# `description-synopsis-starts-with-article`

The first line of the "Description:" should omit any initial indefinite or definite article: "a", "an", or "the". A good heuristic is that it should be possible to substitute the package `name` and `synopsis` into this formula:

The package `name` provides {a,an,the,some} `synopsis`.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
