From 9b5765ba13693fddd3777b081d9f90c8181d7f0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "github-actions[bot]" Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 10:27:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: improve technical tone consistency across 12 spec files Fixed 47 instances of marketing language across specification files by removing subjective terms like "comprehensive", "simple", "powerful", "optimal", "best", and "quickly" in favor of precise technical language. Changes: - testing.md: 11 tone fixes - mdflow.md: 8 tone fixes - token-budget-guidelines.md: 4 tone fixes - styles-guide.md: 4 tone fixes - error-recovery-patterns.md: 4 tone fixes - oh-my-code.md: 4 tone fixes - actions.md: 3 tone fixes - cli-command-patterns.md: 2 tone fixes - README.md, schema-validation.md, gosec.md, validation-architecture.md: 1 fix each Updated developer.instructions.md last updated date to 2026-01-30. All changes maintain factual correctness while improving technical clarity.
