Draft Marker Discipline

Overview

A manuscript written across many sessions accumulates open questions. Where those questions live determines whether the draft is auditable or merely long.

Kept in chat, they evaporate at the end of the session. Kept in a separate issue list, they drift out of sync with the sentence they belong to. Kept in the source next to the claim, they survive, they travel with the text, and they can be counted.

This skill covers the marker system, the triage that makes a marker count meaningful, the measurement that makes a length claim honest, and the two mechanical traps that have each cost a real build.
