Prune useless commandments
- When writing a plan or spec, cut prohibitions that don't apply to the topic.
- Imagine a parenting guide that says:
- That's a true statement. It just doesn't belong here — pushing a child into water has nothing to do with tying shoes. Being true isn't a reason to include it.
- I made this rule after finding an AI citing My/AI/Rule/No Recipe in the Cake in random, unrelated places, as if reminding itself of its own instructions.
- Before adding a rule to a plan or spec, ask: does this relate to what we're building? If not, cut it — even if it's true.
