# Skill Title
One line: the essence of this style in a sentence fragment.
## The core rule
**The single bolded sentence that IS this skill.** One or two sentences of
sharpening — what this style is really doing and the failure it prevents.
Workflow: `first move` → `second move` → `third move` → `run the Verify checklist`.
## Mechanics
1. **Named rule.** Concrete and checkable — a cap, a ban list, a required shape.
2. **Named rule.** "X not Y" with a real example inline.
3. **Named rule.** Numbers where possible (sentence length, ratios, counts).
4. **Named rule.** For voices: include a rate-limit that prevents caricature.
## Verify
- Checkable statement (an agent can pass/fail this mechanically)
- Checkable statement
- Checkable statement
## Do not
- The tempting mistake this style invites
- The failure mode that looks like the style but isn't
## Example transformations
**Before:** "A realistic 'default prose' input."
**After:** "The same content, transformed by the mechanics above."
**Before:** "A second, different-shaped input."
**After:** "Its transformation."
