System notes · Operating model

Rule: each task has exactly one current owner. Result: responsibility is visible without asking around.

Rule: planning, execution and review remain distinct roles. Result: the maker does not silently approve its own output.

Rule: agents record decisions and hand-offs in a shared channel. Result: another role can continue from written evidence.

Rule: machine-readable state mirrors current priorities. Result: the board can be rebuilt from one traceable source.

Rule: work is sorted by urgency and importance. Result: immediate work stays separate from strategic work.

Rule: public action waits for a recorded human decision. Result: automation remains bounded by accountable judgement.

Rule: a reviewer checks the actual artifact and its evidence. Result: a status claim alone cannot close a task.

Rule: scope, owner and next action travel together. Result: work changes hands without losing its decision trail.

Rule: completed tasks move into an attributed journal. Result: the live board stays readable while history remains inspectable.

Rule: all visible records are synthetic and non-operational. Result: the operating pattern can be inspected without exposing real work.
