## Why

Avoid patterns that can make otherwise clear prose sound formulaic or overworked.

## Examples

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Column>
    **Flagged**

    We should delve into this issue.
  </Column>
  <Column>
    **Better**

    We should examine this issue.
  </Column>
</Columns>

## Turning it off

```sh
lawlint --disable no-ai-cliches draft.md
```

Or durably, in `.lawlint/config.json` — see [Configuration](/docs/reference/configuration).
