When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Adding a new subsystem or major package
- Moving responsibilities between local store, cloud, dashboard, or plugins
- Changing sync flow, source-of-truth rules, or persistence boundaries
Core Guardrails
- Local SQLite is the source of truth; cloud is replication and shared access.
- Keep plugin/adaptor layers thin; real behavior belongs in Go packages.
- Prefer explicit boundaries: store, cloudstore, server, dashboard, autosync.
- New features must fit the existing local-first mental model before they fit the UI.
- Do not hide cross-system coupling inside helpers or templates.
