Mission Control Setup Instructions

Reference document for adding Flight Control methodology to any project.

How Triple-C Installs Mission Control

When Mission Control is enabled for a project in Triple-C:

1. Bundled files install: The Mission Control files bundled with Triple-C are copied to /home/claude/mission-control/ (persisted in the config volume)
2. Skills install: All skills from the bundled .claude/skills/ are copied to ~/.claude/skills/ so Claude Code discovers them automatically as /slash-commands
3. Workspace symlink: /workspace/mission-control/ symlinks to the installed copy for methodology doc access
4. Global instructions: Mission Control usage instructions are injected into ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md

This happens automatically on every container start, so skill updates from new Triple-C releases are picked up on restart.

Two pieces are needed per project:

1. Global CLAUDE.md — Handled automatically by Triple-C when Mission Control is enabled
2. Project CLAUDE.md — Add the Flight Operations section to each project's CLAUDE.md

Then run /init-project to create the .flightops/ directory.

1. Global CLAUDE.md Instructions

These are automatically injected by Triple-C when Mission Control is enabled. For reference, the injected content is:

## Mission Control

The `/workspace/mission-control/` directory contains **Flight Control** — an AI-first development methodology for structured project management. Use it for all project work.

### How It Works

- **Mission Control is a tool, not a project.** It provides skills and methodology for managing other projects.
- All Flight Control skills are installed as personal skills in `~/.claude/skills/` and are automatically available as `/slash-commands`
- The methodology docs and project registry live in `/workspace/mission-control/`

### When to Use

When working on any project that has a `.flightops/` directory, follow the Flight Control methodology:
1. Read the project's `.flightops/ARTIFACTS.md` to understand artifact storage
2. Read `.flightops/FLIGHT_OPERATIONS.md` for the implementation workflow
3. Use Mission Control skills for planning and execution

### Available Skills

| Skill | When to Use |
|-------|-------------|
| `/init-project` | Setting up a new project for Flight Control |
| `/mission` | Defining new work outcomes (days-to-weeks scope) |
| `/flight` | Creating technical specs from missions (hours-to-days scope) |
| `/leg` | Generating implementation steps from flights (minutes-to-hours scope) |
| `/agentic-workflow` | Executing legs with multi-agent workflow (implement, review, commit) |
| `/flight-debrief` | Post-flight analysis after a flight lands |
| `/mission-debrief` | Post-mission retrospective after completion |
| `/daily-briefing` | Cross-project status report |

### Key Rules

- **Planning skills produce artifacts only** — never modify source code directly
- **Phase gates require human confirmation** — missions before flights, flights before legs
- **Legs are immutable once in-flight** — create new ones instead of modifying
- **`/agentic-workflow` orchestrates implementation** — it spawns separate Developer and Reviewer agents
- **Artifacts live in the target project** — not in mission-control

2. Project CLAUDE.md Instructions

Add this section to each project's CLAUDE.md:

## Flight Operations

This project uses Flight Control (bundled with Triple-C) for structured development.

**Before any mission/flight/leg work, read these files in order:**
1. `.flightops/README.md` — What the flightops directory contains
2. `.flightops/FLIGHT_OPERATIONS.md` — **The workflow you MUST follow**
3. `.flightops/ARTIFACTS.md` — Where all artifacts are stored
4. `.flightops/agent-crews/` — Project crew definitions for each phase (read the relevant crew file)

---

3. Initialize the Project

After adding the CLAUDE.md sections, run /init-project from mission-control to:

1. Create the .flightops/ directory with methodology references
2. Configure the artifact system (files or Jira)
3. Set up agent crew definitions
4. Register the project in /workspace/mission-control/projects.md

Quick Checklist for New Projects

• Enable Mission Control for the project in Triple-C (auto-installs skills to ~/.claude/skills/)
• Add Flight Operations section to the project's CLAUDE.md
• Run /init-project from mission-control
• Add the project to /workspace/mission-control/projects.md
• Add .flightops/ to the project's .gitignore (if artifacts should not be committed) or commit it (if they should)
