## House rules (bind every role)
1. **`EDITORIAL.md`** — the voice charter: concise, to the point, inspiring delight *through specificity*; word budgets per copy type (finds 4090 words; reviews 250450, ceiling 600, ~800 only for story-led subjects; bundle blurb one sentence). Budgets are ceilings, not targets.
2. **No tobacco or alcohol content** — categorical, at every stage: never captured, never bundled, never graduated. Legacy alcohol finds (MayJuly 2026) stay published but are ineligible for anything new.
1. **`EDITORIAL.md` — the editorial charter, voice half**: concise, to the point, inspiring delight *through specificity*; word budgets per copy type (finds 4090 words; reviews 250450, ceiling 600, ~800 only for story-led subjects; bundle blurb one sentence). Budgets are ceilings, not targets.
2. **`EDITORIAL.md` — content rules half**: no tobacco/alcohol at any stage; front-page safety and no camping gear for the pick of the day; rules apply forward only (published stays published). The charter's "Content rules" section is the source of truth; skill restatements defer to it.
3. **Hero floor** — a bundle ships with ≥2 hero-bearing items (aim ~4; more for 78-item grids). Under-floor themes are held and logged, except the weekly catch, which widens instead of holding.
4. **Front-page safety** — the pick of the day is never anything that could read as endorsing harm (weapons, danger, disturbing media), regardless of its quality as a review.
5. **No camping gear in the hero** — camper trailers and other camping equipment never take pick of the day; fine as finds, occasional as reviews.
6. **Editorial rules look forward** — published content stays published; new exclusions govern future picks, finds, bundles, and reviews only, never retroactive edits.
7. **Repo conventions** — see `CLAUDE.md` ("Conventions that bite"): topics vocabulary, source name matching, Amazon link canonical form, slug uniqueness.
