The 13 founding ADRs in Blue's voice:
1. Purpose - make work meaningful, workers present
2. Presence - actually being here
3. Home - you are never lost
4. Evidence - show, don't tell
5. Single Source - one truth, one location
6. Relationships - connections matter
7. Integrity - whole in structure and principle
8. Honor - say what you do, do what you say
9. Courage - act rightly, even afraid
10. No Dead Code - delete boldly
11. Freedom Through Constraint - riverbed enables river
12. Faith - act on justified belief
13. Overflow - build from fullness

From Coherence

💙 inherited from Coherence:

The Invisible Knowledge Layer

  • MCP server that speaks without verbose instructions
  • Context delivered through response, not configuration
  • Zero CLAUDE.md requirement

The SQLite Document Store

  • WAL mode for concurrent access
  • FTS5 for full-text search
  • Single source of truth

The Workflow Tools

  • RFC → Plan → Implement → PR
  • Worktree isolation for parallel development
  • Session activity tracking

The Practical Patterns

  • PRD before RFC (requirements before solutions)
  • Plans with checkboxes (trackable progress)
  • Playwright-assisted verification

What We Kept

Everything that worked.

What We Left

The separation between tooling and philosophy. That was always false.
