Google developer style as default house style

decision · created 2026-08-19 · actor mai · confidence high · status active tags: content communication style humanizer

Context​

On 19 August 2026 Dwayne asked MAI to build a skill from the Google developer documentation style guide and use it for all communication. A standing humanizer rule already covers Dwayne-facing replies, dwaynehelena.com, and the Tech Leaders Brief.

Decision​

Use google-developer-style as the default writing style for all written communication. Apply it before humanizer. Project-specific rules still win: Telegram compact, title-first, no invented facts, and Dwayne's direct engineering voice.

The live skill is ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/google-developer-style/SKILL.md (applied proposal google-developer-style-20260818-90400a0285). The standing preference is in ~/.openclaw/workspace/USER.md.

Why​

One sourced style guide keeps replies, docs, and authored content consistent. Google's own precedence puts project-specific style first, so compact Telegram and humanizer do not get overwritten.

Rollback​

Dwayne can revoke the standing request or reject the proposal. Supersede this decision rather than deleting it.
