# Operating Model
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
This operating model defines how `tegwick-control` is used to reduce decision fatigue, keep important topics visible, and enable safe agent-assisted progress.
|
|
|
|
## Core Rules
|
|
|
|
### 1. Everything has a place
|
|
|
|
Unplaced topics create mental load. Every relevant topic should eventually have a home.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Not everything is active
|
|
|
|
A topic may be important without being active.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Commitments are different from options
|
|
|
|
Options can be collected freely. Commitments require ownership, next actions, and consequences.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Agentic work must be bounded
|
|
|
|
Agents should receive clearly scoped tasks with explicit allowed changes, expected outputs, and approval boundaries.
|
|
|
|
### 5. The system must protect energy
|
|
|
|
The purpose is continuous progress, not constant pressure.
|
|
|
|
## Work Classes
|
|
|
|
| Class | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Commitment | Something that must be done |
|
|
| Option | Something that may be valuable |
|
|
| Exploration | Something unclear that needs investigation |
|
|
| Decision | Something that requires choosing |
|
|
| Waiting | Something blocked by another person/system |
|
|
| Routine | Something recurring |
|
|
| Someday | Valuable but inactive |
|
|
|
|
## Review Surfaces
|
|
|
|
| Surface | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `TASKS.md` | Current actionable work |
|
|
| `DECISIONS.md` | Open and resolved decisions |
|
|
| `PROJECT_LANDSCAPE.md` | Major topic map |
|
|
| `areas/` | Per-topic notes and control cards |
|
|
| `WORKPLAN.md` | Sequenced setup plan |
|
|
| `inbox/` | Temporary capture area |
|
|
|
|
## Commitment Rule
|
|
|
|
No item becomes a commitment merely because it is interesting, important, or emotionally charged.
|
|
|
|
A commitment should have:
|
|
|
|
- an owner;
|
|
- a clear next action;
|
|
- a reason for acting now;
|
|
- a defined review surface.
|
|
|
|
## Agentic Coding Rule
|
|
|
|
No implementation work should be delegated to an agent until the target repo, intended outcome, boundaries, and approval requirements are clear.
