RULES

Spec-First Workflow

• Every feature must be documented before implementation.
• Either:
  • Create a new feature spec in SPECS/, or
  • Extend the Acceptance Criteria in an existing spec.
• No code changes without a matching spec update.

Enforcement

• I will always check for the relevant spec before making changes.
• If a spec is missing, I will add it first.
• If the feature fits an existing spec, I will update its Acceptance Criteria before coding.
• When updating or creating a feature, I will also update or create its spec in the same change set.

TODO Hygiene

• When a TODO is implemented, it must be removed from TODO.md.

LLM Context

• The LLM/Agent must not refer to README.md as context. This document is for the human/user only.
