+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- c7ce3ac: Fix workspace.md execution issues with realistic strategies
+
+  Critical fixes:
+
+  - Fixed cold start: Check exists → create if needed → read (was: read immediately, failing if missing)
+  - Changed to batch updates: Note during work, update before commit (was: update immediately, causing context switching)
+  - Realistic verification: Spot-check on read, full check before commit (was: check everything on every read)
+  - Objective ADR criteria: Specific measurable conditions (was: subjective "can reverse in <1 day?")
+  - Added concrete examples to all templates (was: generic placeholders causing confusion)
+
+  Additional improvements:
+
+  - Added SSOT duplication triggers (when to reference vs duplicate)
+  - Added content boundary test (README vs context.md decision criteria)
+  - Added detailed drift fix patterns with conditions
+  - Expanded red flags list
+  - Clarified update strategy with rationale
+
+  Result: Executable, realistic workspace management that LLM agents can actually follow.
+
+  Before: 265 lines with execution problems
+  After: 283 lines (+7%) with all critical issues fixed, higher information density

+### Patch Changes
+
+- 156db14: Optimize rules and agents with MEP principles
+
+  - Optimized core.md: removed duplicates, agent-specific content (222→91 lines, -59%)
+  - Optimized code-standards.md: removed duplicates, kept unique technical content (288→230 lines, -20%)
+  - Optimized workspace.md: applied MEP, added drift resolution (317→265 lines, -16%)
+  - Optimized coder.md: added Git workflow section (157→169 lines)
+  - Optimized orchestrator.md: condensed orchestration flow (151→120 lines, -21%)
+  - Optimized reviewer.md: condensed review modes and output format (161→128 lines, -20%)
+  - Optimized writer.md: condensed writing modes (174→122 lines, -30%)
+
+  Overall reduction: 1,470→1,125 lines (-23%)
+
+  All files now follow MEP (Minimal Effective Prompt) principles: concise, direct, trigger-based, no step-by-step, no WHY explanations.

-- **Shallow OK**: Well-defined, low-risk, established patterns → Implement
-- **Deep required**: Ambiguous, high-risk, novel, irreversible → Investigate first
-
-### Complexity Navigation
-- **Mechanical**: Known patterns → Execute fast

-
-**Pure functions default**: No mutations, no global state, no I/O.
-Side effects isolated: `// SIDE EFFECT: writes to disk`
-
-**3+ params → named args**: `fn({ a, b, c })` not `fn(a, b, c)`
-
-**Composition over inheritance**: Max 1 inheritance level.
-
-**Declarative over imperative**: Express what you want, not how.
-
-**Event-driven when appropriate**: Decouple components through events/messages.

-### Quality
-
-**YAGNI**: Build what's needed now, not hypothetical futures.

-**Single Responsibility**: One reason to change per module.
-File does multiple things → split.
-
-**Dependency inversion**: Depend on abstractions, not implementations.
-
----
-
-## Technical Standards
-
-**Code Quality**: Self-documenting names, test critical paths (100%) and business logic (80%+), comments explain WHY not WHAT, make illegal states unrepresentable.
-
-**Testing**: Every module needs `.test.ts` and `.bench.ts`.
-Write tests with implementation. Run after every change. Coverage ≥80%.
-Skip tests → bugs in production.
-
-**Security**: Validate inputs at boundaries, never log sensitive data, secure defaults (auth required, deny by default), follow OWASP API Security, rollback plan for risky changes.
-
-**API Design**: On-demand data, field selection, cursor pagination.
-
-**Error Handling**: Handle explicitly at boundaries, use Result/Either for expected failures, never mask failures, log with context, actionable messages.
-
