Dash Discipline

Keep project text free of typographic dashes: the plain hyphen (-, U+002D) is the only dash this skill allows, in every language. A person typing on a keyboard gets U+002D from the dash key in both the English and the Ukrainian layout; an em dash in prose is a mark of generated or autocorrected text. The skill has two modes. Write mode covers everything you write while the skill sits in context, including a single-file check before handoff. Audit mode runs on request: inventory every occurrence and say how each one gets fixed. Enforcement covers what neither mode guarantees on its own.
