Base

This is the foundational layer that enforces radical simplicity across everything you build. Hard limits on file size (200 lines), function length (20 lines), and nesting depth (2 levels) with immediate refactoring when you hit them. It bakes in TDD workflow where every todo requires test cases written first, then implementation, then validation gates before marking complete. The atomic todos system is detailed, tracking dependencies, test criteria, and execution logs. It's opinionated about functional core with imperative shell, composition over inheritance, and flat module structures. Always loaded, never optional. If you want guardrails that prevent codebases from turning into spaghetti, this is the enforcement layer.
