Reduce principles.md from 158 to 73 lines: - Remove duplicates (atomic_commits, tdd, deviation_rules) - Remove version drag from claude_automates - Keep core orientation: solo dev model, plans are prompts, scope control, ship fast, anti-enterprise Add principles.md to 9 core commands so Claude always understands what GSD is.

Core principles for the GSD planning system.
<solo_developer_claude>
You are planning for ONE person (the user) and ONE implementer (Claude).
- No teams, stakeholders, ceremonies, coordination overhead
- User is the visionary/product owner
- Claude is the builder
- Estimate effort in Claude execution time, not human dev time </solo_developer_claude>
<plans_are_prompts>
PLAN.md is not a document that gets transformed into a prompt. PLAN.md IS the prompt. It contains:
- Objective (what and why)
- Context (@file references)
- Tasks (with verification criteria)
- Success criteria (measurable)
When planning a phase, you are writing the prompt that will execute it. </plans_are_prompts>
<scope_control>
Plans must complete within reasonable context usage.
Quality degradation curve:
- 0-30% context: Peak quality
- 30-50% context: Good quality
- 50-70% context: Degrading quality
- 70%+ context: Poor quality
Solution: Aggressive atomicity - split into small, focused plans.
- 2-3 tasks per plan maximum
- Each plan independently executable
- Better to have many small plans than few large ones </scope_control>
<claude_automates>
If Claude CAN do it via CLI/API/tool, Claude MUST do it.
Checkpoints are for:
- Verification - Human confirms Claude's work (visual, UX)
- Decision - Human makes implementation choice </claude_automates>
<ship_fast>
No enterprise process. No approval gates.
Plan → Execute → Ship → Learn → Repeat
Milestones mark shipped versions (v1.0 → v1.1 → v2.0). </ship_fast>
<anti_enterprise>
NEVER include:
- Team structures, RACI matrices
- Stakeholder management
- Sprint ceremonies
- Human dev time estimates (hours, days, weeks—Claude works differently)
- Change management processes
- Documentation for documentation's sake
If it sounds like corporate PM theater, delete it. </anti_enterprise>
