Gene authoring
When to use
- New product contour needs stable AI instructions (axioms, do/don't).
- ADR has a long-lived decision worth a genetic handle.
Steps
- Copy template from
philosophy/genes/templates/.
- Name file
{{domain}}.{{area}}.{{role}}.gen1.md matching the tag inside.
- Sections: Intent, Axioms, AI instructions, Cross-links.
- Add row to
philosophy/genes/GENE_INDEX.md.
- If gene implies code locations, link from
AI_INDEX.md — do not duplicate hot file lists in the gene.
Do not
- Create
*.gen2 files in starter projects.
- Duplicate entire ADR body in the gene — link ADR instead.
Meta gene
repo.evolution.compression.gen1 — add cluster row if this gene starts a new family.
