 "title": "Set up agent coordination in an existing repo",
 "page_title": "How to set up agent coordination in an existing repo with Pullboard",
 "summary": "Run Pullboard init in a git repo so a coordinator agent can take your requirements and fan out work.",
 "who": "A developer with an existing project who wants Claude Code or Codex to build new features from written requirements.",
 "problem": "Each new agent session starts without the decisions you already made, so you end up re-explaining the project every time.",
 "outcome": "The repo holds an approved spec, doctrine, agent instructions and a board, and one coordinator agent leads the work.",
 "steps": [
  "`npm i -g pullboard`",
  "`pullboard init`",
  "`git add -A && git commit -m \"chore(repo): set up pullboard\"`",
  "Open Claude Code in the repo and describe what to build. That agent becomes your coordinator."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the git repo <path>, run `pullboard init`, then commit the files it wrote with `git add -A && git commit -m \"chore(repo): set up pullboard\"`. Report the files created and confirm that SPEC.md and DOCTRINE.md exist at the repo root.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code",
  "codex"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the gate must be a command that proves your code, so you still need to set Pullboard.json for your stack before work can be submitted.",
