# Personalisation

User preferences that govern how Genesis behaves and what it generates.
This file is preserved across Genesis updates. Edit it at any time.

## Language and Locale

- **Locale:** Australian English (colour, behaviour, organisation, initialise, licence, defence, analyse, catalogue)
- **Em dashes:** Never use em dashes. Use commas, semicolons, colons, or full stops instead.

## Output Style

- **Verbosity:** Terse and direct. Reasoning only when it adds value.
- **Interaction style:** Collaborative. Brief reasoning for non-obvious choices, explain trade-offs, but don't over-explain.

## User Profile

- **Role:** <your role, e.g. Tech lead, Senior developer, Student>
- **Experience:** <your experience level and languages>
- **Testing:** Tests are mandatory, no exceptions
- **Documentation:** Structured docs (README + architecture.md) in every project

## Generated Project Defaults

These defaults are seeded into every generated project's memory and CLAUDE.md:

- **Commit style:** Contextual. Conventional Commits for libraries/services, plain imperative for scripts/tools.
- **Error handling:** Fail fast and loud. Explicit error handling, no silent swallowing.
- **Code standards:** OWASP top 10 awareness, clean code (no god classes, max 3 nesting levels, max 40 line functions), DRY/SOLID.
