7. Reword a shipped bullet and write one of your own

Where you are

.just-say-so-rules.json exists with the drafted bullets for ai-tells. The same file can change the shipped bullets.

Reword a shipped bullet

Open the rules and pick a bullet whose wording you would change. Its id is in rules/manifest.json; define-on-first-use is the one about terms. Add a bullet with that id to your file:

{ "id": "define-on-first-use", "full": "Define every term the reader may not know in the sentence that first uses it, then use it freely.", "short": "Define a term on first use.", "vale": [] }

A bullet with a shipped id replaces the shipped one in place: text, short text, and Vale rules alike. Giving a short text to a bullet that had none puts it in the condensed reminder for the first time.

Drop one

{ "id": "headings-and-lists", "drop": true }

That removes the shipped bullet from the full text and the reminder. The doctor warns when a drop names no shipped id.

Write a judgment bullet

The tag from chapter 3 has no bullet. Give it one:

{ "id": "undefined-term", "full": "Name the file or command a term refers to the first time it appears.", "short": "Say what a term refers to on first use.", "vale": [] }

The empty vale list marks a judgment bullet: the model follows it, and no linter checks it. From now on the summary classifies #undefined-term rejections as covered by a judgment bullet, which changes what advice says about them.

Check

The doctor’s extra rules line reads added N, replaced 1, dropped 1, with N one higher than before, and /just-say-so:rules shows your wording.

Next

Read the summary, run advise, apply a change. This one needs a few days of records first.
