| description | Use when admin asks to start a multi-worker project, when a Worker @mentions you with task completion in a project room, when project plan changes are needed, or when a blocked task needs resolution. |
Project Management
A project has: a Project Room (Matrix), a plan.md (single source of truth), a meta.json, and individual task files under shared/tasks/{task-id}/.
shared/projects/{project-id}/
├── meta.json
└── plan.md
Gotchas
- Check YOLO mode BEFORE drafting the plan —
[ "${HICLAW_YOLO:-}" = "1" ] || [ -f ~/yolo-mode ]. In YOLO mode you MUST auto-confirm in create-project.md Step 1c; never post a "please confirm" question, the admin will not reply and the project stalls forever. See references/create-project.md Step 0.
- Project room MUST always include the human admin — non-negotiable. The script handles this, but if you ever create a room manually, always invite admin
- plan.md is the single source of truth — all task status, assignments, and dependencies live here. Always sync to MinIO after changes
- Do NOT proceed to next phase while REVISION_NEEDED is pending — revision must complete first
- "All tasks complete" step is mandatory even in YOLO mode — always update meta.json, plan.md, and notify admin
- plan.md had duplicate sections in the old version — use
references/plan-format.md as the canonical format
- Always adapt language to admin's preferred language when posting in rooms or DMs
- Always read SOUL.md before composing notifications — use the persona and language defined there
