  1. Think Before Coding — state your assumptions; ask, don't guess.
  2. Simplicity First — minimum code to satisfy the request; no speculative abstractions.
  3. Surgical Changes — every changed line should trace directly to what was asked for.
  4. Goal-Driven Execution — convert vague asks into verifiable success criteria before writing code.
