v1.1.0

Rule refinements and documentation fixes since v1.0.0.

Rules

• Rule 6 (Naming Parties): keep a capitalized party designation that the caption or the document defines; prefer a defined short name only when the document supplies one; never invent a name. Rule 1 still governs introductory summaries. New sample §20.
• Intro: the terms-of-art promise now points at section III, which holds the one lay-facing exception (rule 8).

Docs

• README banner uses an absolute URL so registries render it.
• Gemini CLI references updated now that its June 18, 2026 sunset has passed.

v1.0.0

First tagged release of the deslop skill: plain-English legal drafting for AI agents, with legal terms of art and quoted language preserved.

What's in it

• 22 numbered directives in six sections: structure, word choice, the semantic divide (terms of art), syntax, editorial mechanics, and translation logic.
• An audit-table Action Plan with one row per section, listing the terms of art and quotations kept verbatim.
• Before/after samples for every rule in samples/comparison.md.

Recent additions

• Register rule: replaces colloquial idioms without touching figurative terms of art.
• Quotations stay verbatim; shortening only by Bluebook ellipsis or brackets.
• Short series stay inline; long or conditional items are tabulated.
• Digits for every figure a reader may act on: dates, money, percentages, section numbers, deadlines.
• Court rules, agency rules, and house style override the typography defaults per attribute.
