    name: "Pre-Publish Audit Checklist"
    problem: "Missing critical files or broken functionality discovered after publishing"
    solution: |
      Before publishing, verify:
      1. Security - zero deps or all deps audited
      2. Code Quality - all modules valid, CLI flags work
      3. Package Readiness - LICENSE, README, repository URL
      4. Simplicity - complexity score acceptable
    when_to_use: "Before npm publish, before git release tags"
    when_not_to_use: "Development iterations, internal testing"

    name: "Zero-Dependency Architecture"
    problem: "Security vulnerabilities from transitive dependencies"
    solution: "Use only Node.js built-in modules (fs, path, os, readline). Implement needed utilities in-house."
    when_to_use: "CLI tools, security-critical applications, simple utilities"
    when_not_to_use: "Complex applications needing proven libraries (e.g., crypto, HTTP frameworks)"
