Core Development Principles - Index

Modular core principles for efficient context loading. Load only what you need.

Module Structure

Essential (Load Always) - ~300 tokens

• essential-principles.md - Universal principles every agent must follow

Context Management - ~400 tokens each

• context-efficiency.md - Token optimization and JIT loading
• runtime-monitoring.md - Token accounting and self-regulation
• prompt-caching.md - Cache optimization strategies

Development Standards - ~200 tokens each

• code-quality.md - Naming, TypeScript, testing standards
• security-standards.md - Authentication, validation, API security
• performance-standards.md - Frontend and backend optimization
• documentation-standards.md - Code, API, architecture docs

Loading Strategy

For All Agents

ALWAYS LOAD:
- essential-principles.md (~300 tokens)

LOAD IF NEEDED:
- context-efficiency.md (when managing complex workflows)
- runtime-monitoring.md (when approaching token limits)
- prompt-caching.md (for repetitive tasks)
