When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Changing enrollment, sync, auth, admin controls, or cloud behavior
- Implementing project-level or org-level policy
- Adjusting what data appears locally vs remotely
---
Product Rules
1. Local-first remains the default mental model. 2. Org-wide security controls belong in cloud, not only in local clients. 3. Project sync policy must be enforceable server-side if it is meant for admins. 4. UI controls must map to real business rules, never fake toggles. 5. Data visibility and sync permissions must be deterministic and testable.
---
Sync Rules
- Enrollment controls what may sync from local.
- Cloud pause controls what the organization currently allows.
- When a policy blocks sync, fail loudly rather than dropping data silently.
- Preserve auditability whenever admin policy changes behavior.
