- # ADR Format
2
-
3
- ADRs live in `docs/adr/` and use sequential numbering: `0001-slug.md`, `0002-slug.md`, etc.
4
-
5
- Create the `docs/adr/` directory lazily — only when the first ADR is needed.
6
-
7
- ## Template
8
-
9
- ```md
10
- # {Short title of the decision}
11
-
12
- {1-3 sentences: what's the context, what did we decide, and why.}
13
- ```
14
-
15
- That's it. An ADR can be a single paragraph. The value is in recording *that* a decision was made and *why* — not in filling out sections.
16
-
17
- ## Optional sections
18
-
19
- Only include these when they add genuine value. Most ADRs won't need them.
20
-
21
- - **Status** frontmatter (`proposed | accepted | deprecated | superseded by ADR-NNNN`) — useful when decisions are revisited
22
- - **Considered Options** — only when the rejected alternatives are worth remembering
23
- - **Consequences** — only when non-obvious downstream effects need to be called out
24
-
25
- ## Numbering
26
-
27
- Scan `docs/adr/` for the highest existing number and increment by one.
28
-
29
- ## When to offer an ADR
30
-
31
- All three of these must be true:
32
-
33
- 1. **Hard to reverse** — the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
34
- 2. **Surprising without context** — a future reader will look at the code and wonder "why on earth did they do it this way?"
35
- 3. **The result of a real trade-off** — there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
36
-
37
- If a decision is easy to reverse, skip it — you'll just reverse it. If it's not surprising, nobody will wonder why. If there was no real alternative, there's nothing to record beyond "we did the obvious thing."
38
-
39
- ### What qualifies
40
-
41
- - **Architectural shape.** "We're using a monorepo." "The write model is event-sourced, the read model is projected into Postgres."
42
- - **Integration patterns between contexts.** "Ordering and Billing communicate via domain events, not synchronous HTTP."
43
- - **Technology choices that carry lock-in.** Database, message bus, auth provider, deployment target. Not every library — just the ones that would take a quarter to swap out.
44
- - **Boundary and scope decisions.** "Customer data is owned by the Customer context; other contexts reference it by ID only." The explicit no-s are as valuable as the yes-s.
45
- - **Deliberate deviations from the obvious path.** "We're using manual SQL instead of an ORM because X." Anything where a reasonable reader would assume the opposite. These stop the next engineer from "fixing" something that was deliberate.
46
- - **Constraints not visible in the code.** "We can't use AWS because of compliance requirements." "Response times must be under 200ms because of the partner API contract."
47
- - **Rejected alternatives when the rejection is non-obvious.** If you considered GraphQL and picked REST for subtle reasons, record it — otherwise someone will suggest GraphQL again in six months.

- ## Structure
4
-
5
- ```md
6
- # {Context Name}
7
-
8
- {One or two sentence description of what this context is and why it exists.}
9
-
10
- ## Language
11
-
12
- **Order**:
13
- {A concise description of the term}
14
- _Avoid_: Purchase, transaction
15
-
16
- **Invoice**:
17
- A request for payment sent to a customer after delivery.
18
- _Avoid_: Bill, payment request
19
-
20
- **Customer**:
21
- A person or organization that places orders.
22
- _Avoid_: Client, buyer, account
23
-
24
- ## Relationships
25
-
26
- - An **Order** produces one or more **Invoices**
27
- - An **Invoice** belongs to exactly one **Customer**
28
-
29
- ## Example dialogue
30
-
31
- > **Dev:** "When a **Customer** places an **Order**, do we create the **Invoice** immediately?"
32
- > **Domain expert:** "No — an **Invoice** is only generated once a **Fulfillment** is confirmed."
33
-
34
- ## Flagged ambiguities
35
-
36
- - "account" was used to mean both **Customer** and **User** — resolved: these are distinct concepts.
37
- ```
38
-
39
- ## Rules
40
-
41
- - **Be opinionated.** When multiple words exist for the same concept, pick the best one and list the others as aliases to avoid.
42
- - **Flag conflicts explicitly.** If a term is used ambiguously, call it out in "Flagged ambiguities" with a clear resolution.
43
- - **Keep definitions tight.** One sentence max. Define what it IS, not what it does.
