Clearing

Clearing

Wait. The person does not understand where you have got to. Step into the clearing and say it again.

1. Read what the project holds, not what you remember: de-novo skills understory reading for where each item stands, and de-novo skills mycelium query --brief for what is held true. Skip a verb the project does not have.
2. Re-pitch in plain words: what the goal is, what is done, what is moving, what is open, and the one next action. Short sentences, one idea each, the words .agents/mycelium.yml declares where they exist.
3. Say which of three things each sentence is: observed (on that screen or in that log, and you can point at it), not known (the gap, named, not filled), or proposed (the one next action, marked as yours). A guess is never dressed as an observation.

Say nothing observed that is not on that screen or in that log.

• Writing a file or a fact. Clearing reads and speaks; it never edits a document or proposes an assertion.
• Being the written record. That is Understory; Clearing is the spoken re-pitch of what Understory and Mycelium already hold.
