+# AI Software Architect Configuration
+# This file controls operational modes and behavior of the architectural review framework
+
+# ==============================================================================
+# PRAGMATIC GUARD MODE
+# ==============================================================================
+# The Pragmatic Guard Mode adds a specialized "Pragmatic Enforcer" architect
+# who actively challenges complexity, questions abstractions, and pushes for
+# the simplest solutions that meet current requirements.
+#
+# Enable this mode to guard against over-engineering and ensure YAGNI
+# (You Aren't Gonna Need It) principles are applied rigorously.
+
+pragmatic_mode:
+  # Enable or disable Pragmatic Guard Mode
+  # Default: false (opt-in feature)
+  enabled: true
+
+  # Intensity level controls how aggressively the Pragmatic Enforcer challenges
+  # complexity and pushes for simplicity
+  #
+  # - strict: Challenges aggressively, requires strong justification for any complexity
+  #           Questions every "should" and "could", pushes for absolute minimal implementation
+  #
+  # - balanced: Challenges thoughtfully, accepts justified complexity (RECOMMENDED)
+  #             Seeks middle ground between simplicity and best practices
+  #             Questions "should" but accepts reasonable "must"
+  #
+  # - lenient: Raises concerns without blocking, suggests simpler alternatives as options
+  #            Focuses on major complexity additions only
+  #            Questions significant departures from simplicity
+  #
+  # Default: balanced
+  intensity: balanced

+
+  # Exemptions: Areas where strict best practices should be maintained
+  # regardless of pragmatic mode intensity. The Pragmatic Enforcer will
+  # still participate but will not challenge security/compliance requirements.
+  exemptions:
+    # Never compromise on security-critical features

+
+  # Triggers: Situations that activate pragmatic analysis and challenges
+  # Disable specific triggers if you want to skip analysis for those cases

+
+    # Challenge when introducing new architectural patterns
+    # Examples: repository pattern, strategy pattern, observer pattern

+    # Challenge when expanding scope beyond initial requirements
+    # Examples: adding "nice to have" features, building for imagined future needs
+    scope_expansion: true
+
+    # Challenge performance optimizations without evidence of problems
+    # Examples: caching layers, database indexes, query optimization
+    performance_optimization: true

+    test_infrastructure: true
+
+    # Challenge adding flexibility or configurability
+    # Examples: feature flags, plugin systems, configuration frameworks
+    flexibility_addition: true
+
+  # Thresholds: Numerical values that help determine when to challenge
+  thresholds:
+    # Minimum complexity score to trigger a challenge (0-10)
+    # Complexity is assessed by: abstraction layers, file count, dependencies, LOC
+    # Default: 5 (challenge moderate to high complexity)
+    min_complexity_score: 5
+
+    # Minimum necessity score to accept without challenge (0-10)
+    # Necessity is assessed by: current requirements, immediate value, cost of deferral
+    # Default: 7 (must be clearly necessary to skip challenge)
+    min_necessity_score: 7
+
+    # Maximum acceptable complexity-to-necessity ratio
+    # If complexity score / necessity score > threshold, challenge strongly
