# Unslop
Follow the consuming project's instructions and requested scope; use the
[portable defaults](../orbyn-workflow/references/project-policy.md) only where guidance is missing.
Lead with the concrete result or action. Use familiar words and verbs, one main
idea per paragraph, and headings only when they help navigation. Remove filler,
repetition, inflated claims, forced contrasts and decorative formatting.
Preserve the user's writing style when editing their material. Preserve exact
names, measured results, caveats, attribution and uncertainty. Do not manufacture
metrics or remove evidence to make prose sound stronger. Code comments should
explain non-obvious constraints rather than narrate the next line.
Use [content design](../orbyn-content-design/SKILL.md) for product copy. Do not
rewrite user-authored product content as a side effect of UI simplification.
Read the edited passage as a whole; a checklist of forbidden words cannot prove
clear writing.
Use [social-content](../social-content/SKILL.md) for social post strategy, author
voice, platform adaptation and carousel copy; this skill supplies the prose pass.
Use [social-preview](../social-preview/SKILL.md) for rendered feed mockups and
attached visuals. Editing a caption does not require generating visual assets.
+ ## Comments inside source
+
+ Prefer clear names and straightforward code for local mechanics. Preserve a
+ non-obvious invariant, ordering requirement, ownership boundary, compatibility
+ reason or deliberate tradeoff beside the code whose safe modification depends on
+ it. Explain the consequence of breaking the constraint; avoid narrating an obvious
+ assignment or using a comment to excuse unnecessary complexity.
+
+ For example, “Keep pending work visible so later submissions cannot reuse partial
+ state after an interrupted run” preserves a reason; “set the pending flag” merely
+ repeats the operation. Recheck nearby claims when behavior changes: correct stale
+ explanations and remove obsolete narration. Preserve legal notices, generated-code
+ warnings and useful safety/compatibility rationale under the project's conventions.
+ Do not apply blanket comment deletion or a required comment count.
+
+ Keep changing CI status and long experiment history in existing evidence/docs.
+ A link may supplement essential rationale, but should not replace it. Comments
+ are claims, not enforcement; critical behavior still needs the appropriate code
+ structure, assertion or regression. With authorized edits, move durable review
+ reasoning into clearer code or a source comment; review-only work changes neither.
+ Use the [review feedback contract](../orbyn-workflow/references/engineering-scope.md#actionable-review-feedback)
+ for findings and delivery authority.

## Operational method
Use the [local operating method](references/operating-method.md) for the execution
sequence, concrete failure case, expected result and stopping condition. It is
Orbyn-authored guidance; historical source notices remain in provenance.