44
- - **Show relationships.** Use bold term names and express cardinality where obvious.
45
- - **Only include terms specific to this project's context.** General programming concepts (timeouts, error types, utility patterns) don't belong even if the project uses them extensively. Before adding a term, ask: is this a concept unique to this context, or a general programming concept? Only the former belongs.
46
- - **Group terms under subheadings** when natural clusters emerge. If all terms belong to a single cohesive area, a flat list is fine.
47
- - **Write an example dialogue.** A conversation between a dev and a domain expert that demonstrates how the terms interact naturally and clarifies boundaries between related concepts.
48
-
49
- ## Single vs multi-context repos
50
-
51
- **Single context (most repos):** One `CONTEXT.md` at the repo root.
52
-
53
- **Multiple contexts:** A `CONTEXT-MAP.md` at the repo root lists the contexts, where they live, and how they relate to each other:
54
-
55
- ```md
56
- # Context Map
57
-
58
- ## Contexts
59
-
60
- - [Ordering](./src/ordering/CONTEXT.md) — receives and tracks customer orders
61
- - [Billing](./src/billing/CONTEXT.md) — generates invoices and processes payments
62
- - [Fulfillment](./src/fulfillment/CONTEXT.md) — manages warehouse picking and shipping
63
-
64
- ## Relationships
65
-
66
- - **Ordering → Fulfillment**: Ordering emits `OrderPlaced` events; Fulfillment consumes them to start picking
67
- - **Fulfillment → Billing**: Fulfillment emits `ShipmentDispatched` events; Billing consumes them to generate invoices
68
- - **Ordering ↔ Billing**: Shared types for `CustomerId` and `Money`
69
- ```
70
-
71
- The skill infers which structure applies:
72
-
73
- - If `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists, read it to find contexts
74
- - If only a root `CONTEXT.md` exists, single context
75
- - If neither exists, create a root `CONTEXT.md` lazily when the first term is resolved
76
-
77
- When multiple contexts exist, infer which one the current topic relates to. If unclear, ask.

18
- ## Domain awareness
19
-
20
- During codebase exploration, also look for existing documentation:
21
-
22
- ### File structure
23
-
24
- Most repos have a single context:
25
-
26
- ```
27
- /
28
- ├── CONTEXT.md
29
- ├── docs/
30
- │ └── adr/
31
- │ ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
32
- │ └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
33
- └── src/
34
- ```
35
-
36
- If a `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists at the root, the repo has multiple contexts. The map points to where each one lives:
37
-
38
- ```
39
- /
40
- ├── CONTEXT-MAP.md
41
- ├── docs/
42
- │ └── adr/ ← system-wide decisions
43
- ├── src/
44
- │ ├── ordering/
45
- │ │ ├── CONTEXT.md
46
- │ │ └── docs/adr/ ← context-specific decisions
47
- │ └── billing/
48
- │ ├── CONTEXT.md
49
- │ └── docs/adr/
50
- ```
51
-
52
- Create files lazily — only when you have something to write. If no `CONTEXT.md` exists, create one when the first term is resolved. If no `docs/adr/` exists, create it when the first ADR is needed.
53
-
54
- ## During the session
55
-
56
- ### Challenge against the glossary
57
-
58
- When the user uses a term that conflicts with the existing language in `CONTEXT.md`, call it out immediately. "Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y — which is it?"
59
-
60
- ### Sharpen fuzzy language
61
-
62
- When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account' — do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."
63
-
64
- ### Discuss concrete scenarios
65
-
66
- When domain relationships are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent scenarios that probe edge cases and force the user to be precise about the boundaries between concepts.
67
-
68
- ### Cross-reference with code
69
-
70
- When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible — which is right?"
71
-
72
- ### Update CONTEXT.md inline
73
-
74
- When a term is resolved, update `CONTEXT.md` right there. Don't batch these up — capture them as they happen. Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md).
75
-
76
- Don't couple `CONTEXT.md` to implementation details. Only include terms that are meaningful to domain experts.
77
-
78
- ### Offer ADRs sparingly
79
-
80
- Only offer to create an ADR when all three are true:
81
-
82
- 1. **Hard to reverse** — the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
83
- 2. **Surprising without context** — a future reader will wonder "why did they do it this way?"
