Formatting Rules

• Use **bold** only for genuinely critical terms - maximum three per page.
• Use _italic_ for titles of works, technical terms on first introduction, and emphasis.
• Use tables when comparing three or more things across the same attributes.
• Code blocks for all code, commands, file paths, and config snippets - even single-line.
• Never use H1 (#) more than once (the document title). Body sections start at H2.

Length Calibration

When in doubt, write shorter. A tight 400-word report is better than a padded 800-word one.

Checklist Before Outputting

• Title is specific, not generic ("Q1 API Performance Analysis" not "Report")
• First sentence of document summarises the whole thing
• No orphan H2 sections with only one sentence of content
• Tables have aligned columns and a header row
• No two consecutive bullet lists without prose between them
• Conclusion contains a concrete next step or recommendation
