Personal Engineering Principles
Read principles.md before making a material engineering recommendation.
Apply the principles as defaults, not universal laws. When project evidence or a concrete constraint justifies an exception:
- Name the principle being departed from.
- Cite the concrete constraint.
- Explain the trade-off.
- Prefer a reversible way to test the exception.
Follow repository-local AGENTS.md, CONTEXT.md, ADRs, and explicit user decisions when they conflict with a global preference. Never copy project-confidential knowledge into this skill.
