# docs-before-code

Before implementation, check whether the repository contains existing decisions relevant to the change.

Prefer to inspect:

- repository instructions,
- README and CONTRIBUTING files,
- architecture documentation,
- ADRs,
- module-specific documentation,
- related issues and pull requests,
- external references linked from code comments.

Do not infer design intent from code alone when:

- the implementation looks unnecessarily strange,
- workaround code exists,
- multiple implementation approaches are plausible,
- compatibility code exists,
- old TODOs or defensive logic exist.

Do not assume an old constraint has disappeared merely because the current implementation looks awkward.
