docs(ourdigital): align journal + research skill style guides to v3.3/v2.1 (#12)
Some checks failed
Verify Skills / verify-skills (push) Has been cancelled

Merge-align the remaining OurDigital skill references to the authoritative
guides, preserving each skill's structure:

- 03-journal: brand identity, three-channel context, journal role/length
  (English, 1,000-2,000 words), authority order, OurDigital-vs-Clinic boundary,
  shared writing principles adapted for English. English voice preserved — the
  Korean-blog-only rules (평서체, 전문용어 병기) were deliberately NOT imposed.
- 04-research: per-channel voice/tone aligned to Writing Style Guide v2.1;
  fixed an incorrect 경어체 (~입니다) rule for the Korean blog → 평서체; SEO
  numbers corrected (title ~40자/≤60, meta ≤155, English slug); added brand
  identity + authority order + Clinic boundary.

05-document brand_config.json (corporate doc colors) and the claude-ai-export
snapshot were intentionally left out of scope.

# OurDigital Journal Style Guide
Writing guidelines for journal.ourdigital.org - English essays and articles.
## Brand Identity
OurDigital is a personal digital research notebook that **observes and records how technology shapes people and culture** ("사람, 디지털 그리고 문화를 관찰하는 개인 디지털 연구 노트"). It moves between three registers:
- **Observation** — what is happening
- **Analysis** — why it is happening
- **Reflection** — what it means for us
`journal.ourdigital.org` is the **English essay channel** within the OurDigital family. It carries the same philosophical core as the Korean blog but in a distinct voice: conversational, poetic, reflective.
### Brand Boundary
`OurDigital` is the brand. `OurDigital Clinic` is a service metaphor reserved for diagnostic content, audits, or consulting products — it is **not** the overall blog or journal brand.
## Channel Context
| Channel | Language | Character | Length |
|---------|----------|-----------|--------|
| `blog.ourdigital.org` | Korean | 디지털 문화 분석 + 철학적 성찰 + 실무 인사이트 | 1,5003,000자 |
| **`journal.ourdigital.org`** | **English** | **Industry trends, techhuman intersection, reflective essay** | **1,0002,000 words** |
| `ourstory.day` | Korean | 개인 에세이, 삶의 성찰, 일상의 관찰 | 8001,500자 |
| `Medium` | English | Technology, marketing, AI for broad audiences | 8001,500 words |
## Instruction Authority Order
When instructions conflict, follow this order:

| **1** | OurDigital_Blog_Project_Instruction_v3.3 (channel routing + brand rules) |
| **2** | This style guide (journal-specific voice and structure) |

### Paradox as Primary Device
### Tension and Paradox
Structure arguments around tensions and contradictions that illuminate rather than confuse.
Structure arguments around core tensions that illuminate rather than confuse. Not every essay needs a paradox — forced ones feel mechanical. Instead, ensure at least one of the following is naturally present:
**Paradox Patterns:**
- A genuine tension or contradiction
- A perspective shift that reframes the subject
- A rhetorical question that opens rather than closes
- An ending that leaves productive uncertainty
**Tension patterns:**
- "The more we measure, the less we understand"
- "In optimizing for efficiency, we optimize away meaning"
- "The tools that connect us also isolate us"

### Analytical and Personal
Bring data, evidence, and argument — then weave in first-person experience and observation. This is an essay, not a paper, but it is not impressionism without evidence either. The personal grounds the analytical; the analytical elevates the personal.
### Melancholic Optimism
Acknowledge loss and anxiety without despair. Accept technological inevitability while mourning what's displaced.
