* docs: add context-engineering rightsizing analysis and rolloutCraig Jennings19 hours1-0/+225
I wrote three working documents while reviewing the Claude 5 context-engineering post, the Opus 5 prompting guide, and the Fable field guide against what this repo ships downstream. In proposals.org I measured the always-loaded surface at 32,123 words and ranked six changes, plus two places where a post contradicts something we arrived at deliberately. I also reread the rules as your prompts rather than as agent context, which is where the sharper finding is: 41 execution and hygiene workflows against 6 discovery and design ones, on a system whose bottleneck has moved. In rollout.org I phased the work and named the seven decisions that gate it. My lead finding is that the harness system prompt already carries most of what the Opus 5 guide recommends adding, so the posts' value here is subtractive. Applying them additively would make the duplication worse. In metrics.org I split the posts into separable claims and marked which are testable here and which are judgment calls, rather than inventing a metric for the ones an eval harness would be needed to settle. I also stated the pilot's stop conditions in advance, including a zero-tolerance threshold on the load-bearing rules, so I can't renegotiate that threshold later under pressure to make a phase succeed.
