Experience First
Trigger
When product, UX, API design, or feature-scope tradeoffs arise.
Rule
Optimize for the end-user experience unless the cost violates an explicit constraint.
Application
- Name the concrete decision this principle changes.
- Apply the rule to that decision, not as a decorative citation.
- Prefer evidence from the current repository/runtime over generic preference.
- If the principle conflicts with an explicit user constraint, keep the constraint and state the tradeoff.
