## Context Protocol
Start with `cortex_context("current task summary")` when available. Otherwise read `docs/strategy/PRODUCT_DIRECTION.md`.
Save decisions with: cortex_add(content, type)

## Workflow
EXPLORE → PLAN → CODE → VERIFY → COMMIT

## Coding Standards
- Follow project conventions
- Use descriptive names
- Conventional commits (feat:, fix:, chore:)
- Run tests before committing

## Security
- Never log secrets or PII
- Validate all inputs
- Use environment variables for config

## Extended Thinking
- "think" for simple decisions
- "think hard" for complex logic
- "ultrathink" for architecture decisions