84
- 3. **The result of a real trade-off** — there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
85
-
86
- If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR. Use the format in [ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md).

- # Deepening
2
-
3
- How to deepen a cluster of shallow modules safely, given its dependencies. Assumes the vocabulary in [LANGUAGE.md](LANGUAGE.md) — **module**, **interface**, **seam**, **adapter**.
4
-
5
- ## Dependency categories
6
-
7
- When assessing a candidate for deepening, classify its dependencies. The category determines how the deepened module is tested across its seam.
8
-
9
- ### 1. In-process
10
-
11
- Pure computation, in-memory state, no I/O. Always deepenable — merge the modules and test through the new interface directly. No adapter needed.
12
-
13
- ### 2. Local-substitutable
14
-
15
- Dependencies that have local test stand-ins (PGLite for Postgres, in-memory filesystem). Deepenable if the stand-in exists. The deepened module is tested with the stand-in running in the test suite. The seam is internal; no port at the module's external interface.
16
-
17
- ### 3. Remote but owned (Ports & Adapters)
18
-
19
- Your own services across a network boundary (microservices, internal APIs). Define a **port** (interface) at the seam. The deep module owns the logic; the transport is injected as an **adapter**. Tests use an in-memory adapter. Production uses an HTTP/gRPC/queue adapter.
20
-
21
- Recommendation shape: *"Define a port at the seam, implement an HTTP adapter for production and an in-memory adapter for testing, so the logic sits in one deep module even though it's deployed across a network."*
22
-
23
- ### 4. True external (Mock)
24
-
25
- Third-party services (Stripe, Twilio, etc.) you don't control. The deepened module takes the external dependency as an injected port; tests provide a mock adapter.
26
-
27
- ## Seam discipline
28
-
29
- - **One adapter means a hypothetical seam. Two adapters means a real one.** Don't introduce a port unless at least two adapters are justified (typically production + test). A single-adapter seam is just indirection.
30
- - **Internal seams vs external seams.** A deep module can have internal seams (private to its implementation, used by its own tests) as well as the external seam at its interface. Don't expose internal seams through the interface just because tests use them.
31
-
32
- ## Testing strategy: replace, don't layer
33
-
34
- - Old unit tests on shallow modules become waste once tests at the deepened module's interface exist — delete them.
35
- - Write new tests at the deepened module's interface. The **interface is the test surface**.
36
- - Tests assert on observable outcomes through the interface, not internal state.
37
- - Tests should survive internal refactors — they describe behaviour, not implementation. If a test has to change when the implementation changes, it's testing past the interface.

- # Interface Design
2
-
3
- When the user wants to explore alternative interfaces for a chosen deepening candidate, use this parallel sub-agent pattern. Based on "Design It Twice" (Ousterhout) — your first idea is unlikely to be the best.
4
-
5
- Uses the vocabulary in [LANGUAGE.md](LANGUAGE.md) — **module**, **interface**, **seam**, **adapter**, **leverage**.
6
-
7
- ## Process
8
-
9
- ### 1. Frame the problem space
10
-
11
- Before spawning sub-agents, write a user-facing explanation of the problem space for the chosen candidate:
12
-
13
- - The constraints any new interface would need to satisfy
14
- - The dependencies it would rely on, and which category they fall into (see [DEEPENING.md](DEEPENING.md))
15
- - A rough illustrative code sketch to ground the constraints — not a proposal, just a way to make the constraints concrete
16
-
17
- Show this to the user, then immediately proceed to Step 2. The user reads and thinks while the sub-agents work in parallel.
18
-
19
- ### 2. Spawn sub-agents
20
-
21
- Spawn 3+ sub-agents in parallel using the Agent tool. Each must produce a **radically different** interface for the deepened module.
22
-
23
- Prompt each sub-agent with a separate technical brief (file paths, coupling details, dependency category from [DEEPENING.md](DEEPENING.md), what sits behind the seam). The brief is independent of the user-facing problem-space explanation in Step 1. Give each agent a different design constraint:
24
-
25
- - Agent 1: "Minimize the interface — aim for 1–3 entry points max. Maximise leverage per entry point."
26
- - Agent 2: "Maximise flexibility — support many use cases and extension."
