What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Generates a WRITING.md file with YAML tokens for prose consistency — voice, tense, forbidden words, citation format, equation format, locked spellings — paired with usage rationale. Use when establishing prose standards, updating style rules, or when user says "WRITING.md", "style guide", "prose standards", "writing tokens", "voice", "style system", or "writing rules". Does NOT write content — generates the style reference only.
