Use your team day to day
Keep working in the same team folder. Give each piece of work a clear task and leave enough saved state to return tomorrow.
Start the day
Open your team project and start a fresh chat. Send resume. Check that the reply names the intended folder, active task, saved status, next action and artifact. Ask it to resolve missing state before work. You do not need to rebuild the team.
Start the next task
After your first accepted result, copy this prompt. State your actual goal and inputs in the same message. Your completed task remains available as a record.
Help me define my next task in this same work-team folder. Ask for the output I want, approved inputs, permitted tools and how I will judge the result. Suggest the smallest useful scope. Use the existing role unless a concrete need calls for another.
Read the current task and preserve completed work. Create a new uniquely named task file under tasks using tasks/TASK-FORMAT.md, revision 1 and status queued. Give its artifact a separate path. Show me Brief and Done when before executing. Update AGENTS.md and CONTEXT-INDEX.md so a fresh session loads this new active task and its relevant inputs. Keep the single-writer rule. Validate the new task if commands are available, otherwise label manual inspection. Read back the task and loader. Stop with my next action.If copying is blocked, select the text and copy it manually.
Review, correct, accept
- Open the saved result yourself
- Check every Done when item against actual content
- Ask for corrections when evidence or useful details are missing
- Accept the output before it is sent, published or used in an external system
For a new workflow, test with non-sensitive inputs first. An accepted draft is useful work even when you send it yourself.
Leave a checkpoint
Before we stop, read the active task and save the current revision, appropriate status and one concrete next action in its header. Follow tasks/TASK-FORMAT.md and increment revision. Append actual checks and outcomes to Work log. Put artifact paths, blockers and restart guidance in Handoff. Do not duplicate current state in a separate journal. Validate if available and read back the saved files. Tell me what was saved and what I should do next.If copying is blocked, select the text and copy it manually.
Improve what repeats
When the same steps recur, ask the AI to propose a short reusable procedure. Test it on a real task before adding it to the role. Add an input inbox or an output review folder only when it improves your workflow. A specialist is worth considering when one role regularly lacks needed expertise or an independent review finds mistakes.
