# Writing Style

> corpflow writing-style (ASD-STE100, ~80%): one topic per sentence — procedural ≤20 words, descriptive ≤25; paragraphs ≤6 sentences; active voice with a named actor; steps as imperatives, one action each, in order; a condition or warning comes before its step; keep articles and connecting words, never telegraph style; one word for one meaning, no synonyms for variety; simple tenses, no noun stacks over 3; no idioms, slang or filler; technical names stay exact. No approved-dictionary limit. Use a table for comparisons, a numbered list for sequences, a diagram for flows with 3+ parts; prose carries rationale only. Source comments follow `code-comment-standard` instead.

For the scope table, relaxations and BEFORE→AFTER examples, read `skills/shared/writing-style.md` (plugin root: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` if available, else resolve per `skills/shared/plugin-root-resolution.md`).
