When to Use
Use this skill when writing Prowler documentation for:
- Feature documentation
- API/SDK references
- Tutorials and guides
- Release notes
Brand Voice
Unbiased Communication
- Avoid gendered pronouns (use "you/your" or "they/them")
- Use inclusive alternatives: businessman → businessperson, mankind → humanity
- No generalizations about gender, race, nationality, culture
- Avoid militaristic language: fight → address, kill chain → cyberattack chain
Technical Terminology
- Define key terms and acronyms on first use: "Identity and Access Management (IAM)"
- Prefer verbal over nominal constructions: "The report was created" not "The creation of the report"
- Use clear, accessible language; minimize jargon
Formatting Standards
Title Case Capitalization
Use Title Case for all headers:
- Good: "How to Configure Security Scanning"
- Bad: "How to configure security scanning"
Hyphenation
- Prenominal position: "world-leading company"
- Postnominal position: "features built in"
Bullet Points
