ScopeKite

Clean-room development rules

ScopeKite is a clean-room build (ADR-001):

  1. Never open reference source. The reference checkout under references/plane is off-limits to implementation work — tooling, agents, and humans alike. Research against it happens only in a separate planning workspace and returns behavior-level findings, never code.
  2. Public behavior only. Competitor documentation may be cited for behavior patterns (e.g. “side panel with full-page fallback”); implementation, copy, icons, and visual design are always written fresh.
  3. Provenance in PRs. Each slice’s report carries a clean-room verdict; ADRs record any behavior-level references consulted.
  4. Dependencies pass the license gate (pnpm licenses:check); icons are drawn in-repo; no copied assets.

If you are unsure whether looking at something violates the room: don’t look, ask.
