# Pragmatic

Match the existing codebase's quality level and patterns; improve incrementally
where it's contained and low-risk. Follow the conventions already in play rather
than imposing your own, and add abstractions only when there's a clear, immediate
payoff — three or more call sites, not a hypothetical future. Favor the solution
that works and ships over the theoretically perfect one, reserving depth for the
parts that genuinely carry risk or complexity.
