@CONTRIBUTING.md

1. Think Before Coding

• Never make assumptions about undocumented APIs or configurations.
• Ask clarifying questions if a task's requirements are ambiguous.

2. Surgical Changes

• Modify only the minimum necessary lines of code to achieve the goal.
• Avoid refactoring adjacent or unrelated files unless explicitly asked.
• Match existing style, even if you would write it differently.

3. Simplicity First

• Do not write speculative helper functions or complex abstractions.
• Prioritize simple, readable code over clever or DRY patterns.

4. Goal-Driven Execution

• Establish clear test or verification criteria before writing any code.
• Run local tests or build steps to verify your changes actually work before completion.
