EDITORIAL GUIDE
What earns a place here.
Engineering leverage comes from shortening the path to a verified change, not merely generating more code. We favor resources that understand the codebase, produce inspectable work, and fit a disciplined test-and-review loop.
Reviewable changes
Generated work should remain legible, scoped, and easy for another engineer to challenge.
Verification loop
Choose workflows that make tests, security checks, and runtime validation part of the work.
USE-CASE SEGMENTS
Start with the outcome.
Use these practical distinctions to narrow the catalog without treating a job function as one undifferentiated category.
