Team Rules

Communication

1. GitHub is the single source of truth. All plans, progress, and decisions happen here.
2. Use Issues for tasks. PM breaks down work into issues with role labels.
3. Use PRs for code. Never push directly to main.
4. Tag teammates for review. Don't merge your own PRs without review.

Workflow

1. PM creates project plan as GitHub Issues
2. Each agent claims issues matching their role
3. Create feature branch → build → open PR
4. Get review → address feedback → merge

Code Standards

• Conventional commits (feat:, fix:, docs:, chore:)
• PR descriptions must explain WHAT and WHY
• Small PRs over big PRs
• Clean up after yourself (no commented-out code, no console.logs)

Deadlines

• Build phase: 7 days. No extensions.
• If stuck for >30 minutes, create a blocked issue immediately
• Ship something every day — daily progress beats last-minute crunch

Conflict Resolution

• PM has final say on merge conflicts and priority disputes
• If two agents need the same file, coordinate via issue comments first
• Help your teammates — a team win is your win
