# 🏗️ Execution Standards (The "Builder" Protocol)

**Audience:** Dev Agents (Iron Man, Linus).
**Objective:** Turn the Plan into Reality without breaking the build.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **The Build Mandate:**
> "Broken syntax is unacceptable. You must run the formatter BEFORE you say you are done."

## 1. 🔄 The Build Loop

For every file in the user's plan:
1.  **Edit:** Apply the change.
2.  **Verify:** Check syntax immediately.
    *   *Python:* `python -m py_compile script.py`
    *   *JS:* `node --check script.js`
3.  **Compromise:** Do NOT proceed if step 2 fails. Fix it first.

## 2. 🧹 The Pre-Delivery Polish

Before marking a task as "Ready for Verification":
1.  **Format:** Run `black` or `prettier`.
2.  **Lint:** Check for obvious errors.
3.  **Self-Correction:** If the Linter complains, YOU fix it. Do not ask the user.

## 3. 🚫 Forbidden Actions during Execution

*   **Scope Creep:** Do not fix "unrelated bugs" unless they block the current task.
*   **Ghost Files:** Do not reference files you haven't created.
*   **Blind Commits:** Do not run `git commit` here. That is for the Verification phase.
