Prose Style (Adom House Style) - page.json

by adom

The Adom house writing style. Apply to ALL user-facing copy you write: NO em-dashes (use a comma, colon, or period), and cut the tics that make text read as AI-generated (delve, seamless, robust, leverage, 'it's not just X, it's Y', 'in today's world'). Write plainly, like a person. Read before writing any README, wiki page, release note, chat message, UI string, or docs.
