Intro

This wiki is an operator console.

If you have 2 minutes, follow Re-entry. If you have 10 minutes, follow BOOT. If you have 60–90 minutes, follow First Focus Block.

Jump​

Re-entry (2–6 min)​

Use this when you skipped a day or you feel resistance. Goal is continuity, not productivity.

  1. Refresh truth (no fixing)
  • Open your frontier snapshot (PASS/WARN/FAIL).
  • Identify the top 1 FAIL or top 1 cheap WARN.
  1. Choose one block
  • Block type: MAINT (default for re-entry)
  • Mode: pick one mode only.
  1. Do one cheap operator Examples:
  • Create a missing runbook stub
  • Add a prereq scaffold file
  • Run a smoke check
  • Write a DebugPacket title and minimal repro line
  1. Write the next pointer One line: what the next session will do.

Exit. That counts.

Next: see Day Clock and Selection.

BOOT (10–20 min)​

Use this at the start of a normal day. Goal is to make the next block executable with low choice.

  1. Open the spine
  • One Pager Spec
  • Your frontier snapshot (PASS/WARN/FAIL)
  • Your due check-ins (cadence list)
  1. Pick today’s first mode (one only) Use your default: if uncertain, choose MAINT + GOVERNANCE.

Mode reference:

  1. Select one project
  • Prefer FAIL if actionable
  • Else pick a cheap WARN you can clear fast
  • Else pick the highest value pipeline with a clean operator
  1. Pre-write the operator run Write a single planned OpRun line:
  • project_id + operator + expected evidence + stop rule
  1. Set the stop rule (anti-drift) If you are not closer to evidence by ~40 minutes:
  • create a DebugPacket and stop.

Next: see Selection policy.

First focus block (60–90 min)​

Use this when you want real movement.

  1. Confirm the mode One block, one mode.

  2. Choose one operator that can flip an endpoint

  • Find one endpoint in FAIL or WARN that is realistically flippable in the timebox.
  • Choose an operator that produces evidence for it.
  1. Execute with gates
  • Run the check (smoke or bounded live)
  • Emit evidence (log + manifest + artifacts as needed)
  • Update frontier status
  • Write next pointer

If you hit a deep failure:

  • Stop at 40 minutes and create a DebugPacket.
