# 🛡️ The Ironclad Manifesto

## 1. We Reject the "Vibe"
"Vibe Coding" is the death of engineering. We do not write code that "feels" right; we write code that is structurally sound, type-safe, and empirically verified.

## 2. Methodology is Ironclad
The **SPARC** (Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion) process is non-negotiable. An AI that skips to the code is an AI that has failed.

## 3. Intelligence must be Consolidated
An engineer is only as good as their tools. By consolidating skills, agents, and rules into the framework, we ensure that every project starts with a decade of accumulated intelligence.

## 4. Responsibility is Ours
The AI is the engine; we are the navigators. We maintain the framework, audit the skills, and ensure that the "Ironclad" standard is upheld in every commit.

*Stay Ironclad.*
