Stories

# BCP Title
e32s01 2 Create docs/references/kent-beck.md (XP, TDD origins, Tidy First? tidy vs refactor vs behavior)
e32s02 2 Create docs/references/fowler.md (refactoring catalog, code smells, named refactorings)
e32s03 2 Create docs/references/feathers.md (seams, characterization tests, legacy code definition)
e32s04 2 Create docs/references/pragmatic-programmer.md (DRY, broken windows, tracer bullets)
e32s05 2 Create docs/references/rich-hickey.md (simple vs easy, complecting)
e32s06 2 Create docs/references/sandi-metz.md (SOLID in practice, message-level testing)
e32s07 2 Create docs/references/ddd.md (bounded contexts, context mapping, ubiquitous language)
e32s08 2 Create docs/references/accelerate.md (DORA four keys: deployment frequency, lead time, restore time, change failure rate)
e32s09 2 Update PRINCIPLES.md to credit Beck, Fowler, Feathers, Hunt & Thomas alongside Uncle Bob in layer 1
e32s10 2 Cross-reference new docs from SKILL.md bodies (plan-refactor → fowler, audit-code → fowler smells, investigate-bug → feathers, grill-me → hickey)

What Each Doc Contains

Each reference doc is a provenance pointer — not a restatement of principles. ~10 lines: source, key contributions, why it matters for bigpowers, and where the rules are encoded in CONVENTIONS.md.

Definition of Done

  • 9 new docs in docs/references/
  • PRINCIPLES.md updated to credit all 9 authors
  • At least 4 skills cross-reference the new docs
