# .devrites/ - DevRites runtime state

This directory holds DevRites feature workspaces. Each feature lives in
`work/<feature-slug>/` as human-readable Markdown (spec, plan, tasks, state,
evidence, drift, decisions, review, seal). It survives context compaction and new
sessions - it is the durable memory of in-flight work.

- `ACTIVE` names the currently active feature slug (or is empty).
- `work/<slug>/` is created by DevRites workflow skills; other phases read it.
- `AFK` is an optional local unattended-mode sentinel.
- `specs/<capability>/spec.md` is the capability ledger and may be shared.

Safe to commit `work/` when the team wants shared feature state. Delete a
feature folder when it is shipped and you no longer need the trail.
