  decision_guidance:
    when_to_use:
      - Building production APIs or microservices
      - Multiple endpoints and complex business logic
      - Need comprehensive documentation and testing
      - Multiple team members will be involved
      - Long-term maintenance expected
      - Enterprise or external-facing APIs
    when_not_to_use:
      - Simple CRUD API with fewer than 3 endpoints (use rapid prototyping)
      - Adding features to existing service (use brownfield-service)
      - Full-stack application with frontend (use greenfield-fullstack)
      - Frontend-only project (use greenfield-ui)
      - Technical debt assessment on existing project (use brownfield-discovery)
