Engineering Rules

This directory contains coding standards, conventions, and development practices.

Canonical Placement

• Common rules index: docs/rules/common/README.md
• Common rules navigation: docs/rules/common/AGENTS.md
• Common rules docs (authoritative baseline): docs/rules/common/*.md
• Language-specific rules: docs/rules/{language}/*.md (for example: docs/rules/typescript/ or docs/rules/rust/)
• Framework-specific rules: docs/rules/{framework}/*.md (for example: docs/rules/react/ or docs/rules/nextjs/)

Baseline vs Templates

• Files in docs/rules/common/*.md are live baseline rules for this repository.
• Keep reusable scaffolds in docs/templates/ only when you need to bootstrap rules in other repositories.

Folder Convention

• Keep shared rules in common/
• Add language/framework folders only when they are actively used
• Keep rules concise, actionable, and implementation-oriented

How to Use

1. Start with common/ rules for any task.
2. Apply language/framework rules when the task requires them.
3. Update relevant rule docs when conventions evolve.
