Enforce markdown compatibility by standardizing content to ASCII-first text, avoiding EM dashes, and ensuring UTF-8 encoding across repository documentation. This reduces defects and maintains auditable quality for in-repo docs, references, and living guidelines.

Standardize script generation by requiring clear headers, documenting all functions, implementing robust error handling, and ensuring predictable outputs. This disciplined approach reduces defects and enables automated vetting for consistent tooling.

Apply documentation quality guidelines to every new or updated script and markdown document. Enforce explicit Quick Start instructions and structured frontmatter metadata to standardize both new and existing repository content.

Yes, this documentation linting approach works for teams producing code, docs, and release notes. It enforces coding standards and documentation discipline wherever markdown compatibility and script-generation quality matter across the repository.

Frontmatter metadata is required for automated vetting to enable consistent tooling and enforce documentation discipline. It allows automated systems to parse, validate, and standardize markdown content and scripts across the repository.

The limitations of these coding standards include strict ASCII-first content requirements and the prohibition of EM dashes, meaning contributors must strictly avoid non-ASCII characters to pass automated quality checks and maintain markdown compatibility.
