An installable agent skill finds how sentence stress can change meaning and produces a report with clearer rewrites.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

Misemphasis analyzes ambiguity created when written sentences lose spoken intonation. Its example, “I didn't say we should cancel Friday,” is unpacked into seven possible stress readings, including who spoke, what was denied, and whether Friday is the relevant day. The installed skill writes a `report.md` file with likely and merely possible interpretations plus targeted rewrites. The page distinguishes this work from grammar or tone editing and identifies the package as MIT licensed.
