Canon

Understand project governance before you act, so you do not spread heresy.

Articles of truth

Identify the authorities that bear on your task, then read the ones that carry meaning for it — not all of them, every time. The CLI is the source of truth — see [[mem.fact.doctrine.cli-source-of-truth]].

• CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md — standing instructions and conventions. Project conventions are documented in [[mem.pattern.doctrine.conventions]].
• project governance - list each of these; read any which are potentially relevant in full, with doctrine <kind> show <id>:
  • doctrine spec list - specs describing product intent / technical architecture
  • doctrine adr list - architecture decision records
  • doctrine policy list - policies
  • doctrine standard list - standards of practice
• the governing slice's design.md — canon for this change's design intent.
