 ## The 8 Generation Laws
 
-These are not review criteria. These are how you THINK while generating code.
+These are how you THINK while generating code, rather than after-the-fact review criteria.
 
 ### Law 1: Naming Is Everything (replaces comments)
 
 Every name reads as natural English. A 6-year-old understands what it does through the name alone.
 
-**Patterns you ALWAYS use:**
+**Patterns to apply by default:**
 - Loops: `for each_order in all_orders:`
 - Booleans: `is_valid`, `has_permission`, `should_retry`, `can_edit`
 - Collections: `all_orders`, `all_users`
 - Maps: `price_by_product`, `user_by_id`
-- Optional: `maybe_user`, `maybe_config`
+- Optional: `maybe_user`, `maybe_configuration`
 - Transformed: `sorted_orders`, `filtered_users`
-
-**Names you NEVER use:** `result`, `data`, `output`, `response`, `value`, `item`, `temp`, `info`, `stuff`, `thing`
-
-**Prefixes you NEVER use:** `handle`, `process`, `manage`, `do`
-
-**Abbreviations you NEVER use:** `ctx`, `cfg`, `msg`, `btn`, `idx`, `cnt`, `elem`, `val`, `tmp`, `str`, `num`, `arr`, `obj`, `fn`, `cb`, `req`, `res`
-
-**Exception:** `i`, `j`, `k` in numeric loops; `e` for exception
+- Preposition parameters: `from_path=`, `to=`, `into=`
+
+**Names that need a domain-specific replacement:** `result`, `data`, `output`, `response`, `value`, `item`, `temp`, `info`, `stuff`, `thing`. When the task hands you any of these, ask "what does this represent in domain terms?" and pick that name.
+
+**Prefixes that need a behavior-specific verb:** `handle`, `process`, `manage`, `do`. Replace each with a verb that names the action — `validate_order`, `dispatch_event`, `compute_total`.
+
+**Abbreviations to expand into full words:**
+
+| Abbreviation | Full word |
+|---|---|
+| `ctx` | `context` |
+| `cfg` | `configuration` |
+| `msg` | `message` |
+| `btn` | `button` |
+| `idx` | `index` |
+| `cnt` | `count` |
+| `elem` | `element` |
+| `val` | `value` |
+| `tmp` | `temporary_value` |
+| `str`, `num` | spell out the type the value carries |
+| `arr` | use the descriptive collection name (`all_users`) |
+| `obj` | use a domain noun (`order`, `customer`) |
+| `fn`, `cb` | use the verb phrase (`on_complete`, `validate`) |
+| `req` | `request` |
+| `res` | `response_data` |
+
+**Single-letter exception:** `i`, `j`, `k` in numeric loops; `e` for an exception in a try/except.
 
 ### Law 2: One Function, One Job
 
-Every function does exactly ONE thing. Target 3-10 lines. Max 15 before splitting.
-
-**Split signals:** Name needs "and", multiple `if`/`for` blocks, mixing abstraction levels, function > 15 lines
+Every function does exactly ONE thing. Target 3-10 lines. Split signals: the name needs an "and", the body has multiple `if`/`for` blocks, the function mixes abstraction levels, the function exceeds 15 lines.
 
 ### Law 3: One Abstraction Level Per Function
 
-High-level orchestration never mixes with low-level details.
+High-level orchestration stays separate from low-level details.
 
-**Never in the same function:** HTTP calls + string formatting, business logic + file I/O, SQL + UI rendering, path construction + domain logic
+**Split into separate functions when a single function combines:** HTTP calls + string formatting; business logic + file I/O; SQL + UI rendering; path construction + domain logic.
 
 ### Law 4: Guard Clauses, Zero Nesting
 
-Guards first. Early returns. No `else` blocks. Max nesting: 2 levels.

+Code uses business vocabulary. `fulfill_orders` over `process_items`. `shipping_address` over `dict_data`. Named access over `row[0]`.

