# Repo guide

This repo is a small product, not a platform rewrite.

## How to take a task
1. Restate the ask in two sentences.
2. List the files you expect to touch. Stop if the list is more than six.
3. Ask before adding a dependency.

## Rules
- Do not invent users, testimonials, or activity.
- Do not print secrets, tokens, or `.env` values.
- Do not add a leaderboard, rank, or score between people.
- Prefer the existing component, token, and test patterns.
- After edits, run the focused test for the file you changed.

## When you finish
Write: what changed, what you did not change, and one check the person can run.
