# Prose style rules
This skill gives any writing agent the active prose style rules, so content comes out
correctly styled instead of being corrected afterwards.
## How to use
### 1. Resolve the active rule set
Same mechanism as `prose-style-checker` step 1, in short form. **Every miss is a silent
fall-through — never an error, never a prompt.**
**Baseline (always read):**
```
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/
```
This is also the path `/prose-style-refresh` asks this skill to resolve on its behalf, so that the command takes the baseline's location from the file that states it together with the rule that nothing writes into it, rather than restating either. When a caller asks for the baseline directory, hand back this expanded absolute path. It is read-only: nothing ever writes into it, because a plugin update replaces it.
**Overlay (read the first that resolves, then stop):**
1. `<repo-root>/.prose-style/rules/` — where `<repo-root>` is
`git rev-parse --show-toplevel` for the content being written, falling back to the
working directory's repository, falling back to no overlay. `prose-style-checker`
step 1b ends the same ladder at the deepest common parent of the files it was handed;
this one cannot, and the difference is the input rather than the rule — a checker is
given a file list, and content being written has no path yet to take a parent of.
2. `$PROSE_STYLE_PATH` — an absolute path to a rules directory.
3. Nothing — the baseline alone.
