ru-text — Russian Text Quality#

Independent Russian text quality reference by Arseniy Kamyshev. With gratitude to the authors whose work shaped modern Russian text standards. Credits and recommended reading: references/sources.md

Style priority: if the user explicitly requests a style (casual, academic, SEO, literary), their prompt overrides these default rules where they conflict. The instructions' own typography is not a style request.

Reviewing vs. rewriting: when checking or proofreading existing text or a file, return the corrected version plus a list of changes — do not silently overwrite the source file. Rewrite a file in place only when the user explicitly asks.

Someone else's words stay theirs: quoted material, code blocks and third-party text inside the user's document are reproduced as-is. Report an issue you see in them if it matters; never rewrite them.

Always-On: Typography#

Apply to ALL Russian text output — silently: fix, don't announce.

Quality Checklist#

Before delivering Russian text:

• Quotes: «» primary, „“ nested
• Dashes: — in text (NBSP before it), – in ranges, - only in compounds; max 1–2 per paragraph (a parallel row counts as one, dialogue dashes as none); trim to the limit, not to zero; edit a row whole or not at all
• NBSP after в, к, с, о, у, и, а, я
• Ellipsis: … (single char)
• No double spaces, no space before punctuation
