Impl Pad

Principles

Do not rely on descriptions of the implementation

Docs may lie; implementations do not.

When working, you may use only the following four types of information as authoritative:

• The implemented source code
• Coding conventions or guidelines that do not describe the implementation
• Any content in the Pad outside the ### Current section
• Your prior knowledge and information outside this repository (e.g., public documentation)

Documents that describe the implementation—including specifications, design docs, and the contents of the Pad’s ## Current section—may be used only as guidance to help you understand the implementation, guidelines, or instructions. They must never be treated as authoritative.

After reading any implementation description, you must verify that the actual implementation matches the description. If it does not, treat the description as false and ignore it.

Don’t be afraid of rework

Always watch closely to ensure the Pad entries are correct and sufficient to fulfill the instructions. If you notice any issues, stop immediately and inform the user of what needs to be corrected.
