+# Notebooks
+
+Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) scratch space only.
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Never use notebooks for anything reproducible.** Training, evaluation, and metric computation belong in `src/` with tests.
+- **Strip all outputs before committing.** Use `nbstripout` or equivalent.
+- **Label every notebook with a phase prefix:** `phase0-eda-eurusd-distribution.ipynb`
+
+Notebooks are thinking tools, not research artifacts. If a finding from a notebook is worth keeping, it goes into a spec, a decision in `DECISIONS.md`, or a result in `results/summaries/` — not the notebook itself.
