Principles
Four standards behind every decision.
Quality is clarity, taste, and software that stays easy to maintain.
- i.
Small, focused systems
Scope is a design tool. Features earn their place.
AppliedPruneAgent prefers editing an existing file over creating a new one. Max one new file per task by default.
- ii.
Tasteful interfaces
Type, spacing, hierarchy. Restraint over decoration.
AppliedEvery product UI ships with one accent, one type pair, and no decorative surfaces that do not earn their pixels.
- iii.
Reliable execution
Code the next reader can change. Maintenance is a feature.
AppliedPruneAgent avoids one-use abstractions and premature interfaces so the next reader inherits less, not more.
- iv.
AI with structure
Context, constraints, checks. Structure compounds.
AppliedPruneOS writes a prune plan before every change. No file is touched without a stated reason and a reviewable diff.
