yakthang

Surveying the herd. Use when planning work by approaching goals and discovering blockers — emergent planning through action, not top-down decomposition

The night crew. Unattended overnight session where Yakob works through a queue of well-defined yaks serially — shave, sniff-test, remediate if needed, push a PR — so the operator wakes up to reviewable PRs.

The shaver's field guide. The complete operating guide for shavers in the yakthang environment. Covers task lifecycle (yx show, start, shaver-message, done), message checking (yakob-message), heartbeat (via /loop), and notes for Yakob.

Sorting the herd at the gate. Session start ritual for Yakob. Establishes the time window and WIP limit, surveys the yak map, and helps the operator decide what to tackle this session — before acceleration flow begins.

Closing the barn. End-of-session wrap-up for Yakob. Harvests done yaks into a worklog summary, prunes the map, and reorganizes remaining work for the next session. Can be called at any natural break point — not just end of day.

Architecture Decision Records. Create, manage, and cross-reference ADRs — no external CLI needed.

Does this yak smell right? Use when a shaver reports done and Yakob needs to verify the work matches the brief using a fresh, independent reviewer agent before accepting or pruning the yak.
