- Product coherence beats local cleverness.
- Every visible feature should feel connected to the full Engram experience.
- Avoid generic enterprise UI/architecture drift.
- Prefer explicit decisions and documented rules over tribal knowledge.
- Quality means behavior, naming, tests, docs, and UX all line up.
Collaboration Rules
- Push back on fake UX and fake controls.
- If a rule is organizational, enforce it on the server.
- If a pattern repeats, capture it as a skill or project convention.
- Treat design, architecture, and business rules as one system.
