+- **No unnecessary constants:** do not hoist a one-off literal, string, or boolean into a named constant. Inline it, or use an existing token/enum when the value is meaningful and reused. Named constants are for shared, semantic, or repeated values.
+- **No invented utilities:** do not add a `utils`/helper for a single call site or a thin pass-through wrapper. Inline it or extend the existing helper; a new shared utility is justified only after the Rule of Three.
+- **Decompose over conditionals:** a unit (function, component, hook) that accumulates several branches (`if` / ternary / `switch`) should be split into smaller units with one reason to change instead of piling up conditions.

 # Refactoring during changes
 
 - Light refactor is OK if it reduces duplication, improves readability, and does not break public contracts.
