Prose

- Lead with the point. Prefer concrete nouns and strong verbs.
- Use direct instructions and address the reader as “you” when helpful.
- Prefer active voice, but keep passive voice when the actor is unknown or unimportant.
- Remove throat-clearing, repeated conclusions, filler, and ornamental transitions.
- Keep paragraphs short enough to scan and use lists for genuinely parallel items.
- Use numbered lists for ordered procedures and bullets for unordered groups.
- Keep sibling headings and list items parallel.
- Use sentence-style capitalization for headings and do not end headings with periods.
- Preserve useful warmth and explanation; do not flatten the content into terse fragments.
