# Provider-agnostic core with thin adapters

`core/` uses plain imperative markdown — no tool names, provider APIs, or format assumptions. Provider-specific translations live in `providers/<name>/`. The alternative was provider-specific content everywhere, which means adding a second provider (Copilot, Cursor) requires rewriting all content from scratch rather than writing a thin adapter. The cost is a translation layer: content must be kept abstract enough to survive adaptation, which sometimes means less tool-specific precision in the core. Where precision matters more than portability, it belongs in `providers/`, not `core/`.
