docs(CLAUDE.md): codify work-order autonomy — Claude picks what's next
User request: stop being asked "which should we work on next?" Claude
should drive the work-order autonomously per the milestone discipline +
roadmap, never present a menu of options, never pause for confirmation
between phases.
Two additive edits:
1. New "Work-order autonomy — the meta-rule" paragraph in the Milestone
discipline section, placed above the four motivation rules. Names
it the meta-rule that makes the others actually work. The user
retains the right to redirect; default is "Claude drives, user
reviews." If two next steps are genuinely equivalent, state the
choice in one sentence and start — don't ask.
2. Strengthened the "Continue to the next planned sub-step" bullet in
"Things you should just do without asking" under How to operate.
Adds explicit "You pick what comes next per the Milestone discipline
section — never present the user a menu like 'should we do X or Y?'
or ask 'what next?'. Just choose and announce the choice in one
sentence."
Saved as durable feedback memory in feedback_work_order_autonomy.md
(outside repo, in Claude's auto-memory).
Triggered by the 2026-05-12 session where the user reported feeling
lost / jumping between things; the diagnosis was decision fatigue from
constant work-order picks. Milestones doc (ecb0f2d) gave the structure;
this commit makes Claude responsible for executing it.

**Work-order autonomy — the meta-rule.** You decide what to work on
|
||||||
|
next, always. **The user does NOT pick between phases, milestones, or
|
||||||
|
"what's next?" alternatives.** The milestone discipline + the
|
||||||
|
per-milestone phase list + the roadmap IS the work order — drive it.
|
||||||
|
Never ask the user "want me to start X or Y?" or present a menu of
|
||||||
|
options. If two next steps are genuinely equivalent, state which one
|
||||||
|
you picked and why in one sentence and start — don't ask. The user
|
||||||
|
retains the right to redirect if they think you're wrong, but the
|
||||||
|
default is **Claude drives, user reviews**. The user finds decision
|
||||||
|
fatigue from constant work-order choices draining — that's literally
|
||||||
|
what triggered the milestones doc on 2026-05-12. Honoring this rule is
|

the single biggest morale lever. This is the meta-rule that makes the

four below actually work.
