Project Contract

Every client AI workspace owns its client context. Keep the project root small, explicit, and safe to open directly in VS Code.

Project-owned material

• client name and project scope
• confirmed business rules and decisions
• tickets, project notes, and approved analysis
• sanitized parsed DDR
• FileMaker work scripts and project-specific prompts
• the location and environment names of raw DDR exports

Core-owned material

• generic FileMaker analysis and scripting workflow
• reusable prompts and templates
• generic DDR handling and secret-safety guidance
• client-neutral helper scripts

Instruction precedence

When guidance conflicts, preserve project evidence and confirmed client decisions. A project may opt into an additional organization-specific standard without applying it to other clients.
