Run Flesch-Kincaid checks in Windsurf
Cascade doesn't guess about grade levels. When you pass text to `calculate_flesch_kincaid`, it returns the exact mathematical index without any fluff. This gives you a baseline for your copy. You'll know if your documentation matches the target audience reading level instantly.
Calculate Gunning Fog scores
Use `calculate_gunning_fog` to isolate complex words and long sentence structures. It provides a raw index that highlights dense, unreadable prose. Windsurf uses this data to suggest specific edits. You get clear metrics instead of vague feedback on your writing.
Estimate reading time for any draft
The `calculate_reading_time` tool provides a precise duration based on word count. It defaults to 200 WPM, letting you see exactly how long your content takes to finish. This keeps your writing concise. You'll stop guessing if your emails or articles are too long for your readers.
