What problem does it solve?
Dedalus philosophy on conditional logic, error paths, and why we never write fallbacks. Use when writing or reviewing any branching logic that selects between strategies, modes, or error-recovery paths.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Enforces explicit case matching in multi-branch logic to prevent silent fallbacks.
- Guides code reviews and refactors to replace default or else fallbacks with named, justified branches.
- Supports design discussions and testing strategies by requiring per-branch reasoning and tests.
Quick Start
Rewrite a conditional with a default fallback into explicit named cases with a test.
