+**1. Choose a lane — first matching rule wins:**
+
+1. Any of: needs design judgment · new file/module · public-API change ·
+   cross-cutting or multi-file · non-trivial test design → **Full** (design template)
+2. Purely mechanical: typo · dep bump · linter/formatter/CI tweak ·
+   mechanical rename · single-line config → **Tiny** (no change file, conventional
+   commit)
+3. Small-but-real, none of the above: ≲30 LOC net · ≤2 files · no new file ·
+   no public-API change · one straightforward test → **Lightweight** (change template)
+
+Ambiguous between two? Take the heavier. A lightweight change file that outgrows its lane is rewritten from the design template.
+
+**2. Create the change file** (Full / Lightweight only):
+`planning/changes/YYYY-MM-DD.NN-<slug>.md`, where `.NN` is a zero-padded
+intra-day counter — copied from the matching template (design or change) in
+[`_templates/`](_templates/).
+
+**3. Ship in the implementing PR:** hand-edit the affected
+`architecture/<capability>.md`, finalize the change file's `summary:` to the
+realized result, and run `just check-planning` before pushing.

 ### Two axes, never mixed

 A change **promotes** its conclusions into the affected
 `architecture/<capability>.md` by hand **in the implementing PR, alongside the
 code** — the edit rides in the same diff and is reviewed with it, never applied
 as a separate post-merge step. That hand-edit is what keeps `architecture/`
-true; the bundle stays in `changes/` as the *why*.

+
+### Glossary
+
+`architecture/glossary.md` is the project's **ubiquitous language** — one page
+defining the domain terms that code, specs, and capability pages all share. Like
+the capability files beside it, it is living prose with **no frontmatter**, dated
+by git, and authored lazily: it appears when the first term is worth pinning down.
+
+Each entry is a term, a one-or-two-sentence definition of what it *is* (not what
+it does), and an optional `_Avoid_:` line naming the synonyms to reject:
 
-### Change bundles
+```md
+**Timer**:
+A scheduled future delivery, identified by a timer id.
+_Avoid_: job, task, alarm
+```
 
-A change is a folder `changes/YYYY-MM-DD.NN-<slug>/`:
+Keep it a glossary, not a spec — no implementation detail. A change that
+introduces or sharpens a term updates `glossary.md` in the same PR, the same way
+a behavior change promotes into a capability file.
+
+### Change files
+
+A change is a file `changes/YYYY-MM-DD.NN-<slug>.md`:
 
 - `YYYY-MM-DD` — proposal date; `.NN` — zero-padded intra-day counter
   (`.01`, `.02`, …) that breaks same-date ties so the timeline sorts stably.

+
+### Plans are ephemeral
+
+The executable plan — task checklists, embedded code, commit sequences,
+whatever the executor needs — is a working artifact, not history. Keep it out
+of `changes/` and out of version control (git-ignored scratch, e.g.
+`.superpowers/`). Once the change ships, the diff and the PR are the record
+of execution; a committed plan duplicates them. `check-planning` rejects
+anything in `changes/` that is not a flat change file.
+
+### Lean specs
+
+The change file is the single home of a change's rationale:
+
+- The PR body summarizes and links to the change file — it never restates it.
+- Rejected alternatives live in `decisions/` and are referenced, not retold.
+- Show a sketch when the design needs code; never the full diff-to-be.
+- Delete template sections that don't apply — an empty section is ceremony.
+- Most designs fit well under ~700 words; length must buy information.
 
 ### Artifacts at a glance
 
-- **`design.md`** — the spec: the *thinking* (why, design, trade-offs, scope).
-- **`plan.md`** — the plan: the *sequencing* (the executor's task checklist).
-- **`change.md`** — both, condensed, for the lightweight lane.
-- **`decisions/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md`** — one file per design decision taken
-  (especially options *rejected*), each with a revisit trigger, so reviews don't
-  re-litigate them; listed by `just index`.
+- **design template** — the spec: the *thinking* (why, design, trade-offs,
+  scope); the change file it produces is the single home of rationale (see

+- **change template** — the condensed spec for the lightweight lane.
 - **`releases/<semver>.md`** — per-release user-facing notes.
 - **`audits/<date>-<slug>.md`** — findings from a code/docs/bug-hunt sweep;
   spawns fix changes.
 - **`retros/<date>-<slug>.md`** — what we learned after a body of work.
 - **`deferred.md`** — real-but-unscheduled items, each with a revisit trigger.

+  (especially options *rejected*), each with a revisit trigger; listed by
