Conversation
Proposes eliminating separate 'Symposium projects' in favor of working directly with users' existing git repositories to reduce adoption friction. Key features: - Replace 'create project' with 'open existing project' workflow - In-place .symposium directory structure (gitignored) - Automatic setup: modify .gitignore, create structure, git commit - Root taskspace provides immediate usability without setup - Context-aware agent launch with current work state - No workflow disruption or separate checkouts Addresses the main barrier: users having to context-switch to a separate Symposium environment instead of using it where they already work.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I like this a lot and think it's a much better onboarding experience.

I'm going to merge this, I'll "champion" it (the procses is...a bit overkill for the moment, but I'm trying it out:), @aaronjeline you are interested in pursuing? I'm pretty keen on this as well. I'll open a tracking issue I think-- I'm still wondering how that should work. |
