   name: Check max one sentence per line
   description: |-
     This hook is a simplified version of [rumdl MD013 sentence-per-line-mode](https://github.com/rvben/rumdl/blob/main/docs/md013.md#sentence-per-line-mode).
-    We recommend rumdl over this hook if possible.
+    In contrast to rumdl, this hook doesn't reflow all your text; it only enforces one sentence per line.
 
     Check that each line in markdown files contains at most one sentence.
     This makes diffs easier to read and avoids merge conflicts.
