8. Your daily routine

This is most of the work. You shape tasks and review pull requests. Agents build.

#What to do next

Open the panel, and take the first of these that exists.

OrderWhat you seeWhat to do
1needs you on a card, or at the top of the panelOpen the session, and answer it.
2A card in ReviewRead the pull request. Merge it and press Accept, or comment and press Triage.
3A card in Draft with blockedPress Probe, and answer the question.
4A card in Draft in the current milestonePress Probe.
5A card in Ready in the current milestone, with its dependencies donePress Build.
6Nothing left in the milestoneRead the inbox, and start the next milestone.

The current milestone is the first one with a task that is not done. Finished work comes first, because a task in review blocks the tasks after it.

#One task, start to end

Probe → Build → read the pull request → Merge → Accept

You can run some builds at the same time, when their tasks do not depend on each other. Start with one, until you trust the checks.

#Close your sessions

A session does not end by itself. When it finishes, it waits at its prompt. Type /exit, or the panel keeps it open, and its button only says that it is running.

#Keep ideas out of the way

A new idea does not interrupt a milestone. Add one line to inbox.md, and commit it. accept also adds to the inbox the work that a build noticed and did not do.

Read the inbox only when you finish a milestone. To turn a line into work, open the Inbox tab, and press Intake beside it.

#Make the factory better

When you correct the same thing twice, make it a rule. On the second correction, ask for this under ## Context changes of the task. When you accept the task, the rule goes to context/rules/, and each later session reads it.

Write a rule for this under Context changes: [what the agent must do], because [the reason].

Keep a rule only if a future task would get it wrong without it. Each rule makes each session longer.
