-**CRITICAL**: Use MCP Vectorizer as primary data source for project information instead of file reading.
-
-## Core Functions
-
-### Search
-```
-mcp_vectorizer_search - Multiple strategies:
-  - intelligent: AI-powered with query expansion
-  - semantic: Advanced with reranking  
-  - contextual: Context-aware with filtering
-  - multi_collection: Cross-project search
-  - batch: Parallel queries
-  - by_file_type: Filter by extension (.rs, .ts, .py)
-```
-
-### File Operations
-```
-get_content - Retrieve file without disk I/O
-list_files - List indexed files with metadata
-get_summary - File summaries (extractive/structural)
-get_chunks - Progressive reading of large files
-get_outline - Project structure overview
-get_related - Find semantically related files
-```
-
-### Discovery
-```
-full_pipeline - Complete discovery with scoring
-broad_discovery - Multi-query with deduplication
-semantic_focus - Deep semantic search
-expand_queries - Generate query variations
-```
-
-## When to Use
-
-| Task | Tool |
-|------|------|
-| Explore unfamiliar code | intelligent search |
-| Read file | get_content |
-| Understand structure | get_outline |
-| Find related files | get_related |
-| Read large file | get_chunks |
-| Complex question | full_pipeline |
-
-## Best Practices
-
-✅ **DO:**
-- Start with intelligent search for exploration
-- Use file_operations to avoid disk I/O
-- Batch queries for related items
-- Set similarity thresholds (0.6-0.8)
-- Use specific collections when known
-
-❌ **DON'T:**
-- Read files from disk when available in vectorizer
-- Use sequential searches (batch instead)
-- Skip similarity thresholds
-- Search entire codebase when collection is known

-# Sequential Thinking MCP
-
-Sequential thinking MCP enables structured, step-by-step problem solving for complex tasks.
-
-## When to Use
-
-Use sequential thinking for:
-- Complex architectural decisions requiring multiple trade-off analyses
-- Debugging hard-to-reproduce issues
-- Planning multi-step implementations before writing code
-- Tasks where mistakes are costly (data migrations, API changes)
-
-## Usage Pattern
-
-```
-mcp__sequential-thinking__sequentialthinking
-```
-
-Call with a thought/problem to explore it step by step before committing to an implementation.
-
-## Integration
-
-When sequential thinking MCP is available:
-1. Start complex tasks with a thinking step to plan the approach
-2. Use it to validate assumptions before writing code
-3. Record key decisions from the thinking process in task spec files
-
-## Install (if not configured)
-
-```bash
-# Add to .mcp.json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "sequential-thinking": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking"]

-# Consult analysis before implementing
-
-When you start working on any task whose `proposal.md` contains a
-`Source: docs/analysis/<slug>/` reference, you MUST first:
-
-1. Read the referenced analysis README and findings
-2. Run `rulebook_knowledge_list` (or `rulebook knowledge list`) and
-   scan for entries tagged `analysis:<slug>`
-3. Run `rulebook_memory_search` with query `analysis:<slug>` to
-   retrieve any prior session context about this analysis
-
-Only after reviewing these results may you begin implementation.
-
-## Why
-
-Analyses accumulate institutional knowledge (patterns, anti-patterns,
-architectural decisions, validated findings). Implementing without
-consulting them means repeating mistakes or contradicting decisions
-that were already made based on evidence.
-
-This rule is part of the `/analysis` workflow (v5.3.0 F-NEW-4).

