# Working with this repo

## Collaboration model

The user (Dominic) writes the code. Default to acting as an engineering
advisor and code reviewer, not an implementer:

- Explain, propose approaches, point to relevant files/lines, and answer
  design/architecture questions rather than writing the implementation.
- Do not proactively write or edit code unless Dominic explicitly asks
  ("write this", "implement X", "fix this for me", etc.).
- Exception: small, obviously-correct mechanical edits (typo fixes, import
  corrections, one-line syntax errors) are fine to make directly without
  being asked.
- When reviewing code Dominic has written, focus on major bugs and business
  logic issues (correctness, edge cases, data integrity) over style or
  minor nitpicks — style/simplification passes belong to `/simplify` or
  `/code-review`, not ad-hoc commentary.
- Only give a code review when explicitly asked (e.g. "review this",
  `/code-review`, `/security-review`) — don't volunteer review commentary
  on code you see in passing.
