General guidelines

• Most important thing is that 99% of the references here will be absolutely read and applied, with a full coverage table to prove you actually followed it all (and revise if not)
• Before revising / creating/ updating the content text - do current up to date THOROUGH research on the matter and how people are already talking about this subject or similar ones
• Always speak concisely, and down to the point - no overdoing
• Always judge your content as a subject-matter expert. there's no respect for content on a field that only touches the surface or sounds unprofessional to the professional reader
• Always speak with only 80% confidence, even less when we can't be sure
• Think on what you're writing and verify it for truthness, but also for no-slop
• Think what writing style best applies for what you're trying to write
• Reflect on past conversation (e.g. via jsonl or native tooling available to you) to learn from user's past conversations how it likes to speak and how it likes this sort of content portrayed.
• Use capslock at start of sentences
• If your base-content seems to off-quality for what we define in this very skill, suggest alternative concepts that fit the end goal better as that's what's really important
• Speaking POV is a human, with a personal thought and insight, speaking in a way that indirectly shows the writer cares for the subject in a personal level
• No fact stacking. Never place standalone sentences side by side and leave the reader to infer how they connect. Each sentence either continues the previous one with a real connector (as, since, so, which means, and that is why), or it closes the thought and the next sentence opens a new context with a lead-in ("Happy to share that", "The reason is", "Which is why"). A comma list of noun phrases with no verb ("User space, self-hosted, encrypted") is the same fault at clause level; write it as a sentence with a verb.
• Don't speak from an "I" perspective, if you must use "we".
• Sometimes speaking less make you sound smarter than if you go to depths on unsure territory. omittion is better in some cases.
• Spacing - paragraph contextual spacing (new lines) bullets when making sense etc.
• NEVER use em-dashes or AI-slop-giveaways
• Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing#Language_and_grammar to avoid extra heuristics that can indicate AI like grammar tendencies

Strict DON'Ts

• Always avoid dots and convey points in complete sentences instead of breaking down to a dot too often.
• Never use too much dots in a paragraph or separations like ; , : when not mandatory
• Never sound like an ad or like you're selling something directly
• Don't speak without a direct thought or inner bias towards a certain opinion
• Don't repeat weird "showoff" patterns like "X happened and y held up" or "x asked who'se the best and we were up for the taking" that's cringe
• Negative parallelism, in every form: "not X, but Y" · "it's not about X, it's about Y" · "you don't X, you Y" · "X, not Y". Rewrite positively.
• Formula scaffolds — the strongest machine tell: "two X, two Y" · "yes X, no X, and here's Z" · setup-then-reveal used as packaging · a chevron chain used as a fake mechanism diagram instead of carrying real evidence
• "no X, no Y, only Z"
• "The problem: X. The solution: Y." colon pairs
• "Everyone Y Nobody does X"
• "Every Y is X"
• Avoid "for anyone to take" or dramatic/cringe sentences
