Overlay
Keep a short file in the consuming project. Default dest: docs/smellcheck.md. Point at this package, then only:
- Pronouns per surface (and who speaks on a filing)
- Terms that pass the applicability heuristic *here*, with one-line why
- Protected maxims / testimony
- Genre extras that are house law
Do not fork core.md. Do not restate the hard bans.
This package protects:
- Earn the word.
- Spray the prose, not the author.
- Have you smell-checked that?
Site and README speak as the product (Smell Check / it). No corporate we. No builder I.
Skeleton
Copy examples/overlay.md to docs/smellcheck.md and fill the blanks. A filled card for this package: examples/overlay.smellcheck.md.
# Smell Check overlay
House overlay on `smellcheck`. Core bans live in the package. This file
is only what is true here.
Do not restate the hard bans. Do not fork `core.md`.
## Pronouns
- Essays / personal drafts:
- Landing / marketing:
- Outreach:
- Filings (who speaks):
- Papers:
## Terms usually allowed here (not exhaustive)
| Term | Why it earns its keep |
| --- | --- |
| | |
## Protected lines
This package already protects:
- Earn the word.
- Spray the prose, not the author.
- Have you smell-checked that?
Add house maxims or verbatim testimony below.
## Genre extras (house law only)After install
