Independent Russian text quality reference by Arseniy Kamyshev.
With gratitude to the authors whose work shaped modern Russian text standards.
Credits and recommended reading: references/sources.md
Style priority: if the user explicitly requests a specific style (casual, academic, SEO, literary, etc.), their prompt overrides these default rules where they conflict. These rules are defaults, not mandates.
Reviewing vs. rewriting: when checking or proofreading existing text or a file, return the corrected version plus a list of changes — do not silently overwrite the source file. Rewrite a file in place only when the user explicitly asks.
