Writing Rules
- Always cite the original source — never present third-party news without attribution
- Separate facts from commentary — "What Happened" is factual, "Our Take" is opinion
- Maximum 400 words total
- If the source is unverifiable or a rumor, flag with:
approval_level: "L3" and add ⚠️ Unverified to the title
- No sensationalism — report what happened, not what might happen
- Write "Our Take" from a builder/practitioner perspective, not analyst perspective
- File naming:
news-YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md
