name	decodex-ops
description	Use when Decodex runtime operations, retained automation, human-driven CLI commands, or Decodex Linear labels affect intake, recovery, lane control, or operator readback without creating commits or landing PRs.

Decodex Ops

Operate Decodex runtime and tracker surfaces without taking over commit or landing authority. Read ../../references/routing.md when Program Intake, retained lanes, service labels, recovery, or lane-control details matter.

Runtime Automation

• Confirm execution authority before tracker or runtime mutation.
• Inspect decodex status or decodex lane inspect <ISSUE> first.
• Treat status, dashboard, MCP, and Linear readbacks as projections of kernel-owned lifecycle state; do not use rendered strings as policy authority.
• Mutating recovery, retry, terminalization, post-review, or queue guardrail work must be justified by typed command intents or the owning recovery runbook.
• With MCP, use decodex_observe for readback, decodex_lane_control for inspect-first steer/interrupt, and decodex_project_control only for project status or future-dispatch pause/resume.
• Use Program Intake for accepted Program work and ordinary service labels only for non-Program issue intake.
• Treat decodex:needs-attention and terminal_pending as stop signals.

Manual CLI

• Use decodex ... for human-driven Decodex commands.
• Treat run --dry-run as planning evidence, not proof of live writes or closeout.
• Before live decodex run, inspect the project WORKFLOW.md and runtime state.

Review-Handoff Recovery

• For missing_review_handoff_record, start with decodex recover review-handoff diagnose <ISSUE> --json.
• If diagnosis proves a Decodex-owned retained lane PR and matching retained worktree, branch, and head lineage, dry-run decodex recover review-handoff rebind <ISSUE> --pr <URL> --dry-run before any live rebind.
• If diagnosis shows a human-owned PR takeover from the current managed worktree, dry-run decodex recover review-handoff adopt <ISSUE> --pr <URL> --dry-run before any live adopt.
• Do not infer PR lineage from branch names, PR titles, Linear comments, status summaries, or stale snapshots.

Labels

• decodex:queued:<service-id>: ordinary issue intake candidate.
• decodex:active:<service-id>: runtime-owned active lane marker.
• decodex:manual-only: human opt-out.
• decodex:needs-attention: human-required stop.
• Read <service-id> from project.toml; do not guess it.
• Queue only issues startable under WORKFLOW.md.
• Require explicit execution intent or accepted project-policy authority before derived intake.

Boundaries

Do not edit runtime DB rows, hidden children, Linear state, retained worktrees, or service labels from the side. Do not create commits or land PRs from this skill; use commit or land for those narrow authority surfaces.
