📘 BOARD GUIDE — Read Me First§

(pin this card at the very top of 📥 Inbox and never move or archive it)


0 · Why this board exists§

Your personal Trello board is the entry-point to the entire Solo-Team OS:

  • Every Clockify timer links to a card here.
  • Managers and bots look only at this board for WIP, blockers, approvals and evidence.
  • If it isn’t on this board, it’s invisible.

1 · List map (left ➜ right)§

7 · Getting unstuck§

  1. Ask the Oracle bot first (/find, /deepdive, /tip).
  2. Run the Self-Help Checklist (Ctrl/⌘+Shift+F search, WGLL, Miro map).
  3. Still blocked → label card 🔴, move to Blocked, run /alert.
  4. Log 2-min Setup:GapLog timer if you find a doc mismatch.

8 · Beta notice 🧪§

The boot-camp is in public-beta — Drive paths & labels may be 5-10 % out of sync with reality. When you hit a mismatch:

  • Screenshot it, post in #systems-kitchen with 🔴 Knowledge-Gap tag.
  • We patch and PR-merge within 24 h; Oracle bot auto-learns the fix.

Logging gaps is work — track the minutes!
