019f81c5-c6f2-7521-8903-8700937a16d0Burak Yigit Kaya adopted Orwell's six rules of writing (avoid stale/dead metaphors, cut unnecessary words, prefer active voice, use plain everyday words over jargon/scientific terms, avoid passive voice, break any rule sooner than write something barbarous) as a standing directive for ALL prose output — docs, PR descriptions, commit messages, chat messages, blog copy. The assistant should run every prose output through these rules before delivering. Does NOT apply to code, identifiers, or technical terms where precision matters (e.g. 'merge-base', 'embedding', 'advisory'). Rule 6 (break rules rather than be barbarous) is the escape hatch for thesis-level contrasts or technical funnel metaphors that are accurate rather than clichéd. Complements existing blog-voice guidance [[019f81b2-2817-76ec-b7cd-79a5b4c51601]] which is blog-specific.
