+
+### Framework Self-Development Rules (self-evolve mode)
+
+When working in self-evolve mode (developing the PrizmKit framework itself), these additional rules apply:
+
+1. **Skill metadata sync**: If you modify any file in `core/skills/<skill-name>/`, you MUST also update `core/skills/<skill-name>/_metadata.json` to reflect changes (description, version, dependencies).
+2. **Template variable check**: If you modify any file in `dev-pipeline/templates/`, verify all `{{PLACEHOLDER}}` markers are resolvable by checking `dev-pipeline/scripts/generate-bootstrap-prompt.py` for matching entries.
+3. **Pre-completion validation**: Before marking implementation complete, run `node tests/validate-all.js` and fix any failures.
+4. **Bundle protection**: NEVER directly modify files in `create-prizmkit/bundled/`. These are auto-generated by `scripts/bundle.js` — your changes would be overwritten.
+5. **Reload tracking**: If you modify files in `dev-pipeline/scripts/`, `dev-pipeline/templates/`, or `core/skills/` that the pipeline actively uses, note this in your Implementation Log so the orchestrator can set `reload_needed: true`.

+
+### Framework Self-Development Review (self-evolve mode)
+
+When reviewing in self-evolve mode (framework is modifying itself), add these review dimensions:
+
+1. **`_metadata.json` ↔ skill directory 1:1 mapping**: Verify every `core/skills/*/` has a `_metadata.json`, and every `_metadata.json` references a valid skill directory. Run `node tests/validate-all.js` to automate this check.
+2. **Template variable completeness**: For modified `dev-pipeline/templates/*.md` files, verify all `{{PLACEHOLDER}}` markers have matching open/close tags and are resolvable by `generate-bootstrap-prompt.py`.
+3. **Agent frontmatter validation**: For modified `core/agents/*.md` files, validate YAML frontmatter contains required fields: `name`, `description`, `tools`. Optionally check `model`, `skills`.
+4. **CI gate execution**: Run `npm run ci` and report the full result. Any failure here is **CRITICAL** severity — the framework must always ship green.
+5. **Bundle safety check**: Verify no files in `create-prizmkit/bundled/` were directly modified (use `git diff --name-only` to check). Direct modifications to bundled assets are always CRITICAL.
