    From the README

    Hypervelocity Engineering (HVE) Core is an enterprise-ready prompt engineering framework for GitHub Copilot. Constraint-based AI workflows, validated artifacts, and structured methodologies that scale from solo developers to large teams.

    HVE Core provides specialized agents, reusable prompts, instruction sets, and skills with JSON schema validation. The framework separates AI concerns into distinct artifact types with clear boundaries, preventing runaway behavior through constraint-based design.

    The RPI (Research → Plan → Implement) methodology structures complex engineering tasks into phases where AI knows what it cannot do, changing optimization targets from "plausible code" to "verified truth."
