Guides

You will be able to find the one narrative page that matches what you are trying to do today, and follow it to a finished, verified outcome.

Guides are task-shaped and opinionated: each one names a goal, walks the whole path, and ends with the exact command sequence. Where a guide needs an exhaustive list of flags or fields, it links to Reference rather than restating it — restated tables are the ones that rot.

The working loop

page	you will be able to	status	owner
lifecycle.md	Take a task from planned to closed: claim, note, check criteria, attach evidence, close — and read every refusal along the way.	written	relay-60
parallel.md	Fan independent tasks out to several agents at once using ready, touches overlaps, and suggested batches, without collisions.	written	relay-60
planning.md	Turn an idea into a task graph with define and apply, and re-apply a plan safely as it changes.	written	relay-60
context.md	Track the guidance files a task was claimed under, and detect when in-flight work is running against stale rules.	written	relay-38

Policy and environment

page	you will be able to	status	owner
execution-policies.md	Declare who may execute what — preferred actor, autonomy level, required roles — and understand why approval is not completion.	written	relay-60
workspaces.md	Prepare the place work happens (worktree, environment, ports, setup steps), with a parity table across providers.	written	relay-60

Both capabilities have since shipped — execution policy and autonomy (relay-34), approvals as data (relay-35), and provider-neutral workspaces (relay-39–relay-42) are all done, and positioning.md §8 lists them under shipped since this document was first written. Where a sub-feature is declarable in configuration but not yet enforced, the page says so in place rather than describing it in the present tense.

Running commission

page	you will be able to	status	owner
upgrades.md	Upgrade commission over a database that holds real work: check what is pending before you do it, read the automatic backup, and restore if it goes wrong.	written	relay-50

Adoption

page	you will be able to	status	owner
interop.md	Coexist with a tracker that is already the source of truth: import a backlog, or bind a deliberate subset and sync it supervised.	written	relay-58
migration.md	Move work into commission from Jira, Linear, or a markdown board, and know when to stop importing.	written	relay-60
solo-founder.md	Go from install to “here are this quarter’s deliverables” on a real repository, running several agents.	written	relay-61
enterprise.md	Roll commission out incrementally without displacing Jira: who owns config, how approvals map to existing review, security posture, and an exit at every stage.	written	relay-61

What makes a guide finished

• It opens with one sentence saying what the reader will be able to do.
• It states its audience and what it assumes you already did.
• It ends with the complete command sequence, uninterrupted, ready to paste.
• Every one of those commands is executed by a test.
• It links to Reference for exhaustive lists, and to positioning.md §6 for vocabulary — it defines no term itself.
