# Collaboration Playbook
This is the high-level operating pattern behind the minion workflow.
## Core Idea
Keep the repo as the durable source of coordination truth.
- chat is for decisions and back-and-forth
- plans are for formal scope and gates
- role files define responsibilities
- runtime truth is validated separately from commit history
- handoffs should be commit-backed; push is explicit, not assumed
## Recommended Lifecycle
1. `PM` opens a plan or review packet
2. `CM` responds with findings or implementation
3. `SM` performs a security review when the work changes risk posture
4. `OM-Test` / `OM` verifies deployed/runtime truth when relevant
5. `PM` accepts, rejects, or narrows the next step
6. `Operator` reviews live results and raises human concerns
## PM-Owned Onboarding
Before normal execution cadence, `PM` runs onboarding with the Operator and captures decisions in `docs/operator-onboarding-checklist.md`.
Onboarding should explicitly set:
- whether escalation response clocks are enabled for this project
- how `CHANGELOG.md`, `ROADMAP.md`, and `TODO.md` will be maintained
- project-specific guardrail additions beyond template defaults
## Common Failure Modes This Prevents
- code merged but not deployed
- deployed but not actually running
- PM approving commit history instead of runtime truth
- chat discussion getting lost between sessions
- role boundaries blurring under pressure
