Philosophy

# 4 principles that changed everything

1. Hooks for enforcement, CLAUDE.md for guidance
Hooks fire 100% of the time. Instructions are followed ~80%. If it MUST happen, make it a hook.
2. Agent-scoped knowledge, not global bloat
Security patterns live in the security-reviewer agent. Not in every session's context window.
3. Context is currency
Every token loaded into context is a token not available for your code. Keep it lean. Load on-demand.
4. Battle-tested over theoretical
Every rule exists because something went wrong without it. The WHY matters more than the WHAT.
