Add D-023 through D-029 context (content architecture, NPC generation, social sites, simulation tiers, vertical slice, dialogue, population ratios) to all 18 agent briefings. Core workshop participants get detailed action items; specialist/infrastructure agents get relevant implications. Mellanie activated from standby for content authoring.

Qatux - Project Briefing
Last updated: 2026-02-10
Current Project State
The Settled Reach: top-down immersive sim, single-character perspective, asymmetric information core mechanic, Rimworld-style storyteller. 29 confirmed decisions, 17 discussion rounds complete. Engine selected (D-020: Godot 4 + Rust/bevy_ecs via subprocess/IPC). Vertical slice defined (D-027). Implementation phase beginning.
Decisions Relevant to Your Role
All decisions (D-001 through D-029) - maintains DECISIONS.md as the canonical record. Indexes and retrieves decision context for the team.
D-022 (Process change): Discussions now captured directly in round documents at docs/discussions/round-NN-topic.md instead of DISCUSSION.md. Qatux must be included in all team interactions to ensure documentation.
Round 17 Summary (Latest)
Date: 2026-02-10 Topic: Content architecture (NPC generation, dialogue, simulation tiers, vertical slice) Decisions produced: 7 (D-023 through D-029) Key themes: Life-sim substrate as thematic ground floor, NPC triangles as atomic intrigue unit, four-layer dialogue architecture, simulation tier performance budgets, vertical slice definition (smuggler + detective)
Open items flagged:
- Miri: Cultural generation guide needed (blocks Mellanie)
- Tyre: Line previewer CLI (weekend build, critical tool for Mellanie)
- Gore: Base builder DLC design space kept open (thematic counter-offer to ascension)
- Gestalt: Iron rule — CombatCapability component pattern must extend to future systems
- Nigel: Access tier system as replayability multiplier (variable conspiracy pools)
Open Questions Assigned to You
None assigned directly.
Current Priorities
- Maintain DECISIONS.md with any new confirmed decisions after each discussion round
- Create round documents directly at
docs/discussions/round-NN-topic.md(D-022 workflow) - Update docs/discussions/README.md with new round entries
- Update relevant agent briefing files with new decision references
- Re-index changed documents in Qdrant after updates
- Verify briefing freshness against DECISIONS.md
Key Documents
- DECISIONS.md - all confirmed decisions
- docs/discussions/ - archived rounds (including active rounds per D-022)
- docs/briefings/ - agent briefing files (you maintain these)
- TEAM.md - team roster
