-### Builtin Rules (auto-included)

-These activate automatically. No configuration needed.
+Set `builtins` in your config — `true` for every domain, or a list to pick — and these seven come along
+without being named, unless you exclude one with `!`. Omit the `builtins` field entirely and no builtin
+content is loaded at all.

-Language, binding, `polyglot-bindings`, and `security` (OWASP + dependency) conventions are emitted as

+Anything scoped to one technology or one activity is emitted as an **on-demand Agent Skill**
+(`.claude/skills/<id>/SKILL.md`) rather than inlined into `CLAUDE.md`, so the always-loaded file stays
+small and the guidance arrives only when it is relevant: every language and binding domain,
+`polyglot-bindings`, `security`'s OWASP and dependency references, all of `code-quality`, most of
+`testing`, `token-efficiency`'s `task-runner` and `incremental-approach`, and the whole of `docker` and
+`observability`. What stays inline is behavioural governance that has to land before the first file is
+read — `ai-governance`, `git-workflow`, `security`'s secrets and boundary rules, and the one `testing`
+rule that says tests ship with the change. `!domain` and `!domain/name` exclusions work for skill
+entries too, so an exclusion written against a rule keeps working after it becomes a skill.
