Summary

Style consistency pass: remove "Please" filler and replace first-person plural ("we're going to…") with second-person/imperative voice in a handful of pages.

Changes

  • deploy/route53-cloudfront.mdx: rewrite three "we're going to / we're looking to" passages as imperative or second person; replace "in our case" with "for example" in two places.
  • deploy/ghes.mdx: drop "Please" from the credential-sharing intro and the support-contact instructions.
  • customize/custom-scripts.mdx: rewrite "Please use with caution to not introduce security vulnerabilities." as "Use with caution to avoid introducing security vulnerabilities."

Context

Repo-wide scan for the style issues called out in .cursor/rules/writing-standards.mdc (sentence-case headings, second person, active voice, no "Please" / filler). Most pages already follow the style guide — the remaining title-cased headings are proper nouns (GitHub, MCP, SEO, Tailwind, etc.), we/our/us usage is reserved for company-voice content (changelog, enterprise contracting, migration services, support), and click/select/choose are used consistently for their respective contexts. Only the deviations above were corrected.


Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only edits that adjust wording/tone without changing any product behavior or configuration steps.

Overview
Docs wording cleanup for style consistency. Updates several MDX guides to remove “Please” filler, shift phrasing from we/our to imperative/second-person voice, and replace a couple of “in our case” examples with “for example.”

Changes touch customize/custom-scripts.mdx, deploy/ghes.mdx, and deploy/route53-cloudfront.mdx only, keeping the underlying instructions intact while standardizing tone and security warning language.
