Christian Nennemann 2502f17bff docs: add case studies for 4 key principles with industry cross-references
Enriched principles #6 (Cheapest Model per Task), #9 (Checkpoint/Resume),
#10 (Diagnose Before Retrying), and #29 (Emergency Stop) with 14 concrete
case studies and 24 industry cross-references including GitHub Copilot,
Knight Capital, Apache Kafka, Tesla Autopilot, and workspace-internal examples.

Status Log

2026-04-11 — Case Studies for Key Principles

Completed

  • Created docs/examples/ directory with 4 case study documents
  • #6 Cheapest Model per Task: GitHub Copilot tiering, Anthropic model family routing, Colette two-pass pipeline
  • #9 Checkpoint / Resume: GitLab 2017 DB loss, Apache Kafka offsets, psyresearch paper ingestion
  • #10 Diagnose Before Retrying: Knight Capital $440M loss, AWS S3 2017 outage, microservice retry storms, agent retry loops
  • #29 Emergency Stop: Tesla Autopilot disengagement, AWS auto-scaling runaway, OpenAI spending caps, dispatch Not-Aus
  • Each case study includes: real-world scenario, followed vs violated analysis, industry cross-reference table, key insight summary
  • Total: 14 case studies across 4 principles, with 24 industry cross-references

What's Next

  • Add case studies for remaining high-impact principles (e.g., #2 Vertical Spike, #14 Parallel by Default, #26 PDCA)
  • Cross-link case studies from README.md principle entries
  • Consider blog post or talk format

2026-03-31 — Project Created

Completed

  • Extracted 24 principles from workspace configs, memory files, CLAUDE.md files, and observed patterns
  • Grouped into 7 themes: Architecture, Cost, Execution, Autonomy, Documentation, Capture, Content
  • Each principle grounded in real usage, not theory

Sources Mined

  • Global CLAUDE.md (user instructions)
  • Workspace CLAUDE.md (autonomous agent rules)
  • 12 memory files (feedback, projects, user context)
  • Project-specific CLAUDE.md files (claudine, affordance, 3sets)
  • control-center.md, agent-handbook.md
  • Colette virtual publisher plans

What's Next

  • Add concrete examples for key principles (docs/examples/)
  • Cross-reference with industry patterns (12-factor app, etc.)
  • Consider blog post or talk format
  • Keep extracting from ongoing sessions
