What Output Style does

Output style and prose contract - shared reference

The single source of truth for milestone-driver's output contract. Every skill's `## Output style` section and every agent's `## Communication style` section points here.

It sits one level up from the skill folders, for the reason `skills/notices.md (It sits here - a peer of the skill)` records.

The surface split - read this first
