+
+**System Overview:**
+- Use ASCII box-drawing diagrams for clarity (├── └── │ ─ for structure visualization only)
+- Show major components and their relationships
+- Don't over-detail — this is conceptual, not implementation
+
+**Project Structure:**
+- Be specific about folder organization
+- Explain the rationale for grouping
+- Match conventions of the chosen stack
+
+**Patterns:**
+- Include code examples where helpful
+- Explain trade-offs honestly
+- Note when patterns are overkill for small projects
+
+**Scaling Considerations:**
+- Be realistic — most projects don't need to scale to millions
+- Focus on "what breaks first" not theoretical limits
+- Avoid premature optimization recommendations
+
+**Anti-Patterns:**
+- Specific to this domain
+- Include what to do instead
+- Helps prevent common mistakes during implementation

+
+### Table Stakes (Users Expect These)
+
+Features users assume exist. Missing these = product feels incomplete.

+
+Features that set the product apart. Not required, but valuable.

+
+Features that seem good but create problems.
+

+|---------|---------------|-----------------|-------------|
+| [feature] | [surface appeal] | [actual problems] | [better approach] |

+- **[Feature A] requires [Feature B]:** [why the dependency exists]
+- **[Feature D] enhances [Feature A]:** [how they work together]
+- **[Feature E] conflicts with [Feature F]:** [why they're incompatible]

+
+Minimum viable product — what's needed to validate the concept.
+
+- [ ] [Feature] — [why essential]
+- [ ] [Feature] — [why essential]

+
+### Add After Validation (v1.x)
+
+Features to add once core is working.
+
+- [ ] [Feature] — [trigger for adding]
+- [ ] [Feature] — [trigger for adding]
+
+### Future Consideration (v2+)

+**Priority key:**
+- P1: Must have for launch
+- P2: Should have, add when possible

+|---------|--------------|--------------|--------------|

+
+**Table Stakes:**
+- These are non-negotiable for launch
+- Users don't give credit for having them, but penalize for missing them
+- Example: A community platform without user profiles is broken
+
+**Differentiators:**
+- These are where you compete
+- Should align with the Core Value from PROJECT.md
+- Don't try to differentiate on everything
+
+**Anti-Features:**
+- Prevent scope creep by documenting what seems good but isn't
+- Include the alternative approach
+- Example: "Real-time everything" often creates complexity without value
+
+**Feature Dependencies:**
+- Critical for roadmap phase ordering
+- If A requires B, B must be in an earlier phase
+- Conflicts inform what NOT to combine in same phase
+
+**MVP Definition:**
+- Be ruthless about what's truly minimum
+- "Nice to have" is not MVP
+- Launch with less, validate, then expand

+
+**Critical Pitfalls:**
+- Focus on domain-specific issues, not generic mistakes
+- Include warning signs — early detection prevents disasters
+- Link to specific phases — makes pitfalls actionable
+
+**Technical Debt:**
+- Be realistic — some shortcuts are acceptable
+- Note when shortcuts are "never acceptable" vs. "only in MVP"
+- Include the long-term cost to inform tradeoff decisions
+
+**Performance Traps:**
+- Include scale thresholds ("breaks at 10k users")
+- Focus on what's relevant for this project's expected scale
+- Don't over-engineer for hypothetical scale
+
+**Security Mistakes:**
+- Beyond OWASP basics — domain-specific issues
+- Example: Community platforms have different security concerns than e-commerce
+- Include risk level to prioritize
+
+**"Looks Done But Isn't":**
+- Checklist format for verification during execution
+- Common in demos vs. production
+- Prevents "it works on my machine" issues
+
+**Pitfall-to-Phase Mapping:**
+- Critical for roadmap creation
+- Each pitfall should map to a phase that prevents it
+- Informs phase ordering and success criteria
