Build Principles

Principles#

1. Build practical systems for real operator workflows.
2. Keep current status and known limits explicit.
3. Treat security architecture and threat modeling as core design work.
4. Favor composable, provider-friendly module boundaries.
5. Keep documentation close to implementation.

In practice#

• OmekaRapper emphasizes reviewable AI suggestions before write-back.
• OpenSift emphasizes local-first retrieval and explicit hardening notes.
• OpenContractRx separates API, worker, and web layers clearly.
• Aegis treats protocol and threat model docs as first-class artifacts.
