- Enforces ZERO TOLERANCE file placement rules for documentation and scripts. Use when (1) Creating any .md file, (2) Creating any .sh script, (3) Organizing documentation, (4) Writing guides or reports, (5) Adding utility scripts. CRITICAL RULES - NEVER create .md files in root directories (except README.md, CLAUDE.md), NEVER create .sh scripts in backend (except start.sh), ALL documentation goes in docs/ subfolders, ALL scripts go in scripts/ folder.

ENFORCEMENT WORKFLOW
Before creating ANY .md file or .sh script, you MUST:
- ✅ Check if you're creating it in a root directory
- ✅ If yes, STOP and use the appropriate docs/ or scripts/ subfolder
- ✅ Choose the correct category based on filename patterns above
- ✅ Create in the correct location FIRST TIME, not in root then move later
VIOLATION CONSEQUENCES
Creating documentation in root directories causes:
- Project clutter and disorganization
- Wasted time reorganizing files
- Inconsistent documentation structure
- Developer frustration
- Loss of findability for important docs
THIS IS A ZERO-TOLERANCE RULE. ALWAYS use docs/ or scripts/ subfolders.
