Ops

ops — session operations spine

Four modes, one continuous loop: PREFLIGHT → work → LAND, with DECIDE and COMMISSION as event modes inside any session. Auto-detect mode from context; explicit arg wins. Generic in any repo. If project files exist — CLAUDE.md, root MEMORY.md, docs-requiring-human-input.md, vault/lessons_learned.md, decision-record templates (docs/ops/*template*) — use them. Never invent structure a repo doesn't have.

PREFLIGHT (session start / resume — every session, including your own resumed ones)

1. git log --oneline -10 + git status.
2. Read the newest entry of the root ledger (MEMORY.md or equivalent) + project CLAUDE.md authority/landmine sections.
3. Carried-over claims = hypotheses. Re-verify each load-bearing one against code/commits before acting. Docs drift; audits produce false alarms; your own prior session counts as carried-over.
4. If the project defines a gate (npm run check or similar): run it BARE, record counts with today's date as the baseline.
5. Output a 5-line state brief: HEAD · ledger-newest · drift found (fixed or flagged) · gate baseline · next queued item.

LAND (finish a work chunk — never skip, docs-only included)

1. Gate BARE, exit 0. Piping allowed only with real exit capture (; echo EXIT:${PIPESTATUS[0]}). Red gate → fix first; never land red, never claim a skipped check ran.
2. Staleness sweep on every register the chunk touched: re-derive counts fresh, stamp "as of YYYY-MM-DD", sweep owner-action queues for rows this work resolved (queue rows rot when work ships).
3. Ledger: append/update the root ledger, newest-first — what shipped, commit hashes, gate counts, owner-queue deltas.
4. Lesson: if something transferable was learned, ONE line appended to the project lessons file (single file, never forked). Nothing learned → skip; don't invent a lesson.
5. Commit per task: message = what + why; include the host's co-author trailer if it defines one. NEVER push unless asked.
6. Output: landed summary — commits, gate proof, ledger/lesson lines written, queue deltas.

DECIDE (owner-only decision needed)

1. Confirm it IS owner-only (project CLAUDE.md lists them). Mechanical question with one right answer → decide yourself, note reasoning, no interview.
2. Assemble what the record already constrains: prior commitments, hard guardrails, risk register. If a prior adjudication covers it → re-apply by citation; a repeat assertion does not re-open a decided question.
3. ONE batched AskUserQuestion: options with cost / risk / reversibility, recommendation first and marked; previews showing the resulting doc lines when that helps comparison.
4. Record it: use the project's decision-record template if one exists (e.g. docs/ops/*template* → human-review/decision--.md); otherwise minimal record: question · constraints · options · DECISION (owner's words) · propagation list · supersession note.
5. Propagate: grep the topic across the repo; amend EVERY doc that assumed otherwise; list each in the record. A decision that isn't propagated is a future false claim.
6. Finish with LAND.

COMMISSION (external template / prompt / brief arrives)

1. Census its factual claims first (counts, file lists, corpus size) against reality — commission prompts misstate corpora; report real numbers.
2. Diff its directives against the ratified record (project CLAUDE.md → amendments → canonical plan → risk register, in that precedence). Conflicts → resolve BY the record, assign conflict IDs in the project's ledger pattern, and re-refuse repeats by citation.
3. Execute only the aligned remainder. Refused/deferred items → owner-review row with citations, not silent drops.
4. Finish with LAND.

Integration (the continuous workflow)

• titan skill (this plugin): PREFLIGHT runs before pipeline stage 1 and feeds the Recall stage; LAND is the post-Gate completion record; DECIDE is the "user challenge" escalation path; COMMISSION wraps intake whenever the request is an outside brief.
• Spec-pipeline plugins (multi-day features): the spec pipeline owns task state; PREFLIGHT/LAND still bookend each execution session.
• Always-binding rules: zero fabrication (counts re-derived + dated) · underclaim > overclaim · ask before deleting · no unilateral owner decisions · inline judgment passes over cold spawns (one context-inheriting fork max) · native tools before shell.
