+#### InfluxData Support links
+
+When linking to InfluxData Support, use the canonical URL without trailing slashes or paths:
+
+```markdown
+[contact InfluxData support](https://support.influxdata.com)
+```
+
+**Do not use**:
+- `https://support.influxdata.com/` (trailing slash)
+- `https://support.influxdata.com/s/contactsupport` (path)
+- `https://support.influxdata.com/s/login/?ec=302&startURL=%2Fs%2Fcontactsupport` (login redirect)
+
+The pre-commit hook will check for and reject non-standard support link formats.