27
- - Agent 3: "Optimise for the most common caller — make the default case trivial."
28
- - Agent 4 (if applicable): "Design around ports & adapters for cross-seam dependencies."
29
-
30
- Include both [LANGUAGE.md](LANGUAGE.md) vocabulary and CONTEXT.md vocabulary in the brief so each sub-agent names things consistently with the architecture language and the project's domain language.
31
-
32
- Each sub-agent outputs:
33
-
34
- 1. Interface (types, methods, params — plus invariants, ordering, error modes)
35
- 2. Usage example showing how callers use it
36
- 3. What the implementation hides behind the seam
37
- 4. Dependency strategy and adapters (see [DEEPENING.md](DEEPENING.md))
38
- 5. Trade-offs — where leverage is high, where it's thin
39
-
40
- ### 3. Present and compare
41
-
42
- Present designs sequentially so the user can absorb each one, then compare them in prose. Contrast by **depth** (leverage at the interface), **locality** (where change concentrates), and **seam placement**.
43
-
44
- After comparing, give your own recommendation: which design you think is strongest and why. If elements from different designs would combine well, propose a hybrid. Be opinionated — the user wants a strong read, not a menu.

- # Language
2
-
3
- Shared vocabulary for every suggestion this skill makes. Use these terms exactly — don't substitute "component," "service," "API," or "boundary." Consistent language is the whole point.
4
-
5
- ## Terms
6
-
7
- **Module**
8
- Anything with an interface and an implementation. Deliberately scale-agnostic — applies equally to a function, class, package, or tier-spanning slice.
9
- _Avoid_: unit, component, service.
10
-
11
- **Interface**
12
- Everything a caller must know to use the module correctly. Includes the type signature, but also invariants, ordering constraints, error modes, required configuration, and performance characteristics.
13
- _Avoid_: API, signature (too narrow — those refer only to the type-level surface).
14
-
15
- **Implementation**
16
- What's inside a module — its body of code. Distinct from **Adapter**: a thing can be a small adapter with a large implementation (a Postgres repo) or a large adapter with a small implementation (an in-memory fake). Reach for "adapter" when the seam is the topic; "implementation" otherwise.
17
-
18
- **Depth**
19
- Leverage at the interface — the amount of behaviour a caller (or test) can exercise per unit of interface they have to learn. A module is **deep** when a large amount of behaviour sits behind a small interface. A module is **shallow** when the interface is nearly as complex as the implementation.
20
-
21
- **Seam** _(from Michael Feathers)_
22
- A place where you can alter behaviour without editing in that place. The *location* at which a module's interface lives. Choosing where to put the seam is its own design decision, distinct from what goes behind it.
23
- _Avoid_: boundary (overloaded with DDD's bounded context).
24
-
25
- **Adapter**
26
- A concrete thing that satisfies an interface at a seam. Describes *role* (what slot it fills), not substance (what's inside).
27
-
28
- **Leverage**
29
- What callers get from depth. More capability per unit of interface they have to learn. One implementation pays back across N call sites and M tests.
30
-
31
- **Locality**
32
- What maintainers get from depth. Change, bugs, knowledge, and verification concentrate at one place rather than spreading across callers. Fix once, fixed everywhere.
33
-
34
- ## Principles
35
-
36
- - **Depth is a property of the interface, not the implementation.** A deep module can be internally composed of small, mockable, swappable parts — they just aren't part of the interface. A module can have **internal seams** (private to its implementation, used by its own tests) as well as the **external seam** at its interface.
37
- - **The deletion test.** Imagine deleting the module. If complexity vanishes, the module wasn't hiding anything (it was a pass-through). If complexity reappears across N callers, the module was earning its keep.
38
- - **The interface is the test surface.** Callers and tests cross the same seam. If you want to test *past* the interface, the module is probably the wrong shape.
39
- - **One adapter means a hypothetical seam. Two adapters means a real one.** Don't introduce a seam unless something actually varies across it.
40
-
41
- ## Relationships
42
-
43
- - A **Module** has exactly one **Interface** (the surface it presents to callers and tests).
44
- - **Depth** is a property of a **Module**, measured against its **Interface**.
45
- - A **Seam** is where a **Module**'s **Interface** lives.
