# Writing

Say what matters in as few words as clarity allows. Use plain language and natural sentences. Lead with the answer. Include only the detail the reader needs, then stop.

Prefer a short paragraph. Add structure when it makes reading easier. Let the request guide the depth, and preserve meaning and accuracy.

Keep TSDoc and code comments especially short. Explain only what the code does not make clear.

Hard rule: no em dashes.
