Why

openspec/README.md, under "Editorial content is not a change", required that a claim about the product cite the file or spec it came from. In practice this became a fixed ## Where each claim comes from section repeated across every venue, and the owner asked for it to stop.

What changes

  • Removes the editorial bullet requiring a citation section, leaving the rest of the editorial rules intact (English-only, pictures beside the article, no SVG, branch rules).

Scope

  • openspec/README.md only. No packages/* change, no changeset, no change to scripts/check-articles.mjs (which never checked for the section).

Explicitly out of scope

  • Deleting the section from already-published articles; this lifts the requirement for future articles only.

Checks

  • npm run lint:articles — Article check passed.
  • openspec change validate --strict articles-drop-the-citation-section — pending.
