Build rules

Under App Blueprint → Build Rules, GenieForge stores lasting conventions for how the AI should build your app (naming, UX preferences, domain constraints). They apply across Build conversations and travel with the app on export. Paste rules in plain language, or ask Build to record them when you are tired of repeating the same preference. Use rules for defaults you want every time, not one-off instructions in a single chat. Specific beats vague (“store ownership with immutable user ids” beats “be secure”). Example constraints people often keep as rules:

Always store ownership using immutable user IDs, never email addresses.
Never expose financial or private fields to the client role.
Use background tasks for imports or jobs that may take more than a few seconds.
Preserve the existing navigation style unless I explicitly ask to change it.
Ask before deleting a table or renaming a widely used capability.

How to verify

Open App Blueprint → Build Rules and confirm the text.
Start a new Build turn that might violate a rule; the plan should surface conflicts when the prompt fights a rule.
Override deliberately for one change when you mean it, then decide whether to update the rule.

Limits and notes

Build Rules are	Build Rules are not
Guidance for how GenieForge assembles the blueprint	A substitute for roles and Access at runtime
Exported with the app	App Documentation (docs remember decisions; rules constrain building)
Plain-language product constraints	Project data, secrets, or Chat/portal persona. Agent instructions live on Agents; load those in Build when you want Chat to behave differently

Treat rules as the default. When a prompt conflicts, choose consciously.
