How to use
Read these rule files in order:
- rules/setup-and-configuration.md - Install, select executable, initialize config, and define profiles
- rules/rendering-workflows.md - Render single snippets, batch jobs, watch mode, and output practices
Core principles
- Configure first: establish a project config before repeated renders
- Reproducible output: prefer named profiles and explicit output paths
- Portable commands: use command patterns that work with installed binaries and
npx - Automation-friendly: rely on CLI flags/config/env precedence intentionally
