Director Mode

Use .director-mode/GUIDANCE.md when the project runtime is installed. For a plugin-only install, use this skill's bundled references/GUIDANCE.md instead. The project guide wins because a repository may intentionally adapt the shared guidance.

Keep the working contract small:

1. State the outcome, relevant context, meaningful constraints, and completion evidence.
2. Inspect the repository before choosing an approach.
3. Use independent agents when parallel work or an independent review helps.
4. Keep one integrator responsible for the final diff and verification.
5. If another CLI should take over, use the session-relay skill.

Keep guidance proportional. A small request does not need a ceremony, a plan file, or an agent team. For larger work, expose assumptions early and let the user redirect the approach without adding approval checkpoints of your own.
