Planning Workspace

This directory is for real project planning and backlog management.

Files

• professional_project_spec_v1.md: canonical project spec template.
• project_backlog_schema_v1.json: JSON schema for backlog records.
• project_backlog_starter_2026-02-27.json: starter backlog with high-significance fields.
• specs/: one spec per project (<project_id>.md).

Workflow

1. Add or update a project in project_backlog_starter_2026-02-27.json.
2. Create its spec in specs/<project_id>.md using the v1 template.
3. Raise execution_readiness to execution_ready only when checklist is complete.
4. During burst month, execute by priority + dependency order while preserving personal_significance_tier.

Priority Policy

• priority_tier decides urgency.
• personal_significance_tier prevents mission-critical personal projects from being deprioritized by short-term throughput goals.
• If conflict exists, treat core_life_work as protected unless explicitly overridden.
