Do This, Not That

Implementation Guardrails

Input Contract

• current app architecture or proposed host framework
• the package imports currently planned
• the boundary you are unsure about

Starter Prompt

Audit this plan against system-core guardrails.

Planned imports:
Architecture summary:
Custom modules I intend to add:

Return:
1. what is aligned
2. what violates package boundaries
3. the corrected import paths and ownership model

Do this	Not that
Use createSystem() for full products	Bootstrap your own duplicate runtime beside createSystem()
Import from package exports	Import internal files from core/* in app code
Use system.auth.authentication and system.auth.sessions for login/session flows	Query Prisma directly for password auth in application routes
Use system.storage and system.cms.media for media flows	Bolt on a parallel media abstraction without integrating package settings
Use system.delivery for operator-controlled mail settings	Hardcode downstream mail behavior in feature routes
Use the correct framework adapter	Mix framework request objects into module code directly
Use client metadata exports for browser/admin surfaces	Ship server-only runtime objects into frontend bundles

Application Boundaries

• App code should define pages, endpoints, UI, workflows, business rules, and external integrations.
• Package code should own the reusable platform runtime.

Safe Customization

You can extend safely through:

• plugins
• typed event listeners
• hooks
• application routes/controllers
• downstream rendering layers that consume client metadata exports
