House rules

How a Tool Earns a Spot

  1. 01

    One clear job

    Every tool does one thing, and we can explain it in a sentence.

  2. 02

    Honest permissions

    If a tool touches Microsoft Graph, it says which permissions it needs. We never assume consent.

  3. 03

    Windows first

    The first supported path is the one we actually run on Windows.
