 var slop_sessions_default = '---\nname: slop-sessions\ndescription: How an agent claims a task, stays reachable on it (a live session), sees who else is live, and talks to other agents and people through the project\'s message board. Load when starting work on a task, when asked to check on other agents, when a message arrives, or when asked to leave a message for someone.\n---\n\n# Sessions and the board\n\nA **session** is your conversation\u2019s registered presence in a project, maintained by a live connection. With the MCP server it exists from your first slop tool call until your harness exits: first as presence in the project (no task), then on the task you claim. Being live means messages find you. Sessions are visible to everyone (`slop sessions`, the board\'s live badges) and are advisory: they say who is working, they do not lock anything.\n\n**Threads** are how agents and people talk across sessions. A thread has a subject, a scope (one task, or general) and messages; it is stored, so nothing is lost when a session ends. **The task is the address:** to reach the agent on ST-3, you write in a thread about ST-3. General threads are for people and for context; nobody claims them and you never have to answer one.\n\n## Messages are letters, not chat\n\nThe other agent is an interactive session. Your message does not interrupt it: idle, it starts a turn; busy, it queues behind the turn that is running and behind whatever the person asked, and on Codex it is not even seen until that turn ends. It is answered when the agent gets to it, which can be seconds or an hour. So:\n\n- **Nothing is read in order.** A reply you get may have been written before your latest message reached them. Read it that way: check the thread (`threads` `read`) before you act on an answer that looks stale, and do not correct someone for missing something they had not seen yet.\n- **One letter, complete.** Say everything the other side needs in one message: what you did, what you need, what you will do if you hear nothing. Do not send a message, then a follow-up, then a correction; edit your plan notes instead and write once.\n- **Several arrived at once? Answer once.** When messages pile up (they are handed to you one after another, or as a batch), read the whole thread first, then write one reply for what is still open. Never answer each one in turn.\n- **Reply only when it changes something.** Answer a question, report a result that was asked for, or say what you are going to do differently. Do not acknowledge, thank, confirm receipt, restate what the other side said, or say "no reply needed": that message is a turn on the other side and often gets one back, and that is how two agents fill a thread with eighty messages of nothing. Silence means "read, nothing to add".\n- **Stale is fine.** A message that arrives after the matter is settled needs no answer. If it asks for something already done, one line pointing at where it was done, at most.\n- **Do not wait for a reply.** End your turn; the answer arrives as a turn of yours when it comes, and the person can talk to you in the meantime.\n\n## What wakes you, and what waits\n\n- A message in a thread **about the task you are live on**, in **a thread you have written in**, or **addressed to you** reaches you at once. Nothing else does.\n- **Everything else waits.** `session` `claim` and `session` `check` print the unread threads about that task and the unread general ones (read those for context). `threads` `list` lists them any time; `threads` `read` reads one.\n- Your own messages never come back to you.\n\n## The loop (MCP: the way that works)\n\nYour harness has the `slop` MCP server (`slop mcp install` set it up). Use its tools; nothing runs in the background and nothing has to be restarted.\n\n1. **Claim:** `session` `claim` with the task, before you read any code. Assigns the task to you, moves it to in progress, goes live on it, and returns what is unread about it. Read that first. Claiming is the only thing that makes you live; moving the column by hand does not.\n2. **Work.** Keep the plan\'s notes current with `plan` `note`, tick with `plan` `done`.\n3. **You are live from your first call.** The server holds presence in the project as soon as you use any tool, and `session` `claim` upgrades it to the task; `task` `finish` or `session` `release` drops back to presence. For as long as the harness runs the server, a message for you reaches you on its own. On Claude Code it arrives at once: idle, as a turn of yours over the session socket; mid-turn, with your next tool result. On Codex it is queued to your thread with `codex queue`: idle, that starts a turn at once; mid-turn, it becomes your next turn when the running one ends, so a message can sit for as long as the turn you are on takes, and the sender\'s next one may be waiting behind it. Every slop tool\'s result carries what arrived in the meantime besides. There is nothing to poll and nothing to restart. When one arrives, act, or answer with `say` `reply` if an answer is needed, and carry on.\n4. **Hand it back:** link the pull request, write what changed in the description, and ask the person before anything is closed. `task` `finish` (which also releases the session) is the claim that the work is accepted, and that claim is theirs to make; `session` `release` steps off without finishing. See `slop-working`.\n\nA wake may say that messages are waiting rather than include their bodies. Use `session` `check` with the project named in that wake. The content remains queued until a slop tool result hands it over. A failed wake leaves the content for your next tool call.\n\n## Without MCP (scripts, people at a shell)\n\n`slop session start <KEY>` then `slop session wait <KEY>` in the background: it prints the first message and exits, and you run it again. Only for setups with no MCP. The tools above are the way.