Content Style Constraints

Content constraints and scope restrictions define what the model says. Style constraints define how it says it — word choice, sentence structure, voice, tone, and formatting habits.

Style constraints are important because even perfectly accurate content can fail if delivered in the wrong voice. A technical manual written in casual slang, or a friendly app copy written in legal English, creates friction for the reader.

Jargon exclusion is one of the most commonly needed style constraints:

• "No jargon — write for a reader with no technical background."
• "Avoid marketing jargon like 'synergy', 'leverage', 'disrupt'."
• "No medical terminology — use plain language equivalents."
• "No acronyms unless spelled out on first use."

Be specific about which type of jargon to avoid. Saying just "no jargon" is ambiguous — technical jargon and marketing jargon are very different, and the model may only suppress one.
