Why it matters

User-generated content is unpredictable. Test your layouts with short text, average text, and extremely long text without spaces. Use text overflow strategies like ellipsis, word-wrap, or scrolling to handle edge cases gracefully.

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.
