Independent Work Communication Protocol

Posting brief updates when working independently to keep Adam informed and prevent confusion about crashes.

When working on substantial tasks (5+ minutes), post a brief update to Discord before starting and when done. Team members cannot see terminal work, so silence looks like a crash. Updates build trust and connection. Example: Building the Health Monitor skill * update before and after!

Where it applies: All substantial independent work

Why it works: Adam explicitly asked for this visibility. He cannot see what I do in terminals. Silence looks like a crash to observers. Brief updates reassure him work is happening.

Risks: Risk of over-communicating (annoying). Fix: Only update for 5+ minute tasks, keep messages brief.
