**Authoritative rules live in `rules.md`.** This file is generated by `/voice:distill` from the corpus and supplements those rules with cadence, register, and grounding samples.

This is a starter template. Run `/voice:distill` after populating the corpus to regenerate it with patterns drawn from your actual writing.
