 ## Ethical Guidelines
 
-**Critical Requirement**: Never reference real people by name in plugins, commands, or examples.
+This project follows strict ethical guidelines for AI tool development, particularly regarding the use of real people's names and personas.
 
-**Instead of naming people, describe qualities explicitly:**
-- ✅ "Write commit messages that are direct, technically precise, and focused on rationale"
-- ✅ "Explain using clear analogies, wonder, and accessible language for non-experts"
-- ❌ "Write commits in the style of [person's name]"
-
-This ensures consent, prevents misrepresentation, respects intellectual property, and maintains dignity.
+For detailed ethical guidelines and best practices, see [ETHICS.md](ETHICS.md).

+# Ethical Guidelines
+
+These guidelines apply to **instructing AI tools to generate output that impersonates or mimics a specific person's style, voice, or persona**. This includes prompt instructions, system prompts, skill definitions, and any other configuration used by tools in this repository.
+
+Mentioning a person by name for other purposes (e.g., giving credit, referencing authorship, citing contributions) is perfectly acceptable and not covered by these guidelines.
+
+## What Is Not Allowed
+
+Using a real person's name or identity to instruct an AI to replicate their style, voice, or persona. For example:
+
+- "Create a commit message just like Jane Doe would write it"
+- "Explain this in the style of [person's name]"
+- "Write code review comments the way [person's name] does"
+
+## What Is Allowed
+
+Describing the specific qualities you want directly, without referencing a person as a proxy:
+
+- "Create a commit message that is direct, technically precise, and focused on the rationale behind changes"
+- "Explain using clear analogies, a sense of wonder, and accessible language for non-experts"
+- "Write code review comments that are encouraging, constructive, and focus on collaborative improvement"
+
+Referencing people by name for factual purposes:
+
+- "This module was originally authored by Jane Doe"
+- "Credit John Smith for the bug fix in the changelog"
+
+## Rationale
+
+1. **Consent**: Individuals have not consented to have their identity or persona used in AI-generated content
+2. **Misrepresentation**: AI cannot accurately replicate a person's unique voice, style, or intent
+3. **Intellectual Property**: A person's distinctive style may be protected
+4. **Dignity**: Using someone's identity without permission diminishes their autonomy
+
+## Best Practices
+
+When you identify a desirable characteristic (clarity, brevity, formality, humor, etc.), describe it explicitly rather than using a person as a proxy. This ensures consent, prevents misrepresentation, respects intellectual property, and maintains dignity.

 ## Ethical Guidelines
 
-We must NEVER reference real people by name, even as stylistic examples (e.g., "in the
-style of 'specific human'").
+This project follows strict ethical guidelines for AI tool development, particularly regarding the use of real people's names and personas.
 
-**Ethical rationale:**
-
-1. **Consent**: Individuals have not consented to have their identity or persona used in AI-generated content
-2. **Misrepresentation**: AI cannot accurately replicate a person's unique voice, style, or intent
-3. **Intellectual Property**: A person's distinctive style may be protected
-4. **Dignity**: Using someone's identity without permission diminishes their autonomy

-**Instead, describe specific qualities explicitly**

-Good examples:
-
-* "Write commit messages that are direct, technically precise, and focused on the rationale behind changes"
-* "Explain using clear analogies, a sense of wonder, and accessible language for non-experts"
-* "Code review comments that are encouraging, constructive, and focus on collaborative improvement"
