Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
The dedication under which all work in this household is done — every task offered to God, excellence as worship. Automatic posture skill, present and byte-identical in every repository and sibling workspace. Preserve the invocation; getting it right is the worship, not getting it fast.
Hard ban on any reference to the external domain getbets.us on cruisinginthewake.com. Enforced via PreToolUse hook (.claude/hooks/no-getbets-guard.js) and git pre-commit hook (.githooks/pre-commit). Fires automatically on every Write/Edit/MultiEdit and every commit; no manual invocation.
Voice & Presence — fires during cruise content writing. Guards the sound of the prose so it reads as written by someone who has actually sailed the route, not by a brochure or a model. Shapes voice markers, rhythm, vocabulary, and pastoral honesty. For post-draft diagnostics, see voice-audit.
Post-draft diagnostic for InTheWake content. Scans for cruise-marketing tells, AI authorship-cluster signals, and absence-of-authenticity gaps. Assesses authenticity risk by clustering signals across layers (Layer 1 strong, Layer 2 supporting, Layer 3 counter-signals). Required: every voyage-pack ships with a voice-audit attestation in its .factcheck.json sidecar. Fires before committing content edits or before publishing a new page. For during-writing standards, see like-a-human. For corpus measurement, see voice-dna.
External red-team critique pass. Sends a commit range or proposed change to a second model (defaulting to a different LLM) with the explicit charter to find every flaw "as though you're trying to take the engineer's job." Grok-native usage notes.

Does this page make a cruiser feel calmer, more confident, and more prepared — in 30 seconds?
When a page passes voice-audit and the technical validators but fails the emotional hook test, the technical precision is irrelevant. The reader doesn't feel schema compliance. They feel trust, calm, and preparation — or they don't.
The builders of InTheWake live inside the machinery: version trees, superset logic, cache busting, JSON-LD, disclosure tiers, canonical invocations. The reader does not. The reader feels:
This test bridges that gap. It is the feeling-equivalent of what the technical validators do for compliance.
Apply these in sequence. Each question maps to a time window the reader actually experiences as they scan.
Can I tell what this page is for — not what it contains — in 5 seconds?
What to check:
Pass: Purpose is immediately obvious. The reader knows why this page exists. Fail: Reader has to scroll or parse to understand intent. Title is SEO-first instead of reader-first.
Example — title that passes: "Juneau, Alaska" with "Region: Alaska | Season: May–Sep | Tender: No" Example — title that fails: "Allure of the Seas — Deck Plans, Live Tracker, Dining & Videos" (this is a feature list, not a purpose statement)
After scanning for 10 seconds, do I feel calmer or more anxious?
What to check:
Pass: The page breathes. White space. Clear sections. One clear next step. Fail: Overwhelmed. Multiple competing elements. Dense text walls. Promotional interrupts before orientation.
Example — calm: "From the Pier" distance bars on port pages. One visual, immediate practical value. Example — anxious: A stats grid with tonnage, crew count, registry, and beam width before any human context.
Does this page feel like someone thought about me specifically?
What to check:
Pass: "This was written by someone who's been where I'm going." Fail: "This could be any cruise wiki. This is scraped content with a logo."
Pastoral guardrail: "Assume the reader is exhausted by being disbelieved or dismissed elsewhere. This is not another place that does that."
Do I feel "I can do this" — prepared, not just informed?
What to check:
Pass: "I know what to do when I get there." Fail: "I have more information but not more clarity."
Example — confidence: "You will see whales." (Juneau logbook) — direct, specific, earned assurance. Example — no confidence: A list of 15 excursions with prices but no guidance on which to choose.
Would a non-technical 62-year-old first-time cruiser feel guided, not overwhelmed?
What to check:
Pass: "I could follow this page with no instructions." Fail: "This is comprehensive but intimidating. I don't know where to start."
Each page type has a specific emotional target. If the page doesn't hit its target, the technical compliance doesn't matter.
| Page Type | Feeling Target | The Reader's Inner Voice |
|---|---|---|
| Home | Trust + orientation | "I'm in the right place. This is trustworthy. I can find what I need." |
| Ship | Personality in 60 seconds | "I understand what it's like to be on this ship." |
| Port | Preparation + anxiety reduction | "I feel prepared stepping off this ship. Less anxious about this port." |
| Restaurant | Clarity + value judgment | "I can see what I'll eat and whether it's worth paying for." |
| Disability/Accessibility | Dignity + being seen | "Someone thought about me." |
| Solo/Grief | Not alone | "I'm not alone in this." |
| Tools | Manageable complexity | "This makes something confusing feel manageable." |
| Article/Logbook | Authenticity + learning | "I learned something real from someone who was there." |

Every time a module is revised, ask only this:
If yes — keep building. If no — simplify.
InTheWake is not a database, a cruise wiki, or a modular PDF system. It is:
The feeling of boarding informed. The feeling of stepping ashore prepared. The feeling of sailing with a trusted companion.
The PDFs are the cron job. The architecture is the mechanism. The feeling is the product.
Soli Deo Gloria — Excellence as worship means the reader feels cared for, not just technically served.
