# GEMINI.md — Ironclad Master Framework (Universal Synthesis)

This repository is governed by the **Ironclad Master Framework**, a high-performance shell synthesized from the world's most elite AI engineering workflows (ECC, Karpathy, Matt Pocock, Superpowers, Claude Plugins, Agent-Browser, Understand-Anything).

## 🏛️ The God-Tier Operational Loop (MANDATORY)

Every task MUST progress through these five phases. Confirm the active phase in your response.

1. **Understand**: Use `Understand-Anything` to map architectural dependencies and data flows.
2. **Plan**: Use `superpowers:writing-plans` to create a strategic SPARC Specification.
3. **Delegate**: Use `ECC` Swarm mechanics to spawn specialized parallel agents.
4. **Implement**: Apply `claude-plugins:frontend-design` standards and `karpathy-guidelines`.
5. **Verify**: Use `agent-browser` for visual QA and `verification-quality` for threshold checks.

## 🛡️ Core Mandates

### 1. The Karpathy Mandate: "Simplicity First"
- **Thinking**: State assumptions explicitly. Push back on complexity.
- **Action**: Surgical changes only. If 200 lines can be 50, rewrite it. No speculative features.

### 2. The Pocock Mandate: "Deep Architecture"
- **Shared Language**: Reference `CONTEXT.md` for ubiquitous jargon.
- **Feedback Loops**: Red-Green-Refactor is mandatory. Use the `tdd` skill.

### 3. The ECC Mandate: "Enterprise Governance"
- **Orchestration**: Consult `SKILL_ROUTER.md` before every response.
- **Learning**: Use `make upgrade` to distill patterns into framework intelligence.

## 🔌 Gemini CLI Platform Bindings
- **Invoke Skills**: `activate_skill("skill-name")`
- **Spawn Agents**: Use `@generalist` with SPARC prompt templates.
- **Task Tracking**: `tracker_create_task` for rich management.