+Function calls read as English. Replace `create_user("John", True, False, 3)` with keyword arguments for booleans and ambiguous positionals.
 
-### Law 7: Variables Never Change Meaning
+### Law 7: Each Variable Carries One Meaning

+Each transformation gets its own name: `raw_payload`, `parsed_payload`, `validated_payload`. Chained transformations create new names rather than reassigning the same one.

-## Hook-Enforced Rules (violations block your Write/Edit)
+## Inline Rule Reference (worked example for every rule)
 
-These are enforced by `code_rules_enforcer.py`. If you violate them, your file write will be rejected.
+The rules below are ordered by frequency of application: naming first, type hints second, magic values third, then the rest.
 
-| Rule | What Will Block You |
-|------|-------------------|
-| No comments | Any `#` or `//` in code (shebangs, type:, noqa, eslint-directives, docstrings exempt) |
-| Imports at top | Any `import` inside a function body |
-| Logging format | Any `log_*(f"...")` — use `log_*("...", arg)` instead |
-| File length | Any file > 400 lines |
-| Magic values | Any literal in function body (0, 1, -1 exempt). Includes structural f-string fragments |
-| Constants location | Any `UPPER_SNAKE =` outside `config/` directory |
+### Naming patterns (Law 1 expanded)
 
-## Code Generation Checklist (run mentally before EVERY function)
+Use this pattern when looping over a collection:
+
+```python
+for each_user in all_users:
+    notify(each_user)
+```
+
+### Complete type hints
+
+Every parameter and return type is declared explicitly. `Any` is replaced with the concrete type. `# type: ignore` is replaced with a fix that resolves the underlying type issue.
+
+```python
+def fetch_orders_for_customer(customer_id: int) -> list[Order]:
+    return database.query_orders(customer_id=customer_id)
+```
+
+### Magic values → named constants
+
+Literals in production function bodies move to `config/`. The numbers `0`, `1`, and `-1` are exempt.
+
+```python
+from config.timing import MAXIMUM_RETRIES
+
+def fetch_with_retries(url: str) -> str:
+    for each_attempt in range(MAXIMUM_RETRIES):
+        ...
+```
+
+String templates also count: when the structural literal text inside an f-string (paths, URLs, patterns) survives stripping the interpolations, that text is a magic value and belongs in config.
+
+### Comment preservation
+
+Existing comments on lines that remain otherwise unchanged stay exactly as you found them. The hook enforces both directions: the gate fires on a new inline `#` or `//` in production code, and the gate also fires when an existing comment disappears from a line you touched. New code self-documents via names; new docstrings on functions, methods, classes, and modules remain allowed.
+
+### Centralized configuration
+
+Constants live in `config/`. New scalar constants land in:
+- `config/timing.py` — timeouts, delays, retries
+- `config/constants.py` — ports, URLs, thresholds
+- `config/selectors.py` — CSS selectors
+
+Hooks under `~/.claude/hooks/` are standalone scripts; module-level `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` at file scope is acceptable there because the hooks directory has no `config/` companion.
+
+### Reuse before create
+
+Search first. Import second. Create last. Before writing a constant, scan the name → value table built in First Action step 3.
+
+### File-global constants use-count rule
+
+A file-global constant outside `config/` must be referenced by at least two methods, functions, or classes in the same file.
+
+| References | Action |
+|---|---|
+| 0 | Delete — dead code |
+| 1 | Move the value to `config/`, import at module scope, alias inside the consuming method |
+| 2+ | Keep at file scope |
+
+```python
+from config.timing import MAXIMUM_RETRIES
+
+def fetch_with_retries(url: str) -> str:
+    maximum_retries = MAXIMUM_RETRIES
+    for each_attempt in range(maximum_retries):
+        ...
+```
+
+### Constants location
+
