 This project is a work in progress. Contributions are very welcome.
 
 ## Hard rules
-* Run `npm test` to lint the code examples. Your changes must pass.
-* If you add a new definition or reorder them run `npm run toc` to regenerate the table of contents.
+There is a pre-commit hook that runs:  `npm run test && npm run roadmarks` for linting the readme and creating the TOC.
 
 That said, we'd like to maintain some consistency across the document.
