Philosophy Compliance Workflow

This is a systematic code review workflow that checks whether your implementation actually follows amplihack's core principles: ruthless simplicity, brick philosophy, and Zen minimalism. It walks through a structured five question analysis (Do we need this? What's simplest? Is it a self-contained brick? Can AI rebuild it from spec? Does complexity add value?) and generates a scored report with critical violations, warnings, and specific fix recommendations. Use it before merging, during architecture reviews, or when you suspect complexity creep. The scoring rubric is opinionated but clear, and the "regeneratable by AI" lens is an interesting forcing function for keeping module boundaries clean. Most valuable when you need someone to tell you that your eight-responsibility SessionManager should actually be three separate bricks.
