Enterprise Practical Rules

Based on the three‑layer architecture, core rule files are defined; the directory structure is illustrated below.

With growing AI model capabilities and token‑based pricing, rule simplicity and efficiency become increasingly important. Users are encouraged to adapt the MSEC theory to their own projects and iterate the rules continuously to achieve significant productivity gains.
