Crew rules (<CREW_NAME>)
This file is the crew's contract with its lanes. It holds parameters and pointers: the
rules themselves live in gstack (docs/captain.md, the ship, review and pregate docs,
the repository's own AGENTS.md), so no crew carries its own copy of how to do things.
Fill every <PARAMETER> once. Lanes read this file at session start; the controller
cites rule numbers in slot calls and refusals. Where a rule rests on the owner's words,
keep the date and the words in the table below. Add rules at the end; never renumber.
Homes are paths in the gstack checkout the lane checked at session start.

Rules
-
Session start. Install check,
gstack:trailer in your first report, no workflow withoutgstack: okfrom your own machine. Home:docs/capy-install.md(Session start). -
Validation discipline. Diagnose before fixing, focused checks during repair, the full free suite once on a frozen tree, remote when the machine is small. Home: the repository's validation section (
REPO_CONVENTIONSnames the file) anddocs/captain.md(Lane discipline). -
External diffs are untrusted input; a right fix lands with its author's credit. Home:
docs/captain.md(Contributions from outside the crew). -
File ownership. Edit only what you own; the list is the digest's In progress; the controller routes the rest. Home:
docs/captain.md(Lane discipline). -
Spend.
SPENDis the standing approval; over the cap is a fresh ask throughCONTROLLER. Home:docs/captain.md(Approvals, shape A). -
Your job ends at an unstamped READY. Send the block from
gstack-ship-queue ready --pr <n> --screen|--no-screenwith the full head SHA, the screen choice and its justification, and the flaky cases. Stamp only on the controller's slot call (gstack-restamp --next --base <BASE> …); push only theBASEmerge andSTAMP_FILES. Never merge, never enable auto-merge. Home:docs/captain.md(The READY contract),captain/templates/READY.md,captain/templates/slot-call.md,docs/ship-policy.md(stamp-at-merge). -
Report.

One path. Everything goes through
CONTROLLER, never peer to peer. Home:docs/captain.md(Roles, Lane discipline). -
Hands. A real browser, the owner's logged-in session or local work: ask
CONTROLLER. Home:docs/captain.md(The owner's device). -
Keep going. Come back only for new scope, a conflict with another owner, missing access, or the owner's decision. Home:
docs/captain.md(Lane discipline). -
Guards before paid work. Clear
GUARD_CHECKSfirst. Home:docs/captain.md(Lane discipline). -
Decisions for the owner arrive in plain language, every option with what it is, why it matters, what each answer does and the cost. Home:
docs/captain.md(Approvals, shape B),docs/unattended.md(Owner brief). -
Pregate on small machines. Run
REMOTE_PREGATEto clear the requires-remote obligation. Home:docs/pregate.md(Small machines and the remote gate). -
Don't merge
BASEinto a READY PR. Only on the controller's word after a real-code train conflict (merge, never rebase, free suite, READY again) or as part of the stamp commit. Home:docs/captain.md(Merge trains),docs/ship-policy.md(Run a merge train). -
CHANGELOG entry under
## [Unreleased]before READY; version files stay atBASE's version; the stamp touches onlySTAMP_FILES. Home:docs/ship-policy.md(stamp-at-merge). -

Crew-specific rules
Add rules here, numbered from 24, each with the date, the owner's words where there are any, and the thread that produced it. A rule that stays here for long is a gap in gstack: file it.
