ASecurityCompact coding-discipline overlay for Hermes based on Karpathy-inspired guidelines: think before coding, simplicity first, surgical changes, and goal-driven verification. Use when doing non-trivial code edits, reviews, refactors, or debugging where overengineering, hidden assumptions, or diff sprawl are risks.

# Karpathy Coding Discipline
适用:
- 非平凡代码改动
- bugfix
- refactor
- review 前自检
- repo intake 后想吸收 coding discipline,而非安装 runtime
## 四原则
### 1. Think Before Coding
- 先显式假设
- 有歧义则列解释,不要静默选一条
- 若更简单路径存在,要指出
- 若关键前提不明,停下查明
### 2. Simplicity First
- 只写完成任务所需最小代码
- 不预埋未来配置层
- 不为单次使用做抽象
- 若 200 行可成 50 行,重写
### 3. Surgical Changes
- 只改请求直接命中的面
- 不顺手美化邻近代码
- 不删与任务无关的旧代码
- 只清理由自己改动造成的 orphan
### 4. Goal-Driven Execution
- 把任务转成可验证目标
- bug -> 先造复现 / 验证,再修
- refactor -> 前后验证不变
- feature -> 定义成功标准与检查方式
## Hermes 化约束
- 默认吸收为行为 discipline,不必安装任何插件或外部 skill runtime
- 更适合并入 repo 局部 `AGENTS.md` / `CLAUDE.md` / docs 约束
- 若项目已有更强本地规则,以项目规则优先
## 最适合的吸收方式
1. repo 文档追加短规则
2. 作为 review checklist
3. 作为实现前自检模板
4. 作为 plan/verify 提示模板
## 不建议
- 不要把它扩成长篇流程官僚文档
- 不要在简单一行改动上过度套流程
- 不要把“谨慎”变成“停滞”
