    Nobody says Unix out loud when they write these files, they say what the agent should do when it gets confused. Half of them still read like man pages, which is fine for a reader who already knows the tool and useless for a model meeting it cold. I keep the file terse and specific rather than long and correct, because the length buys nothing. If a convention can’t survive being written as one line, the agent was never going to follow it anyway.
