SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This deprecated skill previously solved the problem of inconsistent, overly promotional language in Forge Harness project documentation and file metadata that reduces clarity and professionalism. Its functionality has been merged into the harness-doctor --lint mode as of 2026-06-02.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Promotional Language Detection: Scans project files for self-marketing phrases, overly positive cushion words, and unsubstantiated version brag patterns (now handled by harness-doctor Step 3-L).
  • Documentation Standardization: Helps maintain neutral, consistent tone across all project documentation and description fields in a Forge Harness portfolio (now handled by harness-doctor Step 3-L).
  • Use Case: A project maintainer could previously use this skill to audit all README and track files in their Forge Harness project to remove phrases like "industry-leading" or "the best version ever" to align with team documentation standards.
