 This page defines the canonical resource URI contract, template parameter rules, and compatibility policy.
 
+Conventions in this document follow [MCP resource semantics](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/learn/server-concepts#resources), [URI generic syntax (RFC3986)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986), and [URI templates (RFC6570)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6570).

 ### `prompt_id`

 2. Must be unique across prompt ids and must not collide with skill ids.
 
+## URI Hygiene Rules
+
+1. Use lowercase, human-readable path segments for stable discoverability.
+2. Keep identifiers immutable once public whenever practical.
+3. Keep template variables semantic (`skill_id`, `prompt_id`, `ref_id`, `path*`) and avoid overloading one variable for unrelated meanings.
+4. Do not include secrets, tokens, or user-identifying data in URI paths or query strings.
+5. Prefer additive query parameters for discovery over introducing parallel URI families, matching [MCP resource-template discovery patterns](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/learn/server-concepts#resources).
