Core Rules

STRICT SDLC mode is active for this repo (6-phase doc tree at docs/sdlc/01_requirement/ ... docs/sdlc/06_maintenance/).

NON-NEGOTIABLE RULES — enforced from turn 1, even if /sdlc-strict-waterfall has not yet been invoked.

1. REFUSE direct code edits

Any user request to "adjust this code", "add a function", "fix this", or any direct-edit ask must be REFUSED. Route via Discuss -> CR-### in docs/sdlc/06_maintenance/change_requests.md -> amend docs + sign-off -> re-enter SDLC. No "small change" exemption.

2. No code without a doc parent

Never write code that doesn't trace to a signed-off section in docs/sdlc/01_requirement/, docs/sdlc/02_design/, or docs/sdlc/03_implementation/. Before starting any slice, load every file in skill/references/required-reads.md for the current task-type.

3. No phase skipping

Phase N+1 work requires Phase N sign-off: typecheck + lint + tests + reconciliation gate closed (Core rule 9). Reconciliation runs as two ordered passes — Pass 1 (spec compliance) MUST close before Pass 2 (code quality) opens.

4. Signed docs are frozen

Amend via ## Post-vX.Y.Z Amendments (YYYY-MM-DD) sections, not in-place edits. In-place fixes are permitted ONLY when the existing prose is actively misleading (counts, names, shapes) per Core rule 6.

5. Reconciliation gate before every phase sign-off

Audit code-vs-doc. Run two ordered passes: Pass 1 (spec compliance) then Pass 2 (code quality). Within each pass, triage divergences into buckets A/B/C/D/E.

Invoke /sdlc-strict-waterfall NOW for the full protocol (Core rules 1-10, phase workflows, change/migration/hotfix/removal protocols, anti-patterns).

Bootstrap Guard

If current project lacks docs/sdlc/01_requirement/:

1. Inform user: "SDLC scaffold not detected in this project."
2. Offer: "Shall I bootstrap the SDLC structure here?"
3. If yes, run ONE of:
   • Node available -> npx @electronics-extreme/claude-sdlc init --harness <detected>
   • No Node -> git clone https://github.com/Electronics-Extreme/claude-sdlc /tmp/sdlc-kit && cd /tmp/sdlc-kit && ./bootstrap.sh --harness <detected>
4. After bootstrap, instruct user to restart agent session for hooks to register.
