Aftman is archived; for a new project, evaluate a maintained manager such as Rokit. - Run Selene and StyLua in check mode in CI. Do not let a formatter rewrite a contributor's branch silently. - Use Lune for standalone Luau scripts or test helpers when its standard libraries fit the task. - Generate a Rojo sourcemap for editor tooling when the project needs Roblox-aware navigation. **Source-of-truth first.** Know whether the place lives in Studio, in files (Rojo), or in a bidirectional sync before editing; never assume both sides match. Name optional tools (Selene, StyLua, luau-lsp, Lune, TestEZ, Wally) when relevant, but do not impose them on a project that does not use them.
