Principlev1
Document tool configurations immediately upon creation with
Document tool configurations immediately upon creation with both the specific setting and the reasoning behind it, as a single artifact, to prevent drift between implementation and explanation.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Exponential Information Decay (exponential memory decay) and Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild (memory is reconstructive, not reproductive). The 'why' context degrades faster than the 'what' setting, and reconstruction is unreliable. Literate programming principle applied to personal configs.
