Turning guidance into a local check is key; agents can ignore prose, not a failing analyzer.

Matches what I kept measuring with my own agent rules: prose guidance competes for attention with everything else in the context, so a new rule can dilute the ones already not holding. I had one violated three minutes after writing it. A static gate that fails the build doesn't compete.

turning the book into a local analyser with an mcp server is the right escalation. agent skills are documentation, an mcp server is capability. big difference.
