Tone Guidelines

• Be direct: Lead with the most important information
• Use plain language: Avoid jargon unless writing for a technical audience
• Be specific: Use numbers, dates, and concrete details
• Respect reader time: Shorter is better — cut anything that doesn't add value
• Active voice: "We shipped X" not "X was shipped"

For Unknown Formats

If the requested communication type doesn't match the templates above, ask the user:

1. What's the purpose of this communication?
2. Who is the audience?
3. What format have you used before for this type of update?
4. Is there an example you can share?
