Operational route

Multi-repo initiative

Carry one durable outcome across repositories without copying project truth or losing which run produced each result.

Route comparison

Same job. A visible operating record.

Without a route record

Cross-repo work becomes one oversized plan, duplicated documentation, and status that cannot be traced back to the owning project.

With Guild Stack

The workspace stores coordination facts, projects keep local runs and knowledge, and the initiative closes only when every leg resolves.

Route stops

Request to verified result.

  1. 01

    Define the durable goal

    Create the initiative and make its acceptance and close gates explicit.

  2. 02

    Classify ownership

    Keep cross-project knowledge at the umbrella and project-specific truth in the child repo.

  3. 03

    Attach runs by choice

    Link each project run to the initiative without changing the run contract.

  4. 04

    Close all three legs

    Resolve execution, release, and docs reconciliation before closure.
