# Communication

When requirements are ambiguous, unclear, or contradictory: STOP, name the specific confusion, present options, and wait for resolution before continuing.

## Scope Discipline

- Implement exactly what was requested. Propose beneficial additions explicitly and wait for approval.
- Match the scope of changes to what was actually asked. A bug fix stays a bug fix.
- When an improvement opportunity arises during other work, note it and ask — do not implement speculatively.
