# Panel Grab

Take one square of the field and make it yours.

## Overview

Use Panel Grab for narrower room control when a single lane, dependency, or decision surface matters more than broad expansion.

This is the secondary Codex compatibility rendering of a metaphorical battle-chip pattern with a shipping-now execution model.

Canonical chip family: Panel Grab
Codex shelf: Control and Terrain
Provider target: Codex compatibility surface.

## When To Use

- You only need one extra lane to proceed.
- A small ownership change is safer than a broad takeover.
- The system is tight enough that one panel changes the fight.

## Workflow

1. Find the exact panel worth stealing.
2. Take that panel and no more.
3. Exploit the new lane immediately.

## Deliverables

- A narrowly scoped ownership or dependency adjustment.
- A note about why that single panel mattered.

## Guardrails

- Do not convert Panel Grab into Area Grab out of impatience.
- Avoid stealing panels that create new hidden obligations.

## Default Invocation

Use Panel Grab to capture one specific panel, lane, or ownership boundary that unlocks the next step without broadening scope.
