# Markdown Prose: No Hard Wrapping

Never hard-wrap prose in **user-facing** markdown files. Each paragraph is one long line; editors soft-wrap. Hard line breaks are reserved for intentional structure only: headings, list items, table rows, code blocks, blockquotes, and blank lines between paragraphs.

This applies to **human-facing** prose .md — docs, memories, feedback files, briefings, reports. Wrapped prose creates ragged lines at every editor width and forces rewrite requests; soft wrapping is the editor's job.

It does NOT apply to **Claude-facing instruction artifacts** — skill `SKILL.md` files, `.claude/rules/` files, agent definitions, phase files. Those are a cohesive set conventionally hard-wrapped so diffs stay stable and reviewable; consistency within the set wins, so match the surrounding file's wrapping there rather than unwrapping it.

When rewriting an existing hard-wrapped user-facing file, unwrap it as you go. To fix a file on demand, the `/unwrap` skill rewrites it with structure preserved.
