docs: adopt the two-layer writing standard - #45
Merged
Conversation
Align this repo with the updated setup-guplem-standard skill. The "Communicating with users" section becomes "Writing style" and states two layers: Zinsser's four principles for all prose, and ASD-STE100 on top for technical documents. The skills that referenced the old heading now name the new section. Their partial copies of the rules are gone, because AGENTS.md is the one home for them.

TL;DR: this repo's writing rules now match the updated
setup-guplem-standardskill. Documentation only, no behavior change.What changed
AGENTS.md: the "Communicating with users" section became "Writing style" and now states two layers.AGENTS.md, ADRs,README.md, skills, subagents, code comments): ASD-STE100, Simplified Technical English. Active voice, one meaning per word, verb-first instructions, no-ingform as a noun, about 20 words per sentence.The replacement also restores a Layer 1 bullet this file was missing: "Assume junior-level knowledge of the area."
The skills
write-ai-instructions,write-commit,review-pr,implement-issue, andcreate-issueeach named the old heading. Each now names "Writing style". Their partial copies of the rules are gone, becauseAGENTS.mdis the one home for them.Checks
