File contents

Writing Guidelines

Review files for compliance with Writing Guidelines.

This skill is a Lemma-owned pin at .agents/skills/lemma-writing-guidelines/ (project agent skills). It is not a Lemma product skill; do not copy it into skills/. Do not install upstream writing-guidelines from vercel-labs/agent-skills into this folder: that skill name is different on purpose so npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill writing-guidelines cannot overwrite this pin.

How It Works

Read the pinned rules in command.md in this directory
Read the specified files (or prompt user for files/pattern)
Apply the whole pin (overlay plus body). There is no skip layer
Output findings in the terse file:line format

Guidelines Source

The pinned copy is the source of truth for reviews in this repo:

.agents/skills/lemma-writing-guidelines/command.md

skills-lock.json tracks this folder as a local skill so the skills CLI will not fetch GitHub and replace the pin. Optional handbook refresh (manual only):

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel-labs/writing-guidelines/main/command.md

Refresh procedure: fetch that URL, keep the Lemma overlay, drop Vercel-only sections (pricing, dashboard deep links, ACME, AI Gateway catalog IDs, vercel/examples), keep this SKILL.md, then refresh skills-lock.json computedHash with the skills CLI folder hash (localeCompare file order). If a CLI reinstall deleted command.md, restore it from git.

Usage

When a user provides a file or pattern argument:

Read command.md
Read the specified files
Apply the whole pin
Output findings using the format specified in the guidelines

If no files specified, ask the user which files to review.
