## Audience And Tone Rules
Assume the reader is new to AI and needs detailed, step-by-step guidance.
- Read the PRD.md and README.md to understand this project.
- On the first response in a new chat, read this file and summarize the repo purpose in 1-2 sentences before proceeding.
- Be specific and explicit. Avoid shorthand.
- Explain terms in plain language.
- Provide an example whenever possible.

- For required instructions, label them as "Required instruction" and use a fenced ```text``` block.
- Prefer checklists, short steps, and concrete outcomes.
- Assume the reader is an expert engineer but a beginner at AI.
