Bold-first bullets
FormattingEvery bullet point or list item starts with a bolded phrase or sentence. Extremely common in Claude and ChatGPT markdown output. Almost nobody formats lists this way when writing by hand. It's a telltale sign of AI-generated documentation and blog posts and README files (especially with emojis). Eh, this one isn't so bad but it's an immediate spot when scanning a doc, most people use skills to format documents in a specific way so it is fading.
Examples
“Every single bullet point begins with a bold keyword.”
“**Security**: Environment-based configuration with...”
“**Performance**: Lazy loading of expensive resources...”
“**The Problem** / **The Solution** as paired bold headings”
