全局 CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md 规则
Writing rules, from Orwell, 1946. These govern prose: docs, PR text, messages. Never touch code or technical terms; swap in everyday words only where precision survives.
1. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
Review every prose output against these rules before delivering.

下一步 贴进你的全局 CLAUDE.md 或 AGENTS.md。

别再对 Claude Code 或 Codex 说「不要用破折号」「别再说 delve」「别写得像 AI」。一个词一个词地禁,永远禁不完,因为你从没给过它一套写作规则。每份 README、PR 描述和落地页,写出来都是同一种 AI 腔。

Orwell 在 1946 年就写好了办法:六条规则。把它们贴进全局 CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md,每个会话都会读到。全局的意思是对每个仓库都生效。某个项目需要自己的语气时,再给它写一份项目级的 CLAUDE.md。

放到一句话上看效果。改之前:「Comprehensive error handling has been implemented across all API endpoints to ensure robust and reliable performance.」改之后:「We added error handling to every API endpoint.」comprehensive、robust、reliable 和 ensure 都没了,被动句改成了主动句,16 个词减到 8 个,事实一个没少。

提示词:重写规则出现之前写的文字
Rewrite this text applying the six writing rules in CLAUDE.md. First list every violation: each stale phrase, each long word with its short replacement, each cuttable word, each passive construction. Then give the rewrite. Keep every fact, number and name unchanged.
规则:PR 描述和 commit message
For every commit message and PR description: state what changed and why in plain words. No achievement language, no comprehensive, no robust. Apply the six writing rules before delivering. A reviewer should know what this does in one read.
提示词:落地页文案
Rewrite this landing page copy under the six writing rules in CLAUDE.md. One concrete claim per line. Short words, active voice. Run the swap test on every line: if a competitor could paste it unchanged onto their page, rewrite it or delete it.
规则:好读的进度汇报
Report progress in plain sentences: what changed, what failed, what comes next. No emoji checkmarks, no Successfully, no Perfect, no wall of bullets. Start with three lines; add detail only when it changes the next action.
