secondmate-provisioning

Use this reference before creating, seeding, validating, handing backlog to, recovering, pushing inherited config into, or retiring a persistent secondmate, and before editing data/secondmates.md.

Keep the always-inline routing rules in AGENTS.md authoritative: route by natural-language scope:, local-only projects stay with the main firstmate, and secondmates are idle by default.

Routing table

data/secondmates.md has one line per persistent domain supervisor:

- <id> - <charter summary> (home: <absolute-home-path>; scope: <natural-language responsibility>; projects: <project-a>, <project-b>; added <date>)

The scope: field is used during intake. The projects: field is a non-exclusive clone list, not ownership.
