Droid crew checklist

48 checks

Run the work off one board

  • A waiting card says what it waits on

    Check
    Open every card in the scheduled lane.
    Pass
    The first line is Waiting on: #n or Not before: <date>. A card with neither goes back to triage on its own.

  • Dependencies are real links

    Check
    Open a card that waits on another.
    Pass
    The tracker shows a native blocked-by or sub-issue link, not a sentence in the body.

What’s in the checklist

Every item says how to check it and what passing looks like. Every one is a rule my own crew runs on, most of them written the day something broke. Tick them off as you go, or paste the whole list into your agent.

  8. 8Watch the crew without babysitting it6

Why I made it

I run ZeroPhase, Situation and RepSheet with a crew of AI agents that pick up cards, build, review each other and merge while I do something else. The same things go wrong in every repo: a card no agent can finish, a review that believes the PR body, a dev server nobody stopped.

This is the list I work from. Every check is something you can run yourself in a minute.
