# Terms of Use

**Last updated:** July 30, 2026

## What ru-text is

ru-text is a Russian text quality reference for AI coding agents. It consists of static
Markdown files that your agent reads locally. There is no server, no account, and no fee.

## Licence

ru-text is released under the MIT Licence. The full text is in [LICENSE](LICENSE) and it
governs your right to use, copy, modify and redistribute this work. These terms do not
narrow the licence; where the two differ, the licence controls.

## No warranty

ru-text is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. It is a set of editorial rules,
not a guarantee of correctness. Its rules are defaults, and a rule can be wrong for your
text: an explicit instruction from you overrides any of them. You are responsible for what
you publish.

## What it does with your text

Nothing leaves your machine. ru-text collects, stores and transmits no data whatsoever —
see the [Privacy Policy](PRIVACY_POLICY.md) for the full statement.

ru-text reports findings and proposes replacements. It does not rewrite a file unless you
ask your agent to apply the changes, and quoted material, code and third-party text inside
your document are reproduced as they are.

## Intellectual property

The rules in this repository are independently formulated. Sources that shaped modern
Russian text standards are credited in
[`references/sources.md`](skills/ru-text/references/sources.md); crediting a source is not
a claim that its author endorses this work. Facts and methods are not subject to copyright
(Article 1259(5) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation; 17 U.S.C. §102(b)).

## Changes

These terms may change as the project does. The date above marks the current version, and
the history of every change is public in the repository.
