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:

bash
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.
