First Principles

Activate when: user says 'from first principles,' 'from scratch,' 'why do we even believe this,' 'tear this apart,' or 'the conventional answer seems wrong'; a decision is justified mainly by 'that's how it's done' or 'best practice says'; the conventional answer is expensive or hard to reverse and the user wants to pressure-test it. Do NOT activate when: the decision is routine and reversible (which linter, which date library) where convention is cheap and fine; the user has asked to just ship the conventional answer at speed.