46
- - An **Adapter** sits at a **Seam** and satisfies the **Interface**.
47
- - **Depth** produces **Leverage** for callers and **Locality** for maintainers.
48
-
49
- ## Rejected framings
50
-
51
- - **Depth as ratio of implementation-lines to interface-lines** (Ousterhout): rewards padding the implementation. We use depth-as-leverage instead.
52
- - **"Interface" as the TypeScript `interface` keyword or a class's public methods**: too narrow — interface here includes every fact a caller must know.
53
- - **"Boundary"**: overloaded with DDD's bounded context. Say **seam** or **interface**.

29
- This skill is _informed_ by the project's domain model. The domain language gives names to good seams; ADRs record decisions the skill should not re-litigate.
30
-
31
- ## Process
32
-
33
- ### 1. Explore
34
-
35
- Read the project's domain glossary and any ADRs in the area you're touching first.
36
-
37
- Then use the Agent tool with `subagent_type=Explore` to walk the codebase. Don't follow rigid heuristics — explore organically and note where you experience friction:
38
-
39
- - Where does understanding one concept require bouncing between many small modules?
40
- - Where are modules **shallow** — interface nearly as complex as the implementation?
41
- - Where have pure functions been extracted just for testability, but the real bugs hide in how they're called (no **locality**)?
42
- - Where do tightly-coupled modules leak across their seams?
43
- - Which parts of the codebase are untested, or hard to test through their current interface?
44
-
45
- Apply the **deletion test** to anything you suspect is shallow: would deleting it concentrate complexity, or just move it? A "yes, concentrates" is the signal you want.
46
-
47
- ### 2. Present candidates
48
-
49
- Present a numbered list of deepening opportunities. For each candidate:
50
-
51
- - **Files** — which files/modules are involved
52
- - **Problem** — why the current architecture is causing friction
53
- - **Solution** — plain English description of what would change
54
- - **Benefits** — explained in terms of locality and leverage, and also in how tests would improve
55
-
56
- **Use CONTEXT.md vocabulary for the domain, and [LANGUAGE.md](LANGUAGE.md) vocabulary for the architecture.** If `CONTEXT.md` defines "Order," talk about "the Order intake module" — not "the FooBarHandler," and not "the Order service."
57
-
58
- **ADR conflicts**: if a candidate contradicts an existing ADR, only surface it when the friction is real enough to warrant revisiting the ADR. Mark it clearly (e.g. _"contradicts ADR-0007 — but worth reopening because…"_). Don't list every theoretical refactor an ADR forbids.
59
-
60
- Do NOT propose interfaces yet. Ask the user: "Which of these would you like to explore?"
61
-
62
- ### 3. Grilling loop
63
-
64
- Once the user picks a candidate, drop into a grilling conversation. Walk the design tree with them — constraints, dependencies, the shape of the deepened module, what sits behind the seam, what tests survive.
65
-
66
- Side effects happen inline as decisions crystallize:
67
-
68
- - **Naming a deepened module after a concept not in `CONTEXT.md`?** Add the term to `CONTEXT.md` — same discipline as `/grill-with-docs` (see [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](../grill-with-docs/CONTEXT-FORMAT.md)). Create the file lazily if it doesn't exist.
69
- - **Sharpening a fuzzy term during the conversation?** Update `CONTEXT.md` right there.
70
- - **User rejects the candidate with a load-bearing reason?** Offer an ADR, framed as: _"Want me to record this as an ADR so future architecture reviews don't re-suggest it?"_ Only offer when the reason would actually be needed by a future explorer to avoid re-suggesting the same thing — skip ephemeral reasons ("not worth it right now") and self-evident ones. See [ADR-FORMAT.md](../grill-with-docs/ADR-FORMAT.md).
71
- - **Want to explore alternative interfaces for the deepened module?** See [INTERFACE-DESIGN.md](INTERFACE-DESIGN.md).

- # Test-Driven Development
7
-
8
- ## Philosophy
9
-
10
- **Core principle**: Tests should verify behavior through public interfaces, not implementation details. Code can change entirely; tests shouldn't.
11
-
12
- **Good tests** are integration-style: they exercise real code paths through public APIs. They describe _what_ the system does, not _how_ it does it. A good test reads like a specification - "user can checkout with valid cart" tells you exactly what capability exists. These tests survive refactors because they don't care about internal structure.
