Core Rules

1. Always use generators - Never manually create resources, packages, or portals
2. Check relevant skills first - Each concept has a dedicated skill with details

rails g pu:res:conn Post --dest=admin_portal                 # Connect to portal
rails g pu:pkg:package blogging                              # Create feature package
