When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Starting a new feature or refactor
  • Reviewing implementation direction
  • Writing or refining project conventions

---

Cultural Rules

1. Product coherence beats local cleverness. 2. Every visible feature should feel connected to the full Engram experience. 3. Avoid generic enterprise UI/architecture drift. 4. Prefer explicit decisions and documented rules over tribal knowledge. 5. Quality means behavior, naming, tests, docs, and UX all line up.

---

Collaboration Rules

  • Push back on fake UX and fake controls.
  • If a rule is organizational, enforce it on the server.
  • If a pattern repeats, capture it as a skill or project convention.
  • Treat design, architecture, and business rules as one system.
