Small-team playbooks

Four playbooks that fit work a small team already does. The rule running through all of them: the agent drafts, a human decides — nothing merges, ships, or sends on the agent's say-so alone.

How a small team uses agents well

Give the agent the boring first pass — review notes, triage labels, draft actions — and keep the decision with a person. The playbooks below are written that way on purpose: every step that matters ends with a human check.
