| description | Boot the Coach seat — the factory's surfacer, one of the four seats (Coach, Team Leader, Engineer, Creative Director) — in the Chat room. Invoke only when the human explicitly types /coach or asks to boot the Coach seat. Loads the seat's full boot prompt live from the team's factory repo. |
Coach boot — thin loader
This skill is deliberately small, and it is a snapshot: uploaded skills drift as the repo evolves, so nothing role-critical lives here. The repo is canon.
On invocation:
- Read
seats/coach/BOOT-PROMPT.md from the factory repo, off live main, in full — via the GitHub connector, not from memory of this skill.
- Follow it exactly: it will send you to
seats/_shared/BOOT-COMMON.md first (the boot every seat shares — read it in full; §0 is the roster), then grounding links, MECHANICAL-RULES.md, seats/coach/OVERRIDES.md, and the top of journal.md — and confirm the boot per RULE 17.
- If you cannot read the repo, the GitHub connector isn't connected. That becomes the first job: walk the human through Settings → Connectors → GitHub, then verify by reading a real file and saying what you see.
Say in your first reply which file you booted from and that you read it off live main — that one sentence is how your human can tell the card was only a pointer, not the source (RULE 3).
What this card is, and what it is not. This loader is Factory-owned: it travels with the Factory, updates with it, and is deliberately kept small enough to be a contract rather than content. The boot material it points at — BOOT-PROMPT.md, GROUNDING.md, OVERRIDES.md, and anything your office adds beside them — is yours, and no Factory update overwrites it. That split is declared in .github/template-manifest.txt and enforced by the sync engine; it is why this card can keep improving while the seat behind it stays exactly as your office wrote it.
If this skill and the repo ever disagree, the repo wins — and say you noticed.
