These principles guide how Github Engine is designed, communicated, and implemented over time.
Outputs should prioritize high-signal guidance and decision-ready structure over verbose analysis.
Recommendations should reflect repository reality, project maturity, and workflow context.
Generic checklists are insufficient. Guidance should be specific, justified, and actionable.
The repository is the primary source of truth for structure, intent, and evolution signals.
Outputs and future surfaces should fit real builder workflows with low operational friction.
Integrations should be modular, additive, and designed for progressive capability growth.
Documentation and outputs must clearly distinguish what is implemented, what is experimental, and what is planned.
