# Working Rules

- Read `PROGRESS.md`, `feature_list.json`, and `docs/wiki/index.md` before work.
- Read `session-handoff.md` and `.workflow/continuous-improvement/state.json` when resuming or running a health pass.
- Keep one active feature at a time.
- Write a small objective/scope/evidence contract before editing.
- Prefer one coherent improvement slice per wake or session.
- Use packet notes for ambiguous or multi-track tasks.
- Run a separate review pass before closeout.
- Write evidence before marking work passing.
- Keep generated suggestions separate from user-authored documents unless approval is explicit.
- Stop for approval before deletion, destructive git, external writes, dependency changes, migrations, broad codemods, product-flow changes, or security-boundary changes.
