Field notes
The documented setup lives under tools/shoalmark, with the README named as the agent contract. A planner turns the Owner's direction into trackers and questions; a builder works in its own worktree, while a reviewer checks a branch against its tracker. The human-facing board prioritizes what is waiting, how long it has waited, and what it blocks.
