 *** 2026-05-28 Thu @ 08:12:55 -0500 Pearl shipped patterns 4-6, filed alongside the prior two
 Three more pearl handoffs landed and were filed during this audit. Filed: [[file:docs/design/2026-05-28-pattern-catalog-prompt-labels-and-defaults.org][prompt-labels-and-defaults]] (patterns 4-5: label-matches-behavior, default-most-common with friction-proportional-to-consequence) and [[file:docs/design/2026-05-28-pattern-catalog-prompt-collapse.org][prompt-collapse]] (pattern 6: collapse N orthogonal prompts into one enriched prompt). The catalog's evidence base is now four pearl notes in =docs/design/= covering six patterns plus the synthesizing principle Pearl articulated — "choices on screen, accurately labeled, ordered by what the user most often wants, friction sized to the cost of being wrong."
 
+*** VERIFY Review the pattern-catalog spec (5 decisions + 3 open questions)
+One-page spec drafted 2026-06-02: [[file:docs/design/2026-06-02-pattern-catalog-spec.org][2026-06-02-pattern-catalog-spec.org]]. It makes a recommended call on each of the five open design questions — format (one file per pattern with frontmatter), home (a =patterns/= dir in rulesets), surfacing (a thin =claude-rules/patterns.md= pointer, agent-driven), anti-patterns (a field within each pattern), intake (capture-on-landing, promote-on-review) — plus three smaller open questions (directory name, generalize-now-vs-lazily, whether a =/pattern= skill is worth it). Implementation is gated on your review. Pearl is available for spec-review iterations.
