# Sources

Reference material extracted from specific projects. Study for ideas, don't copy blindly.

These are **descriptive** — they document what a project does and why.
The `patterns/` directory is **prescriptive** — it tells you what to do.

Patterns that prove broadly applicable get promoted from here into `patterns/`.
The rest stays as reference for understanding how mature projects solve specific problems.
