Why it matters

Developer machines are faster than average user devices. Use browser DevTools to throttle CPU (4x slowdown) and network (Fast 3G) to test how your app performs for users on slower devices and connections.

The rules come from other people's skills and guidelines — Vercel, Rauno Freiberg, @Ibelick, impeccable, Emil Kowalski, Tailwind, RAMS — each one credited on the Sources page. The work here is extraction and wiring: every rule is pulled into one corpus, given a good and a bad example you can operate, a MUST/SHOULD/NEVER rule an agent can paste, and a link back to where it came from.
