# Prose Style (Adom House Style)

The house standard for every piece of copy Adom ships: wiki pages, README files,
release notes, chat announcements, UI strings, component descriptions. A lot of it
is drafted by an AI and reads that way. This skill is how we fix that. The goal is
plain: it should read like a person wrote it.

Two things give AI writing away, and the skill kills both:

1. **Em-dashes.** Do not use them. A comma, colon, or period always works.
2. **The AI dialect** of favorite words <!-- prose-lint-disable -->(delve, seamless, robust, leverage) and
   sentence shapes ("it's not just X, it's Y", "in today's world").<!-- prose-lint-enable --> Rewrite them
   into plain statements.

Read `SKILL.md` for the full ruleset, the swap tables, and how to rewrite the
cadence. The deterministic enforcement lives in the companion `prose-lint` CLI.

## Install

```
adom-wiki install adom/prose-style
```

Ships in `adom/core`, so a standard Adom workstation already has it, and it pulls
`adom/prose-lint` as a dependency.

## Use it

Read it before writing any user-facing copy, then check the result:

```
prose-lint README.md
```
