Add a repository prose skill with rules and examples for writing without conversation history. Require agents to read it on entry, apply it before writing and publication, and pass it to delegates. Include staged prose and the final commit message in the existing design-review acknowledgment. Validation: skill validator and relative-link checks passed; all 18 existing commit-hook tests passed; git diff --cached --check passed. This documentation change does not alter runtime behavior. The hook checks acknowledgments, not semantic writing quality. Design-Signed-Off-By: Codex (GPT-6); design-review=4d3a Signed-off-by: Jason Cook <jasonc@maxlyn.com>

Repository prose can depend on the author's conversation history even when its code passes review. Add a canonical
repo-proseskill with concrete rewrite examples, and require agents to read it on entry, apply it before writing or publishing, and pass it to delegates. The requirement covers code prose, PR descriptions and edits, issue comments, and agent reports.The commit design checklist now includes prose review, and its existing acknowledgment covers review of the staged skill, changed prose, and final commit message. The hook still validates the checklist acknowledgment; semantic prose review remains the contributor's responsibility. Runtime behavior and package compatibility are unchanged.
Validation: skill validator, relative file links, and staged whitespace checks passed; all 18 existing commit-hook tests passed using an isolated pytest environment. Automated PR prose review is outside this change.
