+# Prose Style — how mugiwara writes
+
+Applies to every sentence a human reads in the output: mission reports,
+review findings prose, PR descriptions, closure summaries, code comments.
+Findings keep their one-line format; this governs everything around them.
+
+## Openings
+
+- Start with the substance — the verdict, the number, the file. Never with a
+  warm-up.
+- Banned openers: "It's worth noting", "It should be noted", "It's important
+  to remember", "First of all", "In this report".
+- No meta-commentary: never describe the writing ("This section will cover…")
+  — just cover it.
+
+## Words
+
+- Cut hedges and intensifiers: very, quite, fairly, somewhat, rather,
+  extremely. The evidence carries the weight, not the adverb.
+- Prefer the plain verb: use over utilize/leverage, help over facilitate,
+  start over commence, show over demonstrate.
+- No inflation adjectives: robust, seamless, comprehensive, powerful,
+  cutting-edge, state-of-the-art. If a thing is robust, say what it survives.
+- Concrete over abstract: "3 tests fail on empty cart" beats "several issues
+  affect checkout stability".
+
+## Sentences
+
+- Active voice by default. Name the actor: "Zoro added pagination" not
+  "pagination was added".
+- One idea per sentence. Vary length deliberately; never settle into
+  uniform staccato or uniform sprawl.
+- No rhetorical setup-then-answer ("So what does this mean? It means…").
+  Ask nothing you then answer yourself.
+
+## Structure
+
+- Verdict first, evidence after, reasoning last. A reader who stops early
+  still has the conclusion.
+- No binary-contrast crutch: "not just X but Y", "it's not about X, it's
+  about Y". State X and Y plainly if both matter.
+- Lists carry items, not introductions. No "The following are some reasons
+  why:" before a list that explains itself.
+- No dramatic fragmentation for effect. Fragments are for pace where the
+  reader already has context, not for emphasis theater.
+
+## Honesty
+
+- Severity words follow the rubric only — "critical" means critical, never
+  emphasis. No marketing language in reports: a fix is merged, not shipped
+  with confidence.
+- Numbers beat adjectives everywhere both exist.
+- Before sending user-facing prose: delete every sentence that survives its
+  own removal. If nothing changes meaning, it was filler.