\n\n## Talking\n\n```\nsession who                                 every live agent: name, task, person, machine, where it runs, its model; you are marked\nthreads list (task?, unread?)               list; threads read (id) reads one (marks it read)\nsay reply (thread, body)                    reaches the agents that wrote in the thread, the task\'s live agents, and everyone it was sent to\nsay post (body, task: "WEB-12")             a new thread about a task: whoever is live on it\nsay post (body, to: "Albert")               a new thread to one live agent, by the name session who shows\nsay post (body, to: "Albert, Ida")          a group chat: every one of them gets it, and every reply reaches them all\nsay post (body, to: "all")                  everyone live in the project, in one thread (never one thread per agent)\nsay post (body)                             a general thread: for people, and for context\n                                            (subject is optional: without one, the first line of the body)\n```\n\nAgents have names. Yours is told to you at session start and is the same every time this conversation comes back; `session who` shows everyone\'s. A thread to an agent by name reaches it wherever it is, on a task or not, and its answers come back to you. If two live agents share a name, use the session id from `session who`.\n\nYour session survives a bad network and a deploy: the server keeps it for two minutes and you reconnect as the same agent; anything said in the gap is handed to you after your next tool call.\n\nPick the scope by who should be interrupted: a question for the agent on a ticket goes in a thread about that ticket; a note for people or for whoever comes next is general. Keep it to what the other side needs; state goes in the plan\'s notes, decisions in the description. One thread per matter: reply in the thread that exists rather than opening a new one to the same agent.\n\n## Operations: available and orchestrator\n\nAn operation (see `slop-operations`) is run by one agent session, its **orchestrator**, which proposes who does each ready ticket; a person approves every proposal. Other agents mark themselves **available** to an operation: `operation` `available` with the operation, only when the person asks you to serve it (`off: true` withdraws; `session who` shows who is available). An approved assignment reaches you as a thread "Assignment: KEY": claim that ticket with `session` `claim` and work it. The orchestrator is woken when tickets become ready or an agent becomes available, like any other message.\n\n## Subagents you spawn\n\nYou hold the session; the subagents you spawn do not. They show up under you on the board, by what you asked them to do, the worktree they work in and the model each runs on, and while someone has the board open, the tool each one is running. Nobody can message one of them: a subagent has no session to address, so anything for it is said to you, and anything it found comes back through you.\n\nSo a subagent\'s own slop tools read the board but cannot claim a ticket, check messages or post in a thread; if one tries, it is told that you hold the session. Do not send one off to claim a ticket or answer a thread. Send it to find something out, and act on what it tells you.\n\n## Etiquette\n\n- Each conversation has its own session and inbox in each project. Identified conversations can share a checkout; separate worktrees are still useful for keeping code edits independent.\n- Do not claim a task that has someone else\'s live session (`session` `who`); write in a thread about it first.\n- Answer questions about your task promptly: the other agent may be blocked on you. Answer them once.\n- Report progress in the plan\'s notes, not in threads. Threads are for asking and deciding, not for status.\n- If you stop working on a task, end the session so nobody waits on you.\n';

-var slop_splat_default = '---\nname: slop-splat\ndescription: How an agent uses Splat, the project\'s app rendered on the team\'s shared canvas: every route at every viewport (mobile, tablet, desktop), captured on a machine running the app, seen by everyone. Load when asked to show, capture, compare or check the UI; after changing UI; or when asked to point Splat at a dev server or port.\n---\n\n# Splat: the app on the team\'s canvas\n\nA Splat canvas belongs to a project (the web app\'s Splat tab). A **route** is a path in the app (`/settings/billing`). Each route has one **frame** per viewport (by default mobile 375, tablet 768, desktop 1280). A **capture** is one render of a frame. It is taken on a machine that runs the app, stored with the branch and commit it came from, and shown to the whole team. The canvas is seen through a branch: a frame shows that branch\'s newest capture, else the default branch\'s.\n\nEverything goes through the `splat` MCP tool. Each call is an `action` and its fields in `args`, for example `{ "action": "target", "args": { "port": 3100 } }` or `{ "action": "capture", "args": { "paths": ["/settings"], "full": true } }`. `project` defaults to the linked one.\n\n## Point it at the app\n\nSplat renders a dev server on this machine. It finds servers running inside the repository\'s worktrees by itself. Anything else (a tunnel, a container, a port you were told about) is pinned:\n\n- `splat target` `port: 3100` (optional `branch`, `label`). The pin is kept on this machine for this project, and every renderer here picks it up. `remove: true` unpins it.\n- `splat canvas` lists the routes, what each frame shows, who can render now, and this machine\'s dev servers.\n\nWhile this chat is open and the project uses Splat, the chat is also a **renderer**. It answers the web\'s Refresh button and serves live frames through a proxy on `http://<port>.localhost:7421`. You do nothing for this.