Writing Skills

Language Density Contract (Mandatory)

  • Preserve full behavior/instruction set; compress wording, not scope.
  • Default style: terse bullets, short clauses, noun-phrase acceptable.
  • Remove filler/intro/conclusion text and motivational prose.
  • One bullet = one directive; merge duplicates aggressively.
  • Keep examples minimal and disambiguation-focused.
  • Prefer tables/checklists over long prose where possible.
  • Preserve normative force (must, never, before, required).
  • Final pass required: tighten phrasing, collapse repetition, cut non-essential tokens.

Overview
