Sprint 29: Body Catalog — Copy Team Briefing

Sprint goal: Complete body catalogs for all 258 remaining systems across all corridors. Agents: Miri (naming), Paula (narrative review), Ozzie (astrophysical + experience review) Scope: 258 systems, hops 4-12, all 5 corridors

Pipeline

Each system follows the /atlas author-system pipeline:

1. Read wiki (index.md + gttr.md) — build context
2. Generate astrophysical skeleton — tooling/atlas author "{system_id}"
3. Spawn Miri for naming — wiki-derived register, collision avoidance
4. Paula narrative review — names, population, stations vs wiki coherence
5. Paula + Ozzie dual review — narrative integrity + astrophysical sanity
6. Integrity check — automated verification
7. Commit — one system per git commit

See .claude/skills/atlas/references/author-system.md for full details.

Work Order

Process by corridor, hop-order within each corridor (closest to Gateway first). 5 parallel tracks can run simultaneously on separate worktree branches.

Track	Story	Corridor	Systems	Hop Range
A	#739	North Reach	43	4-12
B	#740	South Reach	47	4-10
C	#741	East Reach	47	4-10
D	#742	West Reach	48	4-11
E	#743	Deep Frontier	73	5-12

Use tooling/atlas next {hop} to get the system list per hop. Use tooling/atlas unfinished to see all remaining systems.

PR Strategy

One PR per corridor track. Each track runs on its own worktree branch. ~50 systems per PR is reviewable; 258 in one PR is not.

Branch	PR scope
copy-north	Track A: 43 north_reach systems
copy-south	Track B: 47 south_reach systems
copy-east	Track C: 47 east_reach systems
copy-west	Track D: 48 west_reach systems
copy-frontier	Track E: 73 deep_frontier systems

Merge order: any order, but run name collision check before each merge.

Quality Standards (from hops 0-3)

• Body count: G/F stars 8+, K stars 7+, M dwarfs 6+, A/B stars 6+
• Always include: oort cloud, asteroid belt, gas giant (most systems), horizon station
• Names: Inhabited bodies + all stations get proper_name. Uninhabited bodies = null. Wiki names override Miri.
• Population: Hub 1-5B, junction 500M-2B, loop/through 200M-1B, dead end 10M-500M. Adjust for wave + role.
• No translations in notes — translations flatten names into labels
• One commit per system — never batch
