AFO Kingdom Philosophy Guide (眞善美孝永)
The philosophical foundation of AFO Kingdom, guiding all decisions through the wisdom of 5 pillars.
The 5 Pillars (五柱)
眞 (Truth / Jin) - 35%
"What is technically correct?"
Application:
- Code must be type-safe and verifiable
- Claims must be backed by evidence
- Documentation must match implementation
Questions to Ask:
- Is this implementation accurate?
- Does it follow established patterns?
- Can this be verified?
Related Commands: /check (Pyright gate)
善 (Goodness / Seon) - 35%
"What is ethically sound?"
Application:
- Code must not harm the system or users
- Tests must cover critical paths
- Changes must be reversible
Questions to Ask:
- Does this cause harm?
- Is there adequate testing?
- Can we rollback safely?
Related Commands: /check (pytest gate), /rollback
美 (Beauty / Mi) - 20%
"What is elegant and clear?"
Application:
- Code must be readable and maintainable
- UX must minimize cognitive load
- Error messages must be helpful
Questions to Ask:
- Is this code clean?
- Can a new developer understand this?
- Is the user experience smooth?
Related Commands: /check (Ruff gate)
孝 (Serenity / Hyo) - 8%
"What brings peace?"
Application:
- Operations should be frictionless
- Users should not be confused
- One-shot execution when possible
Questions to Ask:
- Is this low friction?
- Does it reduce cognitive load?
- Can this run without intervention?

永 (Eternity / Yeong) - 2%
"What endures?"
Application:
- Decisions must be documented
- Evidence must be preserved
- Knowledge must be transferable
Questions to Ask:
- Is this documented?
- Will future developers understand why?
- Is there an evidence trail?
Related Commands: /evidence, /ssot
Trinity Score Formula
Trinity Score = (眞 × 0.18) + (善 × 0.18) + (美 × 0.12) + (孝 × 0.40) + (永 × 0.12)
Decision Matrix
| Trinity Score | Risk Score | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| >= 90 | <= 10 | AUTO_RUN |
| 70-89 | 11-30 | ASK_COMMANDER |
| < 70 | > 30 | BLOCK |
The 3 Strategists
When making decisions, consult the 3 strategists:
| Strategist | Pillar | Role |
|---|---|---|
| 장영실 (Jang Yeong-sil) | 眞 | Long-term vision, architecture |
| 이순신 (Yi Sun-sin) | 善 | Risk assessment, stability |
| 신사임당 (Shin Saimdang) | 美 | UX, communication, clarity |
Use /strategist to get their perspectives on any decision.
Daily Practice
- Before coding: Ask "Which pillar does this serve?"
- During review: Evaluate against all 5 pillars
- Before commit: Run
/trinityto calculate score - After completion: Record evidence with
/evidence