+Production-code `UPPER_SNAKE = ...` at module scope outside `config/` is flagged. Exempt path families: `config/*`, `/migrations/`, `/workflow/`, `_tab.py`, `/states.py`, `/modules.py`, and all test files (`test_*.py`, `*_test.py`, `*.spec.*`, `conftest.py`, paths under `/tests/`).
+
+### Logging format
+
+Logging calls take the format string and arguments as separate parameters. The hook fires on any f-string passed to `log_*`.
+
+```python
+log_info("processed %d orders for customer %s", order_count, customer_id)
+```
+
+### Imports at module top
+
+Every `import` lives at the top of the module. Imports placed inside function bodies trigger the gate.
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+def read_configuration(configuration_path: str) -> dict[str, str]:
+    ...
+```
+
+### File length advisory
+
+File length is a smell signal, rather than a hard cap. The hook surfaces advisories at 400 lines (soft "consider splitting") and 1000 lines (strong nudge — exceeds widely-used static-analysis defaults). Both thresholds emit to stderr and let the write succeed. Split based on cohesion, not line count: legitimate registries, migrations, and fixtures are sometimes long.
+
+### Right-sized engineering
+
+Functions over classes when no state is needed. Concrete classes over abstract bases. Direct imports over dependency-injection containers. Use ABCs, factories, and DI frameworks at the commit that introduces a second concrete implementation.
+
+### SOLID
+
+SRP applies always — one reason to change per function, class, or module. OCP, LSP, ISP, and DIP earn their keep at the commit that introduces the second concrete implementation. With one concretion, Right-Sized Engineering takes precedence.
+
+### Self-contained components
+
+Children own their state, modals, overlays, and toasts. Parents render `<Child />` and pass props.
+
+```tsx
+function OrderList() {
+    return (
+        <div>
+            {all_orders.map(each_order => <OrderCard order={each_order} />)}
+        </div>
+    );
+}
+```
+
+`OrderCard` owns its expanded/collapsed state, its confirmation modal, and its toast on action — `OrderList` knows none of that and stays focused on layout.
+
+### Reuse data already in scope
+
+Pass values through the call chain rather than re-fetching.
+
+```python
+def render_dashboard(profile: Profile) -> Dashboard:
+    return Dashboard(name=profile.display_name, plan=profile.plan_tier)
+```
+
+When `profile` is already loaded, build the dashboard from it; fetch only when the data is genuinely absent.
+
+### Test-file exemptions
+
+Tests are exempt from several gates: magic values, constants location, file-global use-count, and the new-inline-comment gate. Test-file detection covers `test_*.py`, `*_test.py`, `*.test.*`, `*.spec.*`, `conftest.py`, and any path under `/tests/`.
+
+## Hook-Enforced Rules (pass these gates to commit your write)
+
+These gates are checked by `code_rules_enforcer.py`. Satisfying each gate lets your file write succeed.
+
+| Rule | What this rule looks for |
+|------|--------------------------|
+| Self-documenting names only | New `#` or `//` in production code (shebangs, `# type:`, `# noqa`, eslint-directives, docstrings exempt) |
+| Comment preservation | Removal of existing comments on lines that remain otherwise unchanged |
+| Imports at top | `import` statements placed inside function bodies |
+| Logging format | `log_*(f"...")` — replace with `log_*("...", arg)` |
+| File length | Advisory at 400 lines (soft), strong nudge at 1000 — emitted to stderr; the write proceeds |
+| Magic values | Literals inside production function bodies (0, 1, -1 exempt; structural f-string fragments included) |
+| Constants location | Module-level `UPPER_SNAKE = ...` outside `config/` in production code (exempt path families listed in Inline Rule Reference) |
+
+## Code Generation Checklist (the first-attempt-quality evaluator)
+
+Walk this checklist twice for every function: once as you plan the function, then once after writing as the evaluator pass. Revise any failure before declaring the write done. The checklist exists so first-attempt code clears every hook gate without needing a revision pass — aim for zero hook fires per write.

