Patterns to avoid in all written content. Read the examples in references/ for voice - don't follow rules mechanically. Never use the correlative construction. This is the #1 AI tell: "X isn't just Y - it's Z" "It's not about X, it's about Y" "Schools aren't just buildings - they're communities" Find another way. State the thing directly. 1. Setup phrases: "The best part? ..." / "The secret? ..." / "Here's the thing..." 2. Staccato fragments: "No fluff. No filler. Just results." 3. Triple adjectives: "Fast, efficient, reliable" (grouping in threes) 4. Cliché openers: "In today's fast-paced..." / "In the ever-evolving..." 5. Dramatic punctuation: "Let that sink in" / "Now more than ever" 6. Thesaurus abuse: utilize, implement, facilitate, leverage, comprehensive, crucial 7. Fake questions: "Sound familiar?" / "Ready to level up?" 8. Transition tells: "And here's the kicker" / "Enter: [thing]" Dashes: hyphens with spaces - like this - not em dashes (—) No emojis in body content No bold for emphasis within paragraphs Read these for the vibe, not as rules: references/pirate-wires-examples.md - 11 annotated examples showing voice in action references/pirate-wires-style.md - Voice breakd
