README

Excerpt

bcc-clean-cut

Job: ship the shortest correct code that satisfies the active PLAN.md, then verify and progress-only 约减 the checklist.

Deep source: ponytail SKILL.md (coding ladder only — not review/audit family).
Does not: interview the user for domain design, write ADRs, adversarial-review the plan, or refine PLAN design while coding — do that in bcc-plan-spar first.

Workflow preflight (required — before any code edit)

Do not write product code until this check passes.
If uncertain → ask the user (one question + recommended default). Never invent APPROVE.