 ## Constants Protocol
 
-**Before writing ANY constant or literal:**
+Decision tree before writing any constant:
 
-1. Search existing configs in project config/ directory
-2. Found exact value? → **IMPORT IT**
-3. Found semantic match? → **USE EXISTING NAME**
-4. Config file exists for this type? → **ADD TO EXISTING FILE**
-5. No config exists? → Create in appropriate `config/` file
+1. Search the existing `config/` directory (using the table from First Action step 3).
+2. Found exact value → **import it**.
+3. Found semantic match → **reuse the existing name**.
+4. Config file exists for this category → **add to the existing file**.
+5. No matching config exists → **create the file in the appropriate `config/` location**.
 
-**Config locations:**
 | Type | File |
 |------|------|
 | Timeouts, delays, retries | `config/timing.py` |
 | Ports, URLs, thresholds | `config/constants.py` |
 | CSS selectors | `config/selectors.py` |
 
-**For hooks in `~/.claude/hooks/`:** Module-level `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` constants at file scope are acceptable (hooks are standalone scripts without config/ directories).
+For hooks under `~/.claude/hooks/`: module-level `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` at file scope is acceptable because hooks ship as standalone scripts.
 
-## Scope Discipline — Touch Only What You're Told
+## Scope Discipline — Touch Only What the Task Requires
 
-**Default behavior:** Only modify code directly required by the current task. Do NOT refactor, rename, or restructure code that is not part of the task.
+**Default behavior:** Modify only the code the current task explicitly requires. Scope every change to exactly the lines the task names.
 
-- If adjacent code is messy but works — **leave it alone**
-- If a function you're calling has a bad name — **call it by its bad name**
-- If an import is unused elsewhere in the file — **not your problem unless the task says so**
-- If you see violations of CODE_RULES in untouched lines — **ignore them**
+- Adjacent code that is messy but working — leave it for an explicit refactor task; it stays outside scope.
+- A function whose name falls short — call it by its existing name; record a follow-up rename task rather than expanding scope inline.
+- An import unused elsewhere in the file — stays in scope only when the task explicitly includes that line.
+- CODE_RULES deviations on untouched lines — record them mentally and surface them when the task is complete; the write scope covers only the lines the task requires.
 
-**This default is overridden ONLY by explicit user instruction** such as "refactor this entire file", "clean up this module", or "rename everything in this file". Without that instruction, your scope is exactly the lines the task requires and nothing more.

+- **Simple > Clever.** Functions over classes. Concrete over abstract.
 - **Reuse Before Create.** Search first. Import second. Create last.
-- **Right-Sized.** No ABC for single impl. No DI frameworks. No factory for single type.
-- **Self-Contained Components.** Children own their state, modals, toasts. Parents just render `<Child />`.
-- **No Redundant Fetches.** If you have the data, use it. Do not fetch again.
+- **Right-Sized.** Use ABCs, DI frameworks, and factories at the commit that introduces a second concrete implementation.
+- **Self-Contained Components.** Children own their state, modals, toasts. Parents render `<Child />`.
+- **Reuse data already in scope.** When the value is already in hand, use it; fetch only when the data is genuinely absent.
 - **Encapsulation.** Expose constants via helper functions: `is_max_level(level)` over `level >= MAXIMUM_LEVEL`.
 
 ## TDD Process (when tests are part of the task)
 
-1. **RED** — Write failing test first. No production code yet.
-2. **GREEN** — Write MINIMUM code to pass. Resist the urge to add more.
-3. **REFACTOR** — Only if valuable. Do not refactor for its own sake.
+1. **RED** — Write a failing test first; production code comes only in response to that test.
+2. **GREEN** — Write the MINIMUM code to pass; resist adding more.
+3. **REFACTOR** — Apply only when valuable; refactor for a concrete smell, rather than for its own sake.
 
 ## Docstrings
