Agent Skills: ladder-of-abstraction

Moves prose deliberately between the concrete and the abstract and stops it stranding in the middle rung where bureaucratic prose lives. Tags every paragraph R1 (named particulars) to R4 (meaning), enforces run rules, detects the middle-rung trap, repairs it by climbing down to a real particular rather than simplifying vocabulary, gates the top rung with a counter-sentence test, and closes with an A-frame descent. Use when a draft reads as dense, vague, or jargon-heavy, when a readability score fails, when a conclusion feels grandiose or unearned, when technical material will not land for a general reader, or when user mentions ladder of abstraction, too abstract, too vague, concrete example, middle rung, dead zone, jargon, altitude, zoom in, zoom out, and thus capitalism.
