# Windsurf AI Rules - Cortex Engineering State

> Generated by Cortex Memory System - 2026-01-09

## Context Protocol
Start with `cortex_context("current task summary")` when available. Otherwise read `docs/strategy/PRODUCT_DIRECTION.md` and inspect the repository; never fabricate loaded context.
Save decisions with: cortex_add(content, type)

## Product Boundary
Cortex is a local-first, evidence-backed handoff and project-state layer for coding agents. Do not design generic memory features unless they improve verified task continuation.

## Workflow
EXPLORE → PLAN → CODE → VERIFY → COMMIT

## Coding Standards
- Follow project conventions
- Use descriptive names
- Conventional commits (feat:, fix:, chore:)
- Run tests before committing

## Security
- Never log secrets or PII
- Validate all inputs
- Use environment variables for config

## Extended Thinking
- "think" for simple decisions
- "think hard" for complex logic
- "ultrathink" for architecture decisions
