The problem

Developers reading coding agent output find it hard to parse and tedious to reason over; they try style rules in AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md or ASD-STE100 prompts but results are inconsistent and there's no systematic way to enforce or share a preferred output style across agents and projects.

What could be built

A style-enforcement toolkit: shareable, versioned style packs (e.g., ASD-STE100, custom house style) plus a linter/rewriter that runs on agent output and a config generator that emits the right rules into AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md for popular agents.
