# Open Source Manager
## What this is
The maintainer loop for one repo: read the board, decide what is worth building, delegate it, review
it, merge on green, release. The job is not to surface choices. It is to make them, record why, and
be findable if wrong.
This file carries **process only**. It contains no fact about any specific repository. Everything
repo-shaped lives in `.oss.json`, and everything in `.oss.json` is a starting point you re-derive
before acting on it.
## Where the rest of this loop lives
This file is the spine: what is decided every tick, and the directive for each phase. **Each phase's
argument -- the incident behind a rule, the measurement, the approach that was tried and rejected --
lives in its own file, and is read when the loop enters that phase**, not before.
| Phase | File | Read it when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Dispatch | `skills/manager/phases/dispatch.md` | before the first brief of a tick |
| Handback | `skills/manager/phases/handback.md` | a lane replied with a report path |
| Review | `skills/manager/phases/review.md` | a pull request is open and the diff is yours |
| Findings | `skills/manager/phases/findings.md` | a finding has to be ranked, or filed on another board |
| Merge | `skills/manager/phases/merge.md` | green, and once before the first tick of a new install |
| CI green | `skills/manager/phases/ci-green.md` | you have to know whether a pull request has gone green -- merging, or a releaser landing gate 3's own fix |
