Describe the problem
Originally from here:
Should "cloud" be capitalized?
I'm not a fan of the recent trend I've observed of sometimes capitalizing "sketch" in sentences, since that is not a proper noun, but if "cloud" is short for the "Arduino Cloud" service (as opposed to being a reference to the general concept of "the cloud"), then this is a proper noun and so should be capitalized.

I will leave this decision to you. Whichever you think is the best.

I found the following translations from this PR where the "sketch" is capitalized in a sentence. (I hope I did not leave out anything):
These have not changed in this PR or recently:
These have not changed, and the sentence starts with "sketch":
These are command or menu labels, so capitalized "sketch" is expected:
These are new and were requested in the design doc:
Let me know what to do. Thanks!
The request for the design decision is from here:

I surveyed the Arduino Cloud-related content on arduino.cc and found that "Cloud" is capitalized in contexts equivalent to "Cloud sketch". So I think it should be capitalized.

Yes, in cases where the work occurs at the start of a sentence or contexts where the standard for capitalization style is "title case", there is no question that "Sketch" is correct.
These are new and were requested in the design doc:
Then I guess I would have to request the input of the designers.
@91volt @gmarchiarduino please provide clear rules for when "sketch" should and should not be capitalized. As I've said several times in the past, it would be very helpful to have this sort of thing documented in a style guide.