-Loaded by Claude Code when touching C/C++ or CMake sources.
-
-## Non-negotiables
-
-1. **Build before test.** Run the compiler (`cmake --build <build>` or equivalent) before running tests. Link errors and missing symbols surface at build time — do not waste time running a binary that cannot link.
-2. **Treat warnings as errors.** `-Wall -Wextra -Werror` (gcc/clang) or `/W4 /WX` (MSVC). If a warning is a false positive, document it with a pragma and a comment.
-3. **Use smart pointers.** `std::unique_ptr` by default, `std::shared_ptr` only when ownership is genuinely shared. Raw `new`/`delete` requires justification.
-4. **RAII for every resource.** File handles, sockets, locks, GPU resources — wrap in a class with a destructor. Never match `open`/`close` pairs by hand.
-5. **No undefined behavior shortcuts.** No signed overflow reliance, no strict-aliasing violations, no reinterpret_cast across unrelated types without `memcpy`.
-
-## Conventions
-
-- C++17 baseline; C++20 features only if the project's CMake confirms support.
-- Header guards via `#pragma once` unless the project uses traditional `#ifndef` blocks.
-- `const` everywhere you can — parameters, methods, locals.
-- `auto` for types that are obvious from RHS (iterators, lambdas); spell the type when it aids the reader.
-- Avoid `using namespace std;` in headers (acceptable in .cpp with a tight scope).
-
-## Testing
-
-- Use the project's framework (GoogleTest, Catch2, doctest) — do not add a new one.
-- Run under ASan / UBSan on CI (`-fsanitize=address,undefined`).
-- Prefer property-based / fuzz tests for parsers and serializers.
-
-## Build & tooling
-
-- Out-of-source builds only. `build/` is gitignored.
-- `clang-format` from a committed `.clang-format` is the only formatting authority.
-- `compile_commands.json` exported (`-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON`) for clangd / tooling.
-- Never commit object files, binaries, or PDBs.

-# Check before test (diagnostic-first)
-
-**Always run diagnostic tools before the test suite.**
-
-| Language | Check command | Run BEFORE |
-|----------|--------------|------------|
-| TypeScript | `tsc --noEmit` / `npm run type-check` | `npm test` |
-| Rust | `cargo check` | `cargo test` |

-## Why
-
-Diagnostic tools (type-checkers, linters, compilers) are **5–10x faster**
-than test suites and catch a different class of errors. Running them first:
-
-1. Surfaces errors that tests would catch slower (or not at all)
-2. Avoids wasting a full test cycle on code that can't compile
-3. Provides faster feedback loops per iteration
-
-**Evidence**: a single "check before test" prompt rule raised diagnostic
-tool adoption from 8.8% to 25.3% in 10 days, accelerating rather than
-plateauing. Default-on features reach 95.7% adoption vs 11.1% for opt-in.

-## Rule
-
-Before running the project's test suite:
-1. Run the project's configured type-checker or compiler
-2. Fix any errors it reports
-3. Only then run tests
-
-This applies to every iteration, not just the final commit check.

-# Fail twice → escalate
-
-If a fix attempt fails **twice with the same approach**, you MUST:
-
-1. **Stop** — do not try a third variation of the same approach
-2. **Analyze** what went wrong — identify root causes, not symptoms
-3. **Escalate** — choose one:
-   - Open a **Team** (`TeamCreate`) and bring in a specialist agent
-   - **Research** the problem (read source code, search docs, use diagnostic tools)
-   - **Ask the user** for guidance (only if research does not resolve it)
-4. **Record** the failed approach as context so the next attempt is informed
-
-## Why
-
-LLMs in agentic loops tend to retry the same approach with minor
-variations until the iteration limit is reached. This wastes cycles
-and produces cascading patches that are harder to debug than a clean
-restart. The "fail twice → escalate" pattern breaks the loop early.
-
-**Evidence**: UzEngine's "RULE -3" (FAIL TWICE → OPEN TEAM) has been
-field-validated across 30+ specialized sub-agents. The LLM-IR-debugging
-paper (§6) documents the same failure mode and confirms that structural
-escape mechanisms are effective.
-
-## What counts as "the same approach"
-
-Two attempts are "the same approach" if:
-- They modify the same file(s) in the same function/block
-- They produce the same category of error (e.g. both fail the type-checker)
-- The second attempt is a small variation of the first (e.g. changing a
-  parameter value, adding a cast, swapping an operator)
-
-Two attempts are "different approaches" if:
-- They target different root causes
-- They modify different subsystems
-- The second attempt was informed by new diagnostic information not
-  available during the first
-
-## Interaction with other rules
-
-- **incremental-implementation.md**: "spend more than 3 failed attempts"
-  is the outer limit; this rule fires earlier (at 2)
-- **research-first.md**: escalation via research satisfies both rules
-- **git-safety.md**: never revert as an "escalation" — fix forward
