Use Ellipsis Character

MUST

MUST: Use the ellipsis character `…` (not ``)

Use … instead of three periods

Bad

Good

Why it matters

The proper ellipsis character (…) is a single character with correct spacing. Three periods (...) have wider spacing and look unprofessional. Use the real ellipsis character (Unicode U+2026) in all text.

The rules come from other people's skills and guidelines — Vercel, Rauno Freiberg, @Ibelick, impeccable, Emil Kowalski, Tailwind, RAMS — each one credited on the Sources page. The work here is extraction and wiring: every rule is pulled into one corpus, given a good and a bad example you can operate, a MUST/SHOULD/NEVER rule an agent can paste, and a link back to where it came from.
