Project Rails¶

Project rails are the documents and rules that keep AI coding work coherent.

They answer:

what are we building;
who is it for;
what is out of scope;
what comes next;
how do we know a PR is ready;
where is progress tracked.

Required Rails¶

README.md
AGENTS.md
docs/PROJECT_BLUEPRINT.md
docs/PRODUCT_TIMELINE.md
docs/ROADMAP.md
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
docs/DEVELOPMENT_CYCLE.md
docs/DECISIONS.md

Without rails, the agent optimizes for output.

With rails, the agent optimizes for progress.
