description	Rules for modifying the Cognitive Lead AI SOP repository

OpenCode Rules for This Repository

This file defines the rules that AI agents (OpenCode) must follow when modifying this SOP repository.

General Rules

1. All documentation must be written in Markdown (.md). No other formats are permitted.
2. Every stack document must include the following four sections, in this order:
   • Project Structure — Recommended directory layout and file organization.
   • Naming Conventions — File, class, function, variable, and route naming standards.
   • Architectural Patterns — The recommended architecture (e.g., layered, DDD, MVVM) and how to enforce it.
   • Testing Strategies — Unit, integration, and end-to-end test structure, frameworks, and naming.
3. CHANGELOG.md must be updated whenever the system prompt (system-prompt.md) or any stack rule document is modified. Follow the Keep a Changelog format.
4. No code generation outside of documentation. This repository contains SOPs only — do not generate application code.
5. Keep language neutral where possible, but include framework-specific examples when they clarify a rule.
6. All files must be validated to ensure markdown formatting is correct before marking a task complete.

Documentation Sync Rules

When modifying this repository, you must keep these files synchronized:

1. Active task file in tasks/ — agents must read the active task file for context and update it with final status, technical changes, and architectural reasoning upon completion.
2. DESIGN.md — if UI/UX changes are involved, consult and enforce the design spec. Include DESIGN.md updates in the documentation phase.
3. CHANGELOG.md — must be updated whenever system-prompt.md or any structural file is modified.
4. No global state — do not rely on legacy STATE.md or TODO.md files. All work tracking is decentralized to tasks/.
