Central Documentation Rules

Rule #1: Read Central Docs First

BEFORE making any changes or starting work, ALWAYS:

1. Read the Central Documentation README:

   • Location: D:\Dev\repos\mcp-central-docs\README.md
   • This shows all important documentation "branches" (folder trees)
   • Navigate from there to find specific information

2. Follow Documentation Branches:

   • Central docs are organized by topic (Anthropic ecosystem, Google ecosystem, patterns, projects, etc.)
   • Each branch has its own README explaining what's inside
   • Use the branch structure to find relevant docs

3. Check for Existing Patterns:

   • Look in docs/patterns/ for design patterns
   • Check templates/ for reusable templates
   • Review docs/projects/ for similar project examples

4. Avoid Duplication:

   • Search existing docs before creating new ones
   • Update existing docs rather than creating duplicates
   • Reference central docs instead of copying content

Session Context (Filesystem MCP)

You have access to Filesystem MCP: 24 tools for file operations, Docker containers, and system monitoring.

Before starting work:

1. Check system status: monitor_get_system_status(include_processes=False)
2. Explore relevant directories: dir_ops(operation="list_directory", path="D:/Dev/repos")

At end of work, clean up:

• Close long-running containers you started, verify locks with get_lock_status()
• Prefer atomic writes through file_ops(operation="write_file") over raw file APIs
