Reviewer Prompt

Documentation should use direct, precise language that accurately describes components and their behavior. Maintain consistent grammatical structure throughout related documentation sections for improved readability.

For command-line options and parameters:

  • Use direct statements rather than “Whether to…” phrasing when possible
  • Clearly state both what an option does and the default behavior it modifies
  • Be specific about the purpose and constraints of parameters

Example improvements:

- /// Whether to prefer uv-managed or system Python installations.
+ /// Disable use of uv-managed Python distributions.
+ ///
+ /// Instead, uv will search for a suitable Python installation on the system.

- /// Only print the final value
+ /// Only show the version
+ ///
+ /// By default, uv will show the project name before the version.

- /// The directory to store the Python installation in.
+ /// The directory Python installations are stored in.

- /// Upgrades will not remove lower installed patch versions.
+ /// During an upgrade, uv will not uninstall outdated patch versions.

For grammatical consistency, maintain the same tense within related sections, especially in enums where options are presented together. This improves scanning and comprehension of documentation.
