Written 2026-07-10 — this org moves fast; the sessions are the ground truth
Brief → dispatch → isolate → verify externally → publish. One method, two renderings: this page narrates it for humans; For AIs compresses it for transfer. Neither page owns a private version of the truth.
A fresh mind can start cold. No conversation history assumed. The brief carries context, task, constraints, conventions, done criteria, and return format — and the instruction to make the best call on ambiguous points and document it. The quality of the brief is the up-skilling mechanism; model choice is secondary.

Parallel builders get their own git worktrees and branches. No shared dirty trees. Worktree isolation is the real boundary — not a prompt preamble asking models to play nice. Commit locally; never push from a bench run. Production deploys wait for a human.

The orchestrator does not trust self-report. Count the rows. Run the build. Open the
evidence file. Read git log. “Committed cleanly” with zero commits is a
first-class failure mode, recorded in the same font as wins — and it happened on the
published session.

When a delegate stalls asking for advice: “You know what to do, don’t you.” One bounce. Second stall → the orchestrator advises. Autonomy is granted, not taken — reversible actions proceed; irreversible ones wait for the human. The line is liturgy with a rule attached, not a meme.
Review happens on the thing that runs: the demo film, the live page, the build queue card. Pull requests are record and merge mechanism; they are not the review surface. Built and verified is not the same as production-deployed — prose on this site keeps those honest until deploy actually happens.

What Mike actually reviews: the film playing and the page working — not an unread PR.
One core, two assistants. Geometry that survives a page reload. Built and verified 2026-07-10.

Walk one dispatch end to end: Anatomy of a Dispatch
Adrian, the site’s guide, is being built in the open — watch that happen in Sessions.
