Conversation
Introduces a new page in the build section framing GitHub as the medium for human dot-connecting, not just code delivery. Agent prompts woven throughout to handle scanning and boilerplate, freeing human attention for cross-functional connections and surfacing latent decisions. Two versions saved: v1 (engineering hygiene framing) in drafts/ and the current ABCD-centered reframe in build/.

What this is
A new page in
build/— GitHub workflow — framing GitHub as the medium for human dot-connecting, not just code delivery.Why
We don't have a code writing velocity problem. Agents can write and review code. The bottleneck is human attention: making cross-functional connections, surfacing assumptions, identifying the decision points hiding inside what looks like implementation detail.
The page runs that idea through every section — issues, PRs, code review, milestones — with ABCD (Always Be Connecting Dots) as the through-line. Agent prompts are woven in so the scanning and queue management are handled, freeing humans for the conversations only humans can have.
Notes for reviewers
drafts/github-workflow-v1.mdhas an earlier version with a more traditional engineering hygiene framing. Keeping it around in case elements are worth pulling back in.build/section for now.Not yet done
drafts/should be gitignored or kept
