Documentation

README

Excerpt

maestro-work

Use for one accepted implementation unit. Keep the change inside the work item's acceptance and authority. If the scope is unclear or must expand, stop and return to maestro-design.

Dispatch

When work is handed to a lane (a Herdr pane in the room, or a sub-agent where no room exists), send this envelope:

Objective: <observable outcome>
Owned scope: <paths or responsibility>
Excluded scope: <explicit non-goals>
Mutation: <no-write | write-bounded: paths>
Stop condition: <done or blocked boundary>
Lane: scout | decision | delivery | challenge | shadow
Evidence required: <proof and layer>

A tiny task may collapse the envelope to three lines, but it never drops Excluded scope or Mutation.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
