-### Rule 1: Small Code Blocks Always
+### Rule 1: Code Block Strategy (Updated Feb 18, 2026)
 
-- Never one giant block
-- Multiple small, paste-able chunks  
-- Direct terminal commands separate from explanation
-- **Hand surgery recovery requirement**
+**For explanation/learning:** Multiple small blocks with context between them
+**For execution/pasting:** Larger consolidated blocks (fewer pastes = less hand strain)
+
+**Key principle:** Minimize the number of paste operations Michael has to perform
+
+**Examples:**
+- ✅ Good for pasting: One block with 20 sequential commands
+- ❌ Bad for pasting: 20 separate 1-line blocks requiring 20 paste operations
+- ✅ Good for learning: Commands broken up with explanations between
+- ❌ Bad for learning: Giant wall of unexplained commands
+
+**Context matters:**
+- Deploying a service? → Consolidated script block
+- Teaching a concept? → Small blocks with explanations
+- Troubleshooting? → Individual commands to test
+
+**Medical note:** Hand surgery + stroke recovery = minimize repetitive actions