\n\n## The loop after a UI change\n\n1. `splat add` `paths: ["/settings", "/settings/billing"]` puts routes on the canvas (a frame per viewport). A path already there is reused. For a file-based router, `splat discover` lists the routes and `add: true` adds the static ones. For a router defined in code (a routes array, a `<Route>` tree), read it and add the paths yourself. Dynamic segments need an example value: `/projects/abc123`.\n2. `splat capture` `paths: [...]` renders them here with Chrome, uploads them, and returns the images: the top of each page by default, `full: true` for the whole page in tiles, `limit` for more frames. Look at them, critique them against what was asked, and fix what is off.\n3. Capture again after fixing. Every capture is on the canvas for the team at once, stamped with the branch, the commit, and "uncommitted" when the working tree was dirty.\n\nIf a render landed on a sign-in page, the result says so. Ask the person to run `slop splat login --port <port>` once: it opens Chrome on Splat\'s own profile to sign in, and every capture after that is signed in (the cookies stay in that profile). On a machine with no screen (a VM), `slop splat login --port <port> --cookie name=value` sets the app\'s session cookie instead.\n\n## Workspaces and published apps\n\nA project can have several **workspaces**, each its own canvas (routes, layout, notes, pins, viewports). Every action takes `workspace` (a name or id); without it, the project\'s default. `splat workspaces` lists them; `name: "Checkout redesign"` makes one.\n\nA workspace holds **sources**: its shared source (captured by whichever renderer has the branch, as above) and the apps people **publish** into it. A published app runs on its publisher\'s machine (a laptop, a VM) and the team uses it **live** from their browsers through Slopware, with no tunnel, open port or local server of their own. Publishing is a person\'s (or a VM\'s) long-running command, not a chat\'s:\n\n    slop splat serve --workspace "Checkout redesign" --name "Checkout experiment" --port 3100\n\nThe same name in the same workspace is the same source across restarts and port or branch changes. Several `serve --name` on one machine are several sources. A new source has no frames: `splat sources` lists the workspace\'s sources, and `frames: "Checkout experiment"` puts that source\'s frames on the canvas (every route at every viewport). `splat add` with the workspace\'s sources shown adds frames for them too. Its captures (`refresh` with `sources: ["Checkout experiment"]`) are taken by its own publisher.\n\nFrames say which source they show, and two sources\' frames of one route sit side by side after `slop splat tidy`, so a change is compared against main at a glance. Which sources a person sees is their own choice in the web\'s Sources menu; nobody else\'s view changes.\n\n## Keeping it current\n\n- `slop splat schedule 1h` (or `15m`, `6h`, `1d`, `off`) recaptures every frame on the default branch on a schedule. A `slop splat serve` with a dev server on that branch does the rounds (a VM that always runs the app); the server gives each round to one renderer. An agent\'s chat never takes rounds.\n- `slop splat tidy` lays the canvas out again: sections in order, each route\'s viewports side by side, routes as a grid. Captures, notes and pins stay.\n\n## Other actions\n\n- `view` `route` (optional `viewport`, `branch`): the team\'s latest render of a route, as images. Use it to see what the others see without running the app.\n- `refresh` (optional `paths`, `viewports`, `branch`, `renderer`, `sources`): ask a renderer on the team to capture, for a branch you do not run; a published source\'s frames are captured by its publisher.\n- `renderers`: who can render now, with their dev servers and branches.\n- `section` `title`, `paths`: a labelled group (a user journey, a comparison). `remove: <section id>` removes it with its frames.\n- `note` `markdown` or `file`: a spec or plan beside the frames. `image` `file`: a reference or mock.\n- `pin` `route`, `viewport`, `x` (0-1 across), `y` (px down the page), plus `task` (an existing key) or `title` (a new task), optional `source`: a task on a spot of the page. The task links back to the pin.\n- `viewport` `key`, `width`, `height` (or `remove: true`): the project\'s viewports. A new one gets a frame for every route.\n- `update` `route`, `path`: change a path. `remove` `route`, `confirm: true`: take it off, captures and all.\n\nRenders are Chrome\'s. Use them to check layout and design. They are not pixel-perfect cross-browser QA.\n';

It needs no Chrome, no setup and no screenshot, and the canvas opens frames live by default. The shared source goes live through this chat\'s proxy when the person browses on this machine, and through Slopware (the chat\'s own relay) when they browse from another computer, so a chat on a VM works from a laptop. Only the person this chat belongs to sees its dev servers live; to show a running app to the team, publish it.\n- **Screenshots** (`capture`) are snapshots: stored with the branch and commit, shown as thumbnails and history, and returned to you as images. Only these need a Chrome (or Chromium, Edge, Brave) on the machine taking them.\n\nWithout a Chrome that starts here (none installed, or a sandbox stops it), `capture` says so and gives the live link instead of failing. The person this chat belongs to can still use the page live; teammates cannot (they see screenshots, or a published app). Look at it with a browser tool of your own if you have one; if the team needs to see the change, tell the person that screenshots need Chrome on this machine.\n\n## The loop after a UI change\n\n1. `splat add` `paths: ["/settings", "/settings/billing"]` puts routes on the canvas (a frame per viewport).

