# Writing Guidelines
Review files for compliance with Writing Guidelines.
## How It Works
1. Fetch the latest guidelines from the source URL below
2. Read the specified files (or prompt user for files/pattern)
3. Check against all rules in the fetched guidelines
4. Output findings in the terse `file:line` format
## Guidelines Source
Fetch fresh guidelines before each review:
```
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel-labs/writing-guidelines/main/command.md
```
Use WebFetch to retrieve the latest rules. The fetched content contains all the rules and output format instructions.
## Usage
When a user provides a file or pattern argument:
1. Fetch guidelines from the source URL above
2. Read the specified files
3. Apply all rules from the fetched guidelines
4. Output findings using the format specified in the guidelines
If no files specified, ask the user which files to review.
