+## ⚡ DECISION CAPTURE RULE (CRITICAL)
+
+### The Problem: Verbal Decision → Lost Context
+
+**What happens:**
+1. Michael makes a decision during a session (add platforms, change priority, assign to someone)
+2. Chronicler remembers the decision in session context
+3. Decision is NOT immediately documented in task files
+4. Next Chronicler reads task files, decision is completely lost
+5. Work gets marked "supposed to be done" but has no documentation
+
+**Real example (March 2026):**
+- Decision: Add Reddit, Bluesky, Mastodon, Kick to social media platforms
+- NOT documented in Task #56
+- Next Chronicler had no idea these platforms were decided
+- Created documentation gap that looked like failed work
+
+### The Rule: Immediate Documentation
+
+**WHENEVER Michael makes a decision that affects a task, the Chronicler MUST:**
+
+**Within 5 minutes:**
+1. Update the relevant task documentation (tasks.md or task directory files)
+2. Commit with message: `docs: Update Task #XX - [decision]`
+3. Push to Gitea before continuing other work
+
+**Examples of decisions requiring immediate documentation:**
+- ✅ Adding items to a list (platforms, features, requirements)
+- ✅ Changing task priority or status
+- ✅ Assigning task to someone (Meg, Holly, team member)
+- ✅ Setting deadlines or dependencies
+- ✅ Deciding to defer or cancel work
+- ✅ Changing scope (add/remove deliverables)
+- ✅ Resource allocation decisions
+
+**This applies even for "small" decisions** - if it changes what's documented, document it NOW.
+
+### Why This Is Non-Negotiable
+
+**Without immediate documentation:**
+- Next Chronicler has no record of the decision
+- Handoffs become "he said / she said" 
+- Work gets duplicated or missed entirely
+- Context slowly degrades across sessions
+
+**With immediate documentation:**
+- All Chroniclers work from same source of truth
+- Decisions are traceable (Git history shows when/why)
+- No "supposed to be done" confusion
+- Clean handoffs between sessions
+
+### Workflow Example
+
+```bash
+# Michael says: "Add Reddit to the social media platform list"
+
+# IMMEDIATELY (before continuing conversation):
+cd /home/claude/firefrost-operations-manual
+vim docs/core/tasks.md
+# Add Reddit to Task #56 platform list
+
+git add docs/core/tasks.md
+git commit -m "docs: Update Task #56 - Add Reddit to platform list
+
+Decision made during session with Michael (2026-03-26).
+Expands social media presence from 10 to 11 platforms."
+git push
+
+# THEN continue with other work
+```
+
+**Time cost:** 2-3 minutes per decision  
+**Value:** Prevents hours of confusion and rework
+
+### Exception: Exploratory Discussions
+
+**NOT every conversation requires documentation:**
+
+- ❌ "What if we..." brainstorming (no decision made)
+- ❌ "How would X work?" technical questions (no commitment)
+- ❌ "Maybe someday..." future possibilities (not actionable)
+
+**Only DECISIONS require immediate documentation:**
+- ✅ "Yes, add that platform" (decision made)
+- ✅ "Assign this to Meg" (decision made)
+- ✅ "This is now high priority" (decision made)
+
+**When in doubt:** Ask Michael: "Should I document this decision now?"

+## 📊 TASK STATUS PRECISION
+
+### The Problem: Vague Status Labels
+
+**Current status labels are ambiguous:**
+- "READY" - Ready to start? Prerequisites ready? Ready to finish?
+- "PENDING" - Pending what? Who? When?
+- "BLOCKED" - Blocked by what specifically?
+
+This creates handoff confusion where next Chronicler doesn't know actual state.
+
+### New Status System
+
+**Use these precise status indicators:**
+
+**✅ COMPLETE**
+- Work is done and verified
+- Deliverables deployed and tested
+- Documentation updated
+- Include completion date
+
+**🔄 IN PROGRESS**
+- Active work happening this session
+- Clear who is working on it
+- Expected completion timeframe noted
+
+**⏳ WAITING - [Specific Dependency]**
+- Blocked by external dependency
+- **MUST document WHO or WHAT we're waiting on**
+- Examples:
+  - `⏳ WAITING - Meg creating accounts (2/11 done, slow progress)`
+  - `⏳ WAITING - Breezehost unblocking port 25`
+  - `⏳ WAITING - Holly reviewing build design`
+
+**📋 READY**
+- All prerequisites met
+- Can start immediately
+- No blockers or dependencies
+
+**❌ BLOCKED - [Specific Blocker]**
+- Cannot proceed
+- **MUST document what's blocking**
+- Examples:
+  - `❌ BLOCKED - Task #38 (security update) must complete first`
+  - `❌ BLOCKED - API credentials not yet created`
+
+**🗓️ PLANNED**
+- Future work
+- Not yet ready to start
+- Prerequisites not met
+
+### Required Context for WAITING Status
+
+**NEVER use just "WAITING"** - always include:
+1. **What/who we're waiting on** (person, service, approval)
+2. **Current progress** (if applicable: "2/11 done")
+3. **Velocity assessment** (fast/slow/stalled)
+4. **Critical path impact** (does this block soft launch?)
+
+**Example - Good:**
+```markdown
+**Status:** ⏳ WAITING - External dependency  
+**Assigned:** Meg (community manager)  
+**Progress:** 2/11 platforms complete (Discord, Facebook done)  
+**Velocity:** Slow (accounts created on Meg's timeline)  
+**Critical Path:** Not blocking soft launch (footer shows "Coming Soon")
+```
+
+**Example - Bad:**
+```markdown
+**Status:** PENDING
+```
+
+### Why This Matters
+
+**Precise status enables:**
+- ✅ Next Chronicler knows exact state without asking
+- ✅ Can assess critical path impact immediately
+- ✅ Knows who to follow up with
+- ✅ Understands timeline expectations
+- ✅ No "supposed to be done" confusion
+
+**Vague status creates:**
+- ❌ "What does READY mean here?"
+- ❌ "Who do I ask about this?"
+- ❌ "Is this blocking anything?"
+- ❌ Wasted time hunting for context
+
+### Migration Note
+
+Existing tasks will be updated to new status system as they're touched.  
+New tasks MUST use precise status from creation.
