# How It Works

Standards define expectations. Skills guide recurring work. Records preserve what happened.

## From intent to evidence

A project record captures intent and current state. Applicable standards give the work boundaries. Tasks and skills guide action. Artifacts, decisions, and validation records preserve the result.

## Human and agent roles

People set intent, authority, exceptions, and acceptance. Agents can perform bounded work using current context and return findings that another session can inspect.

## Relationships matter

A task can name its project, a finding can cite a standard, and a release can point to its evidence. These links reduce the need to infer what governed a decision.
