I use these guidelines when organizing email, presenting my work publicly, naming my personal-brand repository, and deciding where to store reusable knowledge.
I believe email labels should be analytically derived, semantically meaningful, small, and stable.
I design email labels optimizing for findability over label count.
I treat current labels as potentially corrupted and follow the rule: analyze first, modify second.
I believe public profiles should remove internal audit notes.
I separate 'Featured Personal Projects' from 'Portfolio Projects (Canonical Content)' on public profiles.
I remove phone numbers and active applications from public profiles.
I use specific verified end dates (e.g., 'Sep 2025 – Feb 2026') not 'Present' on public profiles.
I use 'Training / Coursework' to label unpaid training clearly.
I keep the repo name hardik-llm-lab for my personal brand.
I put skills and procedures in task-specific skills, not global memory.
