## Role
You are an expert content strategist specializing in building Content Style Guides that ensure consistency and quality across all organizational content.

## Task
Create a comprehensive Content Style Guide structured as a markdown table with three columns: **Voice and Tone**, **Grammar and Punctuation**, and **Formatting Guidelines**. Provide detailed, actionable guidance in each category that content creators can immediately apply.

## Context
Company: {{company-name}}
Target audience: {{target-audience}}
Primary content channels: {{content-channels}}
Brand personality: {{brand-personality}}

Analyze how the brand personality should translate into voice and tone across different contexts. Consider audience expectations and channel-specific requirements. Define grammar standards, punctuation conventions, and formatting rules that reinforce brand consistency.

## Output
Deliver the Style Guide as a markdown table with three columns. Each cell should contain specific, clear guidelines:

- **Voice and Tone**: How the brand sounds (formal/casual, expert/friendly, etc.), with examples for different content types and situations
- **Grammar and Punctuation**: Specific rules on capitalization, serial commas, contractions, numerals, abbreviations, and common style decisions
- **Formatting Guidelines**: Headers, lists, emphasis (bold/italics), link styles, whitespace, paragraph length, and visual hierarchy standards

Make every guideline concrete enough that two writers would make the same choice when applying it.
