File contents

Hiring

Hire workers from .harness/shared/HR-Resource/.

Required Inputs

requester
needed capability
mission name
blocking status
owning CXX (cto, cqo, coo, cdo, or ops)

Workflow

Reject any request from CEO to hire or brief a specialist worker directly. Tell CEO to route through the owning CXX.
Search .harness/shared/HR-Resource/*/SKILL.md.
Select the smallest fitting worker.
Install it to .claude/skills/{owning-cxx}/{name}/SKILL.md and .codex/skills/{owning-cxx}/{name}/SKILL.md.
Update .harness/shared/hr-roster.json without deleting existing hired entries. Record owner as the owning CXX, skillPath as .harness/shared/HR-Resource/{name}/SKILL.md, and skillPaths.claude / skillPaths.codex as tool-specific hierarchical installed paths.
The owning CXX must write worker reports under .harness/documents/{mission}/{owning-cxx}/workers/{name}.md. Do not write flat .harness/documents/{mission}/workers/{name}.md except when migrating legacy missions.
Ask the harness-resource-manager skill to update trigger wording.
Return worker name, owner, source skill path, installed paths, mission report path, invocation wording, related convention/gotcha links supplied by the owning CXX, and the mandatory report appendix below.

Worker Rule Links

Every hired worker receives the owning CXX's relevant convention/gotcha links in the worker brief. Workers read those linked topic files only when they match the assigned task.

Mandatory Worker Report Appendix

Every hired worker must append this English section to the bottom of its existing report:

## Implementation Notes

### Design Decisions
- ...

### Deviations
- ...

### Tradeoffs
- ...

### Open Questions
- ...

The appendix must summarize risks, self-corrections, and chosen direction. Use None when a subsection has no entries.

Never mark a missing worker as available.
