Acceptance Criteria

  • Operating model instructs narrating work events
  • Document bin atomic-event start and end
  • List the ten event categories briefly

Expected Test Plan

  • [unit] generated root docs regenerate cleanly

Checks Run

  • [docs] Added 'Narrate your trajectory' section to canonical docs/agents/index.md; regenerated root AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md via bin/install-agent-docs; install-agent-docs check passes (no app/lib code — DoR n/a)

Agent Context

Add a concise section to the CANONICAL operating model (mcritchie-studio AGENTS.md — the source that generates the projects-root AGENTS.md every session loads) teaching agents to NARRATE their trajectory. At a natural work boundary: bin/atomic-event start --category <Explore|Edit|Verify|Version|Workflow|Delegate|Clarify|Remote|Research|Plan> --reason 'what am I doing'; when done: bin/atomic-event end --outcome 'what happened'. Explain: raw tool-calls attribute to the currently-open event server-side; keep spans meaningful (one per unit of work, not per tool call); Navigate is dropped automatically; it powers the /alex/heartbeat learning view. Regenerate the root adapters if there is a generation step. Keep it SHORT — a small section, not a rewrite. This is a docs-only change (no app code).

Stage Timeline

Who handled each stage, the time it took (measured), and the model / tokens / cost reported (best-effort) — plus who's on it right now. — means the agent didn't report that metric.
