+# Writing well-behaved commands
+
+DVC is simple to use, you only need to wrap your commands with `dvc run`, and
+define your dependencies and outputs.
+
+To prevent unexpected behaviors, ideally, your commands should follow some
+principles:
+
+- Read exclusively from specified dependencies
+- Write exclusively to specified outputs
+- Completely rewrite the outputs (do not append)
+- Stop reading and writing when the command exits
