Three Pillars

1. 📋 Consistency - Document Your Standards

Scaffold governance docs that AI agents actually read:

• PATTERNS.md - Code patterns and conventions
• CLAUDE.md - Agent workflow rules (git protocol, scope discipline, human approval gates)
• ARCHITECTURE.md - System design and tech stack
• DOMAIN-LOGIC.md - Business rules and constraints

Result: AI writes code that follows YOUR patterns, not random conventions from its training data.

2. 🔍 Freshness - Detect Staleness

New in v4.0: Git-based staleness detection catches when docs go stale:

cortex-tms validate

⚠️  Doc Staleness
    PATTERNS.md may be outdated
    Doc is 45 days older than code with 12 meaningful commits
    Code: 2026-02-20
    Doc:  2026-01-06

    Review docs/core/PATTERNS.md to ensure it reflects current codebase

How it works: Compares doc modification dates vs code commit activity. Flags stale docs before they mislead AI agents.

Note: Staleness v1 uses git timestamps (temporal comparison only). Cannot detect semantic misalignment. Future versions will add semantic analysis.

3. 🛡️ Safety - Human Oversight

CLAUDE.md governance rules require human approval for critical operations:...
