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
