Purpose

Style Guidelines

Documentation Style

Do:

• Use active voice
• Be concise and direct
• Use present tense for descriptions
• Include examples
• Structure with clear headings

Don't:

• Use passive voice unnecessarily
• Be verbose or redundant
• Use jargon without explanation
• Write walls of text

Commit Message Style

Format:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

[optional body]

[optional footer]

Types:

• feat: New feature
• fix: Bug fix
• docs: Documentation
• style: Formatting
• refactor: Code restructuring
• test: Tests
• chore: Maintenance

Good Examples:

Token expires after 24 hours for security.

Closes #123

Bad Examples:
