Three of the nine live job types generate images rather than transform video. Also removes two em-dashes, banned site-wide by writing-style.md. --- README.md | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index dacef01..40ce1c0 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -6,8 +6,8 @@

Apex writing-style.md bans the em-dash site-wide as an AI-aesthetic tell, and apex brand-consistency.md names the exact string this file blessed as its canonical BAD example. The two rulebooks contradicted each other, which is why the em-dash survived in package.json until today. Fixing the string without fixing the rule would just let the next agent put it back. --- CLAUDE.md | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md index f7a4273..f9482e5 100644 --- a/CLAUDE.md +++ b/CLAUDE.md @@ -38,11 +38,17 @@ Critical rules embedded here so you don't need to context-switch: (lowercase except in URLs / package names), `https://www.rendobar.com`, `http://rendobar.com`, apex page links without a trailing slash. -### `package.json description` — em-dash, sentence case +### `package.json description` — colon, sentence case -- ✅ `"Rendobar CLI — serverless video processing from your terminal."` +The em-dash is BANNED.
