## ✨ Key Features

### 🎯 Core Principles for AI Agents
| Principle | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| **Context Awareness** | Understand the mounted AI home directory across projects |
| **Communication Protocol** | Use collab/ directory as primary channel |
| **Project Integration** | Respect project-specific rules and workflows |

### ⚙️ Operational Guidelines
- **Repository Management**: Clean structure with conventional commits
- **Documentation Standards**: Date/time headers, revision tracking
- **Workflow Adherence**: Follow question -> proposal -> implementation

### 🧩 LLM Optimization Practices
- **Prompt Engineering**: Clear, structured requests
- **Code Generation**: Consistent with project patterns
- **Error Handling**: Defensive programming approach

---

## 📊 Implementation Guide

### Step 1: Understanding the Framework
1. **Read Project Context** → Always review project-specific documentation first
2. **Respect Existing Rules** → Check collab/rules directory for project-specific guidelines
3. **Integrate with Workflow** → Follow established patterns rather than creating new ones

### Step 2: Following Documentation Standards
- [ ] Include date/time header with timezone
- [ ] Maintain change tracking/revision table
- [ ] Create changelog in source files
- [ ] Apply "make it beautiful" rule to all documentation

### Step 3: Operational Excellence
- [ ] Use atomic commits with conventional commit messages
- [ ] Commit frequently to local repository
- [ ] Avoid git push operations (as per guidelines)
- [ ] Maintain clean top-level directory structure
