Voice Rules per Audience

Audience-specific voice rules that extend universal copy rules. Feeds Pass A Phase 5 (voice check) and Pass B frontmatter tone calibration. Universal rules always apply first. Audience rules extend them but do not override a universal blocking rule. Full specification: workspace/plan/active/CONTENT-WRITING/Prompts/voice-rules.md

Universal Rules (all audiences)

Banned words (remove, do not soften): effectively, essentially, basically, meaningful, significant, real (as intensifier), various, several, obviously, clearly Banned phrases: “This section covers” | “This page covers / explains / walks you through” | “Understanding X is essential” | “It is important to note” | “As mentioned above” | “and so on” / “etc.” | “rather than” | “what it takes” | “it should be noted” | “not just X” | “can generate” / “may produce” in value claims Banned constructions: not [X] in value statements (state positive) | if [condition] in body prose (resolve the condition) | This page [verb] (delete self-reference) | can/may [verb] in value claims (assert directly) Opening order: Value or outcome before mechanism. Fact before caveat. Reader benefit before system description. Paragraph discipline: One paragraph, one job. Lead sentence states the fact. Final sentence ends on fact, number, or next step. Language: UK English throughout.
