rules:
  - name: Confirm Public Availability
    description: >-
      Before publishing any HUB Group API or integration as a property,
      confirm the resource is publicly available rather than gated behind
      private customer portal access.
  - name: Respect Customer Portal Boundaries
    description: >-
      Customer portal endpoints are not public APIs. Do not document them
      in apis.yml unless HUB Group has explicitly published developer
      documentation for the underlying service.
  - name: Track Smart City Integrations
    description: >-
      Watch for IoT, sensor, and data analytics integrations connected to
      HUB multifunction poles. These are the most likely sources of
      future API surfaces.
  - name: Cite Authoritative Sources
    description: >-
      Pull descriptions and specifications from the official HUB Group
      website or co branded Valmont Industries materials rather than
      third party summaries.
  - name: Update Modified Date On Change
    description: >-
      Whenever apis.yml is updated, set the modified field to the current
      date so downstream tooling can detect changes.
