## Usage Guidelines
1. **Always-On Rules**: Start with `meta_core_always_on.mdc` for every
single prompt
2. **Core Rules**: Always apply rules from `core/` directory
3. **Context-Specific**: Use rules from appropriate subdirectories based on
your task
4. **Meta-Rules**: Use workflow-specific meta-rules for specialized tasks
- **Documentation**: Use `meta_documentation.mdc` for all documentation work
- **Getting Started**: See `docs/meta_rule_usage_guide.md` for comprehensive usage instructions
5. **Cross-References**: All files contain updated cross-references to
reflect the new structure
6. **Validation**: All files pass markdown validation and maintain
consistent formatting
## Benefits of New Organization
1. **Logical grouping** - Related rules are now co-located
2. **Easier navigation** - Developers can quickly find relevant rules
3. **Better maintainability** - Clear separation of concerns
4. **Scalable structure** - Easy to add new rules in appropriate categories
5. **Consistent cross-references** - All file links updated and working
6. **Workflow bundling** - Meta-rules provide high-level workflow guidance
7. **Feedback integration** - Built-in feedback mechanisms for continuous improvement
8. **Educational focus** - Documentation emphasizes human competence over technical description
## File Naming Convention
- **Lowercase with underscores**: `file_name.mdc`
- **Descriptive names**: Names clearly indicate the rule's purpose
- **Consistent extensions**: All files use `.mdc` extension
## Maintenance
- **Cross-references**: Update when moving files between directories
- **Markdown validation**: Run `npm run markdown:check` after any changes
- **Organization**: Keep related rules in appropriate subdirectories
- **Documentation**: Update this README when adding new rules or directories
