+# Wolf Principles Index
+
+**Quick reference for Wolf's 10 core principles.** For detailed implementation guidance, examples, and conflict resolution, use the Skill tool to load `wolf-principles` SKILL.md.
+
+## The 10 Core Principles
+
+1. **Artifact-First Development**
+   All work produces durable, verifiable artifacts (PRs, ADRs, journals), not ephemeral conversations.
+
+2. **Role Isolation and Separation of Concerns**
+   Each agent role has clearly defined responsibilities with minimal overlap and strict boundaries.
+
+3. **Research-Before-Code**
+   All implementation must be preceded by structured research and evidence-based recommendations.
+
+4. **Advisory-First Enforcement**
+   New policies are tested in advisory mode (shadow) before becoming hard gates.
+
+5. **Evidence-Based Decision Making**
+   All decisions must be supported by concrete evidence and measurable outcomes.
+
+6. **Self-Improving Systems**
+   The system continuously learns from operations and evolves based on evidence.
+
+7. **Multi-Provider Resilience**
+   Operate reliably across multiple AI providers with graceful fallback.
+
+8. **GitHub-Native Integration**
+   Leverage GitHub primitives (Apps, Actions, Issues) to minimize custom infrastructure.
+
+9. **Incremental Value Delivery**
+   Work broken into small increments (2-8h) that are independently valuable and deployable.
+
+10. **Transparent Governance**
+    All decisions, processes, and constraints are openly documented and auditable.
+

+
+## When Principles Conflict
+
+**Priority Order:**
+1. Security and Safety (Principles 2, 7)
+2. Evidence and Quality (Principles 3, 5, 6)
+3. Operational Efficiency (Principles 1, 8, 9)
+4. Governance and Compliance (Principles 4, 10)
+
+---
+
+## Quick Application Guide
+
+- **Making decisions?** → Use Principles 3, 5 (Research-First, Evidence-Based)
+- **Designing architecture?** → Use Principles 1, 2, 7 (Artifacts, Isolation, Resilience)
+- **Implementing features?** → Use Principles 3, 9 (Research-First, Incremental)
+- **Enforcing policies?** → Use Principles 4, 10 (Advisory-First, Transparent)
+- **Building automation?** → Use Principles 6, 8 (Self-Improving, GitHub-Native)
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**REQUIRED**: Load detailed guidance when needed
+- Use Skill tool to load `wolf-principles` for:
+  - Detailed implementation guidance
+  - Example applications for each principle
+  - Conflict resolution patterns
+  - Integration with other Wolf skills
+
+**Sequential Skill Chain:**
+1. ✅ **Principles** (you are here)
+2. → Load `wolf-archetypes` to determine work type
+3. → Load `wolf-governance` to understand quality gates
+4. → Load `wolf-roles` for role-specific guidance
