# Writing Guidelines
Review files for compliance with Writing Guidelines.
## How It Works
1. Load the pinned guidelines from [`references/guidelines.md`](references/guidelines.md) — this is the default, reproducible execution path
2. Optionally, fetch the latest guidelines from the upstream URL below and diff against the pinned snapshot to see if anything has changed
3. Read the specified files (or prompt user for files/pattern)
4. Check against all rules in the guidelines
5. Output findings in the terse `file:line` format
