Beautiful work. They say that once you get the feel of rock it gets easier and goes faster. Is that true?
Each new addition centers on the two below it. Leave no joints aligned, and watch out for zippers. Big rocks at the bottom, little rocks on top, but a coping stone to rule all. More friction, more better. Take and inch or two of batter if you can get it. If you come across some outcrops that look like springers, build a compression arch and compress it. Build your wall in 3-D even if you only have enough room for facing (not cribbing) by using through stones to brace on bedrock. Seems like those would be the rules and the examination would be a quick one.