13
-
14
- **Bad tests** are coupled to implementation. They mock internal collaborators, test private methods, or verify through external means (like querying a database directly instead of using the interface). The warning sign: your test breaks when you refactor, but behavior hasn't changed. If you rename an internal function and tests fail, those tests were testing implementation, not behavior.
15
-
16
- See [tests.md](tests.md) for examples and [mocking.md](mocking.md) for mocking guidelines.
17
-
18
- ## Anti-Pattern: Horizontal Slices
19
-
20
- **DO NOT write all tests first, then all implementation.** This is "horizontal slicing" - treating RED as "write all tests" and GREEN as "write all code."
21
-
22
- This produces **crap tests**:
23
-
24
- - Tests written in bulk test _imagined_ behavior, not _actual_ behavior
25
- - You end up testing the _shape_ of things (data structures, function signatures) rather than user-facing behavior
26
- - Tests become insensitive to real changes - they pass when behavior breaks, fail when behavior is fine
27
- - You outrun your headlights, committing to test structure before understanding the implementation
28
-
29
- **Correct approach**: Vertical slices via tracer bullets. One test → one implementation → repeat. Each test responds to what you learned from the previous cycle. Because you just wrote the code, you know exactly what behavior matters and how to verify it.
30
-
31
- ```
32
- WRONG (horizontal):
33
- RED: test1, test2, test3, test4, test5
34
- GREEN: impl1, impl2, impl3, impl4, impl5
35
-
36
- RIGHT (vertical):
37
- RED→GREEN: test1→impl1
38
- RED→GREEN: test2→impl2
39
- RED→GREEN: test3→impl3
40
- ...
41
- ```
42
-
43
- ## Workflow
44
-
45
- ### 1. Planning
46
-
47
- When exploring the codebase, use the project's domain glossary so that test names and interface vocabulary match the project's language, and respect ADRs in the area you're touching.
48
-
49
- Before writing any code:
50
-
51
- - [ ] Confirm with user what interface changes are needed
52
- - [ ] Confirm with user which behaviors to test (prioritize)
53
- - [ ] Identify opportunities for [deep modules](deep-modules.md) (small interface, deep implementation)
54
- - [ ] Design interfaces for [testability](interface-design.md)
55
- - [ ] List the behaviors to test (not implementation steps)
56
- - [ ] Get user approval on the plan
57
-
58
- Ask: "What should the public interface look like? Which behaviors are most important to test?"
59
-
60
- **You can't test everything.** Confirm with the user exactly which behaviors matter most. Focus testing effort on critical paths and complex logic, not every possible edge case.
61
-
62
- ### 2. Tracer Bullet
63
-
64
- Write ONE test that confirms ONE thing about the system:
65
-
66
- ```
67
- RED: Write test for first behavior → test fails
68
- GREEN: Write minimal code to pass → test passes
69
- ```
70
-
71
- This is your tracer bullet - proves the path works end-to-end.
72
-
73
- ### 3. Incremental Loop
74
-
75
- For each remaining behavior:
76
-
77
- ```
78
- RED: Write next test → fails
79
- GREEN: Minimal code to pass → passes
80
- ```
81
-
82
- Rules:
83
-
84
- - One test at a time
85
- - Only enough code to pass current test
86
- - Don't anticipate future tests
87
- - Keep tests focused on observable behavior
88
-
89
- ### 4. Refactor
90
-
91
- After all tests pass, look for [refactor candidates](refactoring.md):
92
-
93
- - [ ] Extract duplication
94
- - [ ] Deepen modules (move complexity behind simple interfaces)
95
- - [ ] Apply SOLID principles where natural
96
- - [ ] Consider what new code reveals about existing code
97
- - [ ] Run tests after each refactor step
98
-
99
- **Never refactor while RED.** Get to GREEN first.
100
-
101
- ## Checklist Per Cycle
102
-
103
- ```
104
- [ ] Test describes behavior, not implementation
105
- [ ] Test uses public interface only
106
- [ ] Test would survive internal refactor
107
- [ ] Code is minimal for this test
108
- [ ] No speculative features added
109
- ```
