# Lua Rules

## Apply Order

1. start with `rules/common/`
2. layer `rules/lua/` for module structure, runtime flavor, and testing guidance
3. consult `knowledge-bases/seeded/lua/rules/lua/` when the seeded pack has deeper runtime or review cues

## Focus Areas

- runtime flavor differences such as Neovim, OpenResty, and embedded Lua hosts
- module boundaries, validation, and compatibility-safe refactors
- testing, tooling, and security considerations for scriptable environments
