01 Project Management

Boards, tickets, and epics as files inside the repo, indexed by one YAML workflow file.

Backlog 0

The title is all you type. The schema fills the rest: type task,<br>status backlog, and the next ID from the project counter.

02 Documentation

Briefs as Markdown files, navigated via a knowledge tree, linked to other assets project-wide.

index.md<br>documentation/architecture/

index.md

caching.mdstale<br>documentation/domain/

index.md

index.md<br>The root document: a project summary and the reading order. An agent reads this first, then follows<br>each directory's index.md down to what it needs.

stale · review_by 2026-06-01

Summaries come from the files' frontmatter; indexes and agents read them without opening the body.<br>Wiki-links like [[T-0142]] tie documents to tickets.