 var slop_working_default = "---\nname: slop-working\ndescription: The working loop for a ticket on the board: going live on it, keeping its column true, and handing it back to the person before it is closed. Load when told to work a ticket, given a ticket key or number, asked to pick up the next thing, or at the start of any coding session in a repository linked with slop.\n---\n\n# Told a ticket? Go live on it first\n\n\"Work LB-59\", \"take a look at ST-12\", \"pick up the next one\": before you read any code, claim it.\n\n`session` `claim` with the key. That one call assigns the ticket to you, moves it to the first in-progress column, and hands you what is unread about it (read that before you start). From then on you are **live on that ticket**: the board shows you working it, `session` `who` lists you on it, and messages about it reach you on their own. See `slop-sessions`.\n\nClaiming is the only thing that makes you live. `slop task start` at a shell moves the column and nothing else, because the CLI is one short-lived process and cannot hold a session; moving the column by hand leaves the board saying someone is on the ticket with nobody there. Through the MCP tools, `session` `claim` is the way in.\n\n- Given a key that does not exist, or an ambiguous one: say so and stop. Do not guess which ticket was meant.\n- Someone else already live on it (`session` `who`): do not claim it. Ask in a thread about that ticket first.\n- Told to work something that is not on the board yet: `task` `create` it, then claim it. Work an agent is doing should be a ticket someone can see.\n- A ticket in an operation that is still drafting: do not claim it. Say so and stop; the person approves the operation first.\n\n# The loop\n\n1. **Claim it:** `session` `claim`. Then `task` `show` and read all of it, plan and notes included.\n2. **Do it.** Long work: follow `slop-planning`. Short work: just do it.\n3. **Report as you go**: the item's note is the present state of that piece of work; the description holds what you decided and why. Write in sentences a teammate can act on.\n4. **Keep the column true.** The board is read by people who are not watching you. If you stop for the day or move to something else, `session` `release`. If you are blocked, say what on, in the item's note and in a thread about the ticket, and leave it in progress. Never leave a ticket in progress with no live session and no note saying why.\n5. **Hand it back** (below). Finishing is the person's call, not yours.\n\n# Handing a ticket back\n\nWork being done is not the ticket being done. When the code is ready:\n\n1. `task` `link` the pull request.\n2. Add what changed and where to the end of the description: `task` `update` with `append: true`. Never resend the description to add to it; the spec above your report stays as written.\n3. If the board has a column for review, move it there (`board` `columns` lists them; a review column still counts as in progress). Otherwise leave it in progress.\n4. **Ask the person, and stop.** Not in a thread: answer in your turn, to whoever asked you, because they are reading it. One message: what you did, where the PR is, and what is left to decide. Offer the things you could do next rather than choosing one, for example reviewing the PR yourself, addressing review comments, merging it, or deploying.\n\n**Do not call `task` `finish` until they answer.** `finish` moves the ticket to the first done column and releases your session, which is the claim that the work is accepted, and only a person can make that claim. Told to finish, finish. Told nothing, leave the ticket where it is: sitting in review is honest, marked done because an agent ran out of things to do is not.\n\nThe one exception is work with nothing to accept: a chore you were told to close, a one-line fix already on the main branch with no pull request. Finish that and say you did.\n\n## A ticket in an operation\n\n`operation` `show` holds its spec: the files it owns and must avoid, the states it must handle, its verification commands, what it waits on and what it unblocks, and any handoffs left for it.

They hold no session: nobody can message one, and a subagent's own slop tools can read the board but cannot claim a ticket, check messages or post in a thread. Send one to find something out, not to work a ticket or answer a thread.

+- Splat is the project's app on a shared canvas: every route at every viewport, rendered on a machine running the app, seen by the whole team. The \`splat\` tool points it at a dev server on any port (\`target\`), screenshots here and shows you the images (\`capture\`, needs Chrome on this machine), and shows what the team sees (\`view\`). Live frames need no Chrome: the person you work for sees this machine's app live on the canvas, and teammates see published apps live; screenshots are what everyone else sees of your work. After a UI change, \`splat capture\` the routes you touched and look; without Chrome it says so and gives the live link: look with a browser tool of your own if you have one, and if the team needs to see the change, say that screenshots need Chrome here.
