Governance for Lovable projects
A project that has to keep going needs a memory.
Lovable made it easy to start building. The hard part comes when the product must keep developing without losing control.
This is not a folder of document templates. It is a lightweight governance layer you install in your Lovable project once. After that Lovable keeps it current by reading the right context before a change, recording decisions and rejected options, and verifying that what already worked still works.
You answer ten questions at the start. After that, the idea is that you almost forget the framework is there.

Memory
The project remembers why things look the way they do, which decisions were made, what has already been rejected and which assumptions are in play.
Guardrails
The project knows what must not break, which changes carry risk, which contracts must be respected and when a decision needs you.
Verification
The project checks that existing behaviour still works, that the rules still hold and that a change is actually finished, not merely started.
What happens as a project grows
Eventually the problem is no longer building the next feature. The problem is changing the system without breaking something else, and without forgetting why the system looks the way it does.
A language model that has lost the context does predictable things:
- proposes a solution that was already tried and rejected
- changes behaviour that worked
- implements something that contradicts an earlier decision
- documents the new implementation as if it had always been the intent
- misses consequences elsewhere in the system
What the package does about it
Every kind of change carries a short list of what must be read first and what must be updated afterwards. This covers copy, interface, business logic, data model, authentication, authorization, integrations, payments, performance, bug fixes and releases. The decision register is always read, even for the smallest change. That single line is what stops the loops.
Every part ships from day one, but only the part that is needed gets used. A small project should still feel small. The framework decides when a part becomes relevant, Lovable follows it. You should never have to judge when your project became complex enough.

If you don't need it yet, don't use it
If you're building a prototype, an experiment or something that can be thrown away without consequence, it is usually better to just build.
The framework is for projects that have to keep going: real users, information that matters, sign-in and permissions, integrations, payments, many iterations. Size isn't the point. The cost of forgetting is.
