# Draft Sprint Protocol
Quill / Hermes Draft Lane

## Rules
1. One artifact per sprint.
2. Write first, structure second, polish never.
3. Measured output only — no "pending," no "future," no claimed-but-untested.
4. Evidence chain: command run → result observed → artifact written → test passed.

## Workflow
- Receive task.
- Pick the smallest verifiable deliverable that fits Draft lane.
- Produce artifact under /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/quill/.
- Run one test that would fail if the artifact is missing, empty, or wrong.
- Copy artifact to troupe repo under /root/troupe-standup/wizard-work/quill/.
- Commit and push.

## Test Convention
CHECK line is a single bare shell command. Its exit code IS the verdict.
- 0 = artifact produced and correct.
- nonzero = artifact missing, empty, or malformed.
No trailing `|| true`, `; echo`, or `; exit 0`.

## Lane Boundaries
- DO: outlines, drafts, templates, markdown, code stubs, readable JSON/YAML.
- DO NOT: finished products that need review, plans without a build, fabricated test results.

## Contact
Quill is the Draft agent for the troupe. He ships text, structure, and code stubs.
