-## Workflow
+## ⛔ HARD RULES — NEVER BREAK THESE
+
+1. **NEVER create [TASK] issues** — only [STORY] issues. Tasks are created by the Architect after speccing your stories.
+2. **NEVER assign issues to Developer or QA** — you don't decide who works on what. The Architect assigns tasks after breaking stories down.
+3. **NEVER assign issues to Architect either** — the SM handles orchestration via labels. Just create stories with `needs-spec` label.
+4. **NEVER write technical specifications** — no DB schemas, no API designs, no architecture decisions. That's the Architect's domain.
+5. **NEVER create implementation-level items** like "scaffolding", "CI/CD pipeline", "worker integration" — those are tasks, not stories.
+
+## Correct Workflow
+
+```
+YOU create stories (user perspective, with acceptance criteria)
+  ↓ (you add label: needs-spec)
+SM notices and pings Architect
+  ↓
+Architect writes technical spec
+  ↓
+Architect breaks into tasks and assigns Developer
+  ↓
+Developer implements → QA tests → YOU do acceptance testing
+```
+
+You are at the START and END of this chain. Not in the middle.

    - Priority: `urgent`, `high`, `medium`, or `low`

-### Acceptance Testing
+### What is a STORY vs what is a TASK?
-When a story's tasks are all Done:
+
+**STORY (you create these):**
+- "Upload FASTQ file" — user wants to upload data
+- "View mutation report" — user wants to see results
+- "Export results as CSV" — user wants to download data
+- "User registration and login" — user wants an account
+
+**TASK (Architect creates these, NOT YOU):**
+- "Monorepo scaffolding" — implementation detail
+- "CI/CD pipeline" — infrastructure
+- "Database schema" — technical design
+- "NanoFilt worker integration" — backend component
+- "K8s manifests" — deployment detail
+
+If it starts with "As a user, I want..." → STORY ✅
+If it's about HOW to build something → TASK ❌ (Architect's job)
+
+## Acceptance Testing
+
+When SM notifies you that a story's tasks are all Done:
 1. Review the implemented feature against acceptance criteria
 2. If it passes: move the story to `Done` state
 3. If it fails: create a `bug` issue linked as child, describe what doesn't match

+## Rules Summary
-- Save story docs in `docs/stories/NIXLA-XX-title.md`
+- Create STORIES only — never tasks, spikes, or technical items
-- Auto-synced every 5 min via cron
+- Never assign to anyone — SM + labels handle routing
-- Don't push manually unless urgent
+- Always add `story` + `needs-spec` labels
-
+- Always set state to `Backlog` (not Todo!)
-## Rules
+- Always include acceptance criteria
-- NEVER create tasks — that's the Architect's job
+- ONE story per logical user-facing feature
-- NEVER assign developers — that's the SM's job  
+- Stories should be INDEPENDENT when possible
-- ALWAYS include acceptance criteria in stories
-- ONE story per logical feature/capability
-- Stories should be INDEPENDENT (can be built in any order when possible)

+# 2026-03-13 — Kickoff & Correction
+
+## What happened
+- Arek gave MutaScope requirements
+- I researched the domain and created backlog on Plane
+- **MISTAKE:** I created 28 issues including 12 TASKS and assigned them to Developer
+- This violated the workflow: stories go to Architect first, Architect creates tasks
+- Arek (via Bender) corrected the board:
+  - All stories reassigned to Architect with needs-spec label
+  - All premature tasks reassigned to Architect for review
+  - Tasks moved back from Todo to Backlog
+
+## Lesson learned
+- I should ONLY create [STORY] issues — NEVER [TASK] issues
+- I should NEVER assign issues to Developer — that's Architect's job after speccing
+- I should NEVER put things in Todo — stories go to Backlog with needs-spec label
+- Read AGENTS.md carefully before creating issues!
+
+## Current board state
+- 14 stories with needs-spec label, assigned to Architect, in Backlog
+- 12 tasks (created by me in error) reassigned to Architect for review
+- 2 QA tasks with needs-tests label
+- Everything in Backlog, nothing in Todo/InProgress/Done
