I has quite a lot of luck making docs nicer by asking to "write using the dry/succinct style of ukgov/gds".

If you want to take things further you can use linters to enforce the whatever style you want, but just naming it is a good start.

I tried "be concise and respond in a blunt tone" and all that did was add a section to the bottom of every response "here's the blunt concise truth <1 million bullet points>"
