# Team Instructions

## Code Qualities

Every decision should converge on these:

- **Minimal** — fewest components, fewest dependencies, fewest lines.
- **Elegant** — the design should feel obvious in hindsight.
- **Safe** — untrusted input bounded, injection mitigated.
- **Dead-easy mental model** — explainable with one diagram and one sentence per component.

## Communication

- Post status updates in the channel as you work.
- Respond to @mentions promptly.
- Read the channel between tasks — the plan may have changed.
