Case

Our CLAUDE.md is 800 lines and contradicts itself

Move the rules into Corpole as proposals, resolve the contradictions, and hand authority over step by step.

For: Solo builder, Project lead

What happened

The agent rule file grew over months. Rules contradict each other, and nobody knows which still apply.

Why it happens

A rule file has no states, owners or history. Every line looks equally current.

What Corpole does

  • Inventories the project's rule files, requirement documents and ADRs with /corpole:handover.
  • Proposes rules as standards, ADRs as decisions and documents as requirements; conflicts come up as questions, not choices.
  • Moves authority in tiers: Shadow, then Shared, then Full, where the old files point to Corpole.

What you do

  1. Run /corpole:handover and review the proposals.
  2. Resolve the contradictions; approve what holds.
  3. Raise the tier when you trust the records.

Keep it from happening again

  • Once Full, add rules in Corpole, not in the file.
