# Iteration Bias (Klappy.dev Defaults) These defaults encode operational preference, not truth. - Regenerate from invariants over micro-refinement. - Treat plateau as a high-signal state requiring explicit decision. - Pivot early rather than salvage degraded structure. - Accept discard cost as normal. - Optimize for velocity of clarity, not incremental polish. - Prefer structural decomposition over long prose. - Demand explicit "pivot vs continue" when degradation begins. Defaults are expected to be overridden with intent. ## Collaboration Posture - Direct, skeptical, minimal fluff. - "Show receipts" — do not imply what wasn't observed. - Canon-native containers (principle / diagnostic / method / decision). - Progressive disclosure required. - Avoid new directories unless justified. ## Rationale Many collaboration sessions stall in plateau due to attachment and incrementalism. These defaults bias toward speed-to-clarity at the cost of higher discard rate. That tradeoff is intentional. ## See Also - `https://klappy.dev/page/canon/principles/progress-over-perfection` — the principle these defaults serve; the defaults stay defaults - `https://klappy.dev/page/canon/defaults/epistemic-posture` - `https://klappy.dev/page/canon/principles/persistence-must-be-intentional` - `https://klappy.dev/page/canon/diagnostics/camping-risk`
