| description | Use before making meaningful code changes in HOM to load repository architecture, workflow rules, crate boundaries, feature flags, and verification requirements |
Load the repository-specific rules that apply across the HOM workspace.
This is the Codex-compatible form of the important stable guidance from CLAUDE.md.
<when_to_use>
Use this skill for:
- any feature work
- any bugfix
- any refactor
- any architecture review
- any change that crosses crate boundaries
</when_to_use>

Read:
skills/hom-workspace-standards/references/workspace-architecture.md
Then read the relevant domain skill for the part of the codebase you are touching.
</required_reading>
Follow this baseline workflow:
- Inspect the workspace root, relevant crate layout, feature flags, and tests before editing.
- Match existing patterns and prefer the smallest coherent change.
- Keep behavior changes, tests, and docs in the same change.
- Pass dependencies explicitly; do not hardcode ports, paths, URLs, credentials, or feature switches.
- Verify locally before handing off.
<success_criteria>
This skill is being followed correctly when:
- crate boundaries remain intact
- project-specific architecture constraints are preserved
- feature flag boundaries remain clean
- tests and verification match the affected scope
- the change does not quietly bypass existing configuration or runtime wiring
</success_criteria>
