Principles
Principles are commitments that decide tradeoffs. They are tool-agnostic, and departing from one needs a recorded exception.
North Star
Section titled “North Star”- TTV: Tokens to Value: maximize value per win, where a win costs tokens plus human attention
Principles
Section titled “Principles”- Authority Cascade: Org > Client > Team > Role > Individual decides conflicts
- Human in the Loop: define where humans judge, and make those checkpoints fast
- Problem Before Prescription: present the problem and constraints before a solution
- Consistency as Leverage: predictable code saves more tokens than tuned prompts
- Fail Fast, Recover Smart: design for failure before shipping
- Reproducibility: choose the reproducibility level each part needs
- Deliberate Currency: stay current by owner, cadence, and tripwires
New proposals go in Discussions and follow the governance lifecycle.
