+## Human-Reviewable Changes
+
+- Break every feature into small, coherent changes that a human can review independently.
+- Keep each change focused on one behavior or decision; do not mix unrelated refactors,
+  formatting churn, dependency updates, or cleanup into a feature change.
+- Keep the project buildable and its relevant tests passing after each change whenever
+  practical. Add or update focused tests alongside the behavior they verify.
+- Present generated files together with the source API or marker change that produced them,
+  and call out generated diffs explicitly instead of treating them as separate design work.
+- Prefer a sequence of narrow vertical slices over one large implementation. Summarize the
+  intent, observable behavior, and verification for each slice so a human can review it
+  before the next slice grows on top of it.
+- A pull request may contain multiple small commits. Align each commit with one coherent,
+  independently reviewable change.
+- When a change reaches a suitable commit boundary, ask the user whether to create the
+  commit before committing it. Do not accumulate unrelated completed changes merely to
+  reduce the number of commits.
+- Always stop and ask the user before opening or submitting a pull request. Approval to
+  create commits or push a branch does not imply approval to create a pull request.
