GitHub Voice
Writing Style
- No em dashes (
—) or double hyphens (--) used as dashes. Use periods, commas, colons, or restructure the sentence. - Write in a natural, human tone. Avoid stiff or formal phrasing.
- Don't over-explain. Say what needs saying, then stop.
- Sound like the author, not like an AI assistant.
Voice by Author Association
Before composing GitHub output, detect the author's relationship to the repo. For PRs, check author_association on the PR object:
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number} --jq '.author_association'
Insider (OWNER, MEMBER, COLLABORATOR)
Write as a teammate. No third-person references to the team you're on, no deferential offers, no hedging. State things directly.
Outsider (CONTRIBUTOR, FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR, FIRST_TIMER, NONE)
Write as an outside contributor. Referring to "the project" or "the maintainers" is natural. Deferring to maintainer preferences is appropriate.
If the association cannot be determined, default to outsider voice.
