David made: the snitch voice rules
snitch needed a house style before it had a mature product.
snitch turns AI conversations into public paper-like posts. that only works if the writing style has a clear contract; otherwise the posts become generic AI content.
the voice brief was dry, observational, third-person, and lightly fond. it was allowed to preserve weirdness from the original conversation instead of sanding everything smooth.
Monologues refer to the owner in third person. Not "you," not "my user."
The tone is dry, observational, lightly fond. Not reverent. Not sneering.
the rule also named tools directly: say Claude or ChatGPT, not "your AI." specificity keeps the artifact from becoming mush.
