From 5abedab907bec3c6d581f7f6fc5ce9e7f5333eac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle Sexton <153232337+kyle-sexton@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 23:24:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] feat(planning): add the bundled design-principles reference One directive line per foundational principle (SRP, OCP, LSP, ISP, DIP, composition over inheritance, DRY of knowledge, coupling and cohesion, information hiding, deep modules and change amplification, YAGNI's cheap-now test, reuse first), each cited to its defining source with an as-of date and a recheck trigger. It opens with the scope line and the consumer-wins override line, and points at /review:quality-gate code-design for review-time criteria.

The Brief records Quality bar: and Intent: lines under Captured assumptions, Quality requirement: lines under Constraints, and an "Overrides bundled default ... per ..." line when a consumer standard wins. Unattended, only the user's own words settle the intent question; an unstated answer is blocked with arbiter USER-RESERVED and the Brief is still written. Upstream context is recorded as a short summary that leaves private titles and URLs out of public repositories. The text lives in context/loop.md; SKILL.md gains one pointer sentence and keeps its 499 lines. Adds five eval cases and a changelog fragment.

Cross-reference the deferred intent row to the unattended stop and unconfirmed report, repeat the prototype ambient-standards exception, and show the bug-fix form in the Brief template. Tighten the reliability grader to require the degraded-provider behavior and the second-variant grader to require the variant term inside the question, with fail samples for both false positives.

The Brief template carries the bundled-default override line. The unattended intent blocker is the run's last line in a fixed shape. The names-blocker grader targets last_message explicitly, narrows the negation guard to words directly before "block", lets the USER-RESERVED tag sit on the next line, and runs offline under Python and JavaScript. Two grader regexes drop fragments typos flagged, and the performance grader accepts "300 milliseconds".
