Target\nglobal-doc: docs/ai/writing-docs.md\n\n## Observations addressed\n- Observation 1 (dotfiles/log.md): Compression can weaken corrective guardrails → changed: added bullet "When compressing instructions, remove redundancy without reducing enforcement force. Imperative wording and explicit fallback paths guard against known failure modes; preserve them even when shortening for context budget."\n- Observation 2 (dotfiles/log.md): Explain why guardrails exist when model behavior depends on it → changed: added bullet "Keep compact rationale for judgment-heavy rules. A model must generalize the rule to unlisted cases; without the why, it satisfies only the literal surface form."\n- Observation 3 (dotfiles/log.md): Code guardrails need failure-mode rationale → changed: added bullet "Keep failure-mode rationale alongside safety-critical rules. Name the required behavior and what goes wrong otherwise. Bare imperatives are easier to rationalize around than imperatives paired with a concrete failure description."\n- Observation 4 (dotfiles/log.md): Positive phrasing is better for tradeoff guidance → already partially addressed by the existing "Lead with the positive action" bullet; no additional change needed.
