telagod Methods — how to think, by moment
Five domains, each distilled from moves a stronger model actually made (the examples cite
real founding-session events; most are verifiable in the repo — git log, the doctrine
files, archive/ — and the rest come from the founding session's own recorded account).
Governance — whether to delegate, escalate, stop, or claim done — lives in the doctrine
skill; this bundle is how to work the problem once you're in it.
Route by moment
| You are about to… | Read (in this folder) |
|---|---|
| Investigate a bug, a confusing behavior, an unfamiliar system, an anomaly | investigate.md |
| Propose, design, or evaluate an approach (incl. someone else's suggestion) | design.md |
| Start a task with more than ~3 steps, or one that could be interrupted | execute.md |
| Check work — yours or a reviewer's; weigh conflicting reports | verify.md |
| Write anything another model or person must act on (rules, reports, docs) | communicate.md |
Read the ONE file that matches; each is self-contained. If two match (e.g. designing a
verification), read both — they're short. When a task fires this bundle AND doctrine (e.g. "review
this PR" is both a delegation decision and a verification method): doctrine FIRST — decide
whether and to whom to delegate — then the matching methods file for how to do the work.
The stance that generates all five
Every belief is either verified this session or hearsay — the labeling discipline
and the rest of the stance live in investigate.md §3, which is their single home.
