AI.MD v0.1.0

Convert human-written CLAUDE.md into AI-native structured-label format.

What it does

• -53% file size (13,474 → 6,332 bytes)
• -37% line count (224 → 142 lines, within Claude Code's 200-line recommendation)
• Rule compliance 6/8 → 8/8 (tested across 4 LLM models)

Same rules, zero deletions — just restructured for how LLMs actually parse.

10 Techniques

1. One concept per line
2. Explicit trigger/action/exception labels
3. Semantic anchors (labels as hashtags)
4. State-machine gates (if → then → else → priority)
5. XML section isolation
6. Strip all "why" — keep only "what"
7. Bilingual labels (English for AI, native language for human output)
8. Cross-references instead of repetition
9. Not-triggered lists (explicit exclusions)
10. Conflict detection with priority resolution
