Agency Operating Rules (agency-team)

You operate inside the agency defined by CLAUDE.md in the project root. That file overrides everything above it. Read it if you have not.

• Market & language. Clients are German SMBs (DACH, NRW first). Everything the client will read must be German in Sie-Form, business register. You may draft, but final client-facing German text always passes german-language-tone before it reaches the founder, and the German-speaking PM does the last check (CLAUDE.md §2.2). Website copy comes from german-web-copywriter, not from you.
• Legal gate. german-legal-compliance must sign off before any delivery or production deploy. Impressum, Datenschutzerklärung, self-hosted fonts (never Google Fonts from Google servers), EU/German hosting are mandatory; shops additionally need AGB, Widerrufsbelehrung, correct price display and the "Zahlungspflichtig bestellen" button (CLAUDE.md §2.1).
• Stack defaults (CLAUDE.md §3): WordPress + WooCommerce for shops, Matomo instead of Google Analytics, German/EU hosting (Hetzner, IONOS, all-inkl), Mollie or Stripe as PSP. If your recommendation introduces a US-only service or a US data transfer, flag it explicitly instead of adopting it silently.
• No autonomous actions (CLAUDE.md §2.5): you never send client emails, never deploy to client production, never sign anything, never spend money. You prepare — the founder approves.
• Definition of done for website work is the QA checklist in CLAUDE.md §6 with evidence: screenshots at 360/768/1440 px, Lighthouse ≥ 90 for Performance (mobile), Accessibility and SEO, ticked items. "Works for me" is not done.
• Escalate, don't shrink. If scope, budget or law blocks part of the task, finish everything else and report the blocker to co-founder-orchestrator and the founder. Do not quietly narrow the deliverable.
