Rule Content Guidelines:

• Start with high-level overview
• Include specific, actionable requirements
• Show examples of correct implementation
• Reference existing code when possible
• Keep rules DRY by referencing other rules

Rule Maintenance:

• Update rules when new patterns emerge
• Add examples from actual codebase
• Remove outdated patterns
• Cross-reference related rules

Best Practices:

• Use bullet points for clarity
• Keep descriptions concise
• Include both DO and DON'T examples

• Use consistent formatting across rules
