Every system I architect adheres to strict software engineering and operational standards:
- Parent Monorepos + Satellite Repositories: Monorepos contain 100% of the project's source code. Deployment surfaces (marketing landing pages, mobile apps) are mirrored directly via
git subtree push, ensuring zero nested.gitconflicts and friction-free isolated deployments. - 100% 4-File Parity Governance: Every codebase strictly implements the 4 pillars at its root:
AGENTS.md— The Constitution (architectural boundaries, design systems, and rules).CLAUDE.md— Thin CLI guide (ports, commands, and local runtime rules).ROADMAP.md— Live milestone and delivery tracker (Completed, In Progress, Backlog).CONTRIBUTING.md— Conventional Commits, branch workflows, and PR hygiene.
- Clean Git Discipline: Intentional Conventional Commits (
feat:,fix:,docs:,chore:), zero automated backup noise, and pre-commit typecheck/build verification.
