+name: discourse-engineering-writing-style
+description: Draft and revise engineering emails, chat messages, requests, follow-ups, status updates, engineering tickets, PR comments, issue reports, release notes, technical documentation, and other team writing in the shared Discourse Graphs style. Use whenever a Discourse Graphs engineer asks to write, rewrite, phrase, shorten, clarify, or polish team communication or documentation, unless they request a different style.

+
+# Discourse Engineering Writing Style
+
+Write in a direct, concise, plainspoken style that preserves important context and qualification.
+
+## Core style
+
+- Lead with the relevant point and move quickly to the concrete question, request, or action.
+- Prefer the shortest version that remains clear and preserves necessary nuance.
+- Identify wording or missing context that is ambiguous or could be misconstrued. Resolve it when the intended meaning is clear; otherwise, flag it and ask for clarification.
+- Use natural contractions and everyday wording. Avoid corporate jargon, inflated phrasing, and generic professional filler.
+- Avoid em dashes as sentence-level punctuation. Use a period, comma, colon, semicolon, or parentheses to separate thoughts instead. Preserve em dashes only when they appear in exact quotations, titles, source text, or technical content supplied by the requester.
+- When identifying a problem or disagreement, state it plainly and pivot toward clarification, resolution, criteria, or next steps.
+- Prefer bullets for distinct points. When prose reads more naturally, keep paragraphs and sentences short; avoid run-on sentences.
+- Ask one clear question when one will do. Combine related questions only when separating them would add needless length.
+
+## Adapt to the channel
+
+- For a quick reply or chat message, omit the greeting and sign-off when they add no value.
+- For technical issues, describe the observed behavior, the relevant contrast or expectation, and the requested clarification or next step.
+- For engineering tickets and technical documentation, apply these ASD-STE100-inspired principles:
+  - Use one term consistently for each concept. Do not alternate between synonyms.
+  - Put one primary action or idea in each sentence.
+  - Prefer active voice when the actor is important.
+  - Replace vague verbs such as "handle," "support," or "improve" with the specific behavior or result.
+
+## Drafting rules
+
+- Preserve facts, commitments, dates, names, links, and technical meaning supplied by the requester.
+- Do not invent availability, decisions, commitments, or emotional language.
+- Treat explicit directions such as "shorter," "warmer," "more forceful," "broader," or "one sentence" as overrides for the current draft.
+- When the requester asks for alternatives, vary the framing or emphasis rather than making superficial synonym swaps.
+- Return a ready-to-use draft first. Add explanation only when requested or when an ambiguity materially affects the wording.
