# Content Quality Audit Skill

Your handbook content guardian! This skill detects formatting issues, inappropriate punctuation, generic phrases, and inconsistent heading styles that make content sound like "AI slop."

## Quick Start

```
/content-audit check src/lib/handbook-content.ts
```

---

## What This Skill Checks

### ✗ Inappropriate Asterisks & Dashes
- `*text*` (italics within sentences) - Remove or use proper formatting
- `**text**` (bold within sentences) - Should be rare, only for emphasis
- `—` (em-dashes for separation) - Replace with periods or commas
- Multiple punctuation marks `!!!` `...` - Use single punctuation

### ✗ Generic AI Phrases ("AI Slop")
- "innovative", "transformative", "cutting-edge"
- "seamlessly", "elegantly", "beautifully"
- "harnesses the power of", "leverages AI"
- "game-changing", "revolutionary", "next-generation"
- "empowering", "enabling", "facilitating"
- Just be specific about what it does

### ✗ Inconsistent Heading Sizes & Styles
- All section headings should use `**Heading Name**` format
- Check that heading font sizes are consistent in CSS
- Headings: "The Idea", "Products Doing It Right", "When to Use"
- All should render at same size and weight

### ✗ Flowery Language Patterns
- Parenthetical asides (use sentences instead)
- Hedge words: "might", "perhaps", "arguably"
- Overly descriptive adjectives
- Marketing-speak that oversells

## Examples

### ❌ Before (AI Slop)
"This **innovative pattern** *seamlessly* harnesses the power of AI—offering users a beautifully crafted experience that elegantly transforms how they interact with technology!"

### ✓ After (Clear & Direct)
"This pattern shows users what the AI is thinking. Claude displays step-by-step reasoning. Perplexity shows sources. Users understand the logic."

## Heading Font Sizes to Verify

| Heading | CSS Class | Font Size | Weight |
|---------|-----------|-----------|--------|
| The Idea | h3 / strong | 14-15px | 600-700 |
| Products Doing It Right | h3 / strong | 14-15px | 600-700 |
| When to Use | h3 / strong | 14-15px | 600-700 |
| DO ✓ / DON'T ✗ | h3 / strong | 14-15px | 600-700 |
| Key Insight | h3 / strong | 14-15px | 600-700 |

All should be consistent size and weight.
