SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing rules and skill prose for Claudinite packs is easy to get wrong: rules that never trigger, bloated prose that wastes every session's context budget, and rationale that gets lost. This Skill encodes the editorial standards for pack prose so every rule is brief, findable, and fires when needed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Rule rationing and shaping: Enforces one sentence per rule near 40 words, at most two new rules per extraction pass, and trigger-keyed phrasing so rules actually fire. - References doc management: Defines the per-pack references.md mechanism — numbered rationale entries, bare markers in prose, check entries, and migration of existing packs. - Auditing and rewriting: Provides criteria for auditing existing rule files and rewriting rules without weakening or strengthening them. - Use Case: When landing a lesson learned as a new rule in a pack's RULES.md, load this Skill to phrase the trigger correctly, keep the rule within the ration, and record its rationale in references.md. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to write or revise a rule in a pack's RULES.md or SKILL.md following the pack prose standards.

Frequently Asked Questions about writing-pack-prose

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a rule for a Claudinite pack RULES.md?▼

Write one sentence near 40 words containing the trigger, the directive, and a consequence clause only where needed. Open with the act the reader is performing, in bold, using the words the reader would use for the situation.

How many rules can I add to a pack at once?▼

An extraction pass adds at most two rules. If more candidates clear the bar, write the two strongest and drop the rest — real lessons will recur in future sessions.

What is the references.md file in a Claudinite pack?▼

It is a per-pack document holding the rationale behind rules and checks, keyed by stable numbered entries cited with bare markers like (3) in the prose. It exists for maintenance review only and is never loaded during agentic work.

When should a rule move from RULES.md into a SKILL.md?▼

Only when the skill's force-load-on-file-edits-paths covers every moment the rule is needed. A rule that must fire at a moment no file edit predicts stays as prose in RULES.md.

Can I rewrite an existing pack rule to improve it?▼

Yes, but a rewrite must carry the source's own strength forward — it must neither weaken nor strengthen the rule. The only permitted addition is an explicit pointer from a general rule to its exception.
