Markdown (.md) files are for human readers.
A developer writes these files to share research and rules with other people. An AI model can understand these files, but they are not for AI configuration.
A developer writes Markdown files for human understanding. The files should read like a person thinking through ideas. They are not for AI instructions or system prompts. A developer should use clear language and real examples. The writing style should be conversational, like a person explaining something to a colleague. These files share research and rules with other people.
A developer writes a Markdown file to explain a new coding standard. The developer includes examples of good and bad code. The developer explains why each rule is important. This helps other developers learn and follow the standard. If the developer wrote it like an AI config file, other developers would find it hard to understand.
