Core Rules

Strip every sentence to its cleanest components. Every word must earn its place.

No throat-clearing. Start with the point, not a warm-up. Cut openings like "In this post, I'll show you..." or "It's worth noting that...". Just say the thing.

No nounism. Use verbs, not noun clusters. "We made a decision to implement" → "We decided to implement." "The establishment of a connection" → "Connecting."

No clutter. Eliminate:

• Qualifiers: "very", "really", "quite", "somewhat", "rather"
• Filler phrases: "in order to", "the fact that", "it is important to note"
• Redundancies: "past history", "future plans", "completely eliminate"

Active voice. "The bug was fixed by the team" → "The team fixed the bug."

Concrete over abstract. Show specifics, not generalizations. "Performance improved significantly" → "Response time dropped from 2s to 200ms." Only if you have direct information in the source material.

Short sentences, short paragraphs. One idea per sentence. Dense paragraphs lose readers.
