Summary

Check existing published content against the style guide at writing/texts/style-guide.md and fix violations. Then ensure ongoing compliance through tooling.

Motivation

The style guide exists but compliance is not verified. Content written by agents may not follow the guide. Without a check, style drift accumulates silently.

Steps

  1. Read the style guide and extract checkable rules (e.g., lowercase emsenn, no vague adverbs, active voice, no Lakota grounding in agent writing).
  2. Build or configure a check-note-style skill invocation that covers these rules.
  3. Run the check across published content directories. Record the violations.
  4. Fix violations in batches, prioritizing high-traffic pages.
  5. Integrate the style check into the improve-files skill family (plan 0016) so it runs on edited files.

Done when

  • Style guide rules encoded as checkable criteria
  • Published content audited for violations
  • Violations fixed
  • Style check integrated into routine editing workflow

Dependencies

Plan 0016 (improve-files skill family) — the style check should be part of the file improvement pipeline.
