Repository Rules

• Prefer existing project patterns over new abstractions.
• Keep changes scoped to the user's request.
• Do not commit secrets, .env files, private keys, certificates, or tokens.
• Do not rewrite history or run destructive git commands unless explicitly requested.
• Do not create a release unless explicitly requested.

Commands

Use these commands when available:

LINT_COMMAND
TEST_COMMAND
BUILD_COMMAND
AUDIT_COMMAND

If a command is missing, inspect the project and document the closest safe alternative in .codex/project.md.

Security Notes

• Review docs/security-review.md before release work.
• Treat generated credentials and config files as sensitive.
• Keep external network calls documented.
• Prefer local processing for user data.
