When to use

  • Design or audit system boundaries and consequential technical decisions.

Not for: spec for behavior; codebase-design for existing module boundaries.

Steps

  1. Extract confirmed behavior, real constraints and operational context; do not invent quality thresholds.
  2. Investigate comparable implementations and current official docs for consequential choices; compare complexity, failure modes and operating costs.
  3. Define components, trust boundaries, ownership, contracts and recovery using the simplest adequate architecture.
  4. Record significant decisions and rejected alternatives; prepare TECH and risk-based human review before dependent implementation.

Output: Suggested paths, subject to human audit: docs/TECH.md; optionally docs/vX.Y/tech.md and docs/design/adr/NNNN-slug.md.

Verify

  • Boundaries and failure paths fit requirements; significant decisions have evidence, trade-offs and review criteria.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
