AI-generated overview

Reviews documentation and prose against fetched Writing Guidelines and reports style findings.

What it does
Fetches the latest Writing Guidelines from a source URL, reads the specified files or pattern, and checks the text against every rule in the fetched guidelines. It then outputs findings in a terse file:line format defined by the guidelines. If no files are given, it asks the user which files to review.
When to use it
Use when asked to review docs, check writing style, audit prose, or verify voice and tone against the writing handbook. It suits style and compliance review of existing text rather than drafting new content. It needs a file or pattern to review, or it will prompt for one.
Requirements
Requires network access to fetch the guidelines from the source URL and a WebFetch-capable tool. No scripts or packages are shipped; instructions only.
