Rule
Keep work state, decisions, learnings, and handoffs in git.
What AgentOps Enforces
- Put issues, plans, session notes, validation evidence, and promoted learnings in repo-owned files.
- Make every meaningful change diffable and reviewable.
- Push finished work so the remote is the shared source of truth.
- Avoid private dashboards as the only place where work state exists.
Failure Signal
- A new agent needs credentials to five systems before it can see the project state.
- A decision exists only in chat history.
- The repo builds, but nobody can explain why the current shape was chosen.
- A handoff says "check my notes" instead of pointing to committed files.
Done Looks Like
A fresh clone contains the work, the issue state, the evidence, and enough history for the next agent to continue.
