No Refinery automation. Just the core propulsion loop.\n\n## Key Insight: Molecules Are the Logic\n\nGo code is connector/glue. The cognition lives in molecules. When the Deacon\nwakes up, it reads its hook, finds a molecule, and WALKS IT. The molecule\nsays what to do. Go just provides the verbs (spawn, send, close).\n\n## The Propulsion Principle\n\n\u003e If you find something on your hook, YOU RUN IT.\n\nThis is the universal Gas Town rule. Every agent, every wake-up:\n1. Check hook\n2. If mol → execute it\n3. If nothing → wait for assignment\n\n## Critical Path\n\n1. **Slinging Handoff** - `gt sling \u003cbead\u003e` attaches work and restarts\n2. **Hook Execution** - Agent wakes, primes, reads hook, runs hook\n3. **Polecat Work Cycle** - Spawn → work → submit → complete\n4. **Deacon Patrol** - The loop that spawns polecats\n\n## Success Criteria\n\n- `gt sling gt-xxx` restarts agent with work attached\n- Agent wakes up and automatically begins work\n- Single polecat completes one issue end-to-end\n- Deacon can spawn polecats on demand\n\n## Non-Goals (v0.1)\n\n- Autonomous Witness nudging\n- Autonomous Refinery merging\n- Multi-polecat coordination\n- Self-healing from crashes\n\nThese are v0.2+.

+{"id":"gt-qvn7.1","title":"Phase 1: Slinging Handoff","description":"# Phase 1: Slinging Handoff\n\nThe restart-and-resume loop. This is the fundamental propulsion mechanism.\n\n## What It Does\n\n```bash\ngt sling gt-xxx\n```\n\n1. Creates a wisp on the agent's hook containing the bead\n2. Sends handoff mail (optional context)\n3. Triggers session restart (daemon SIGUSR1 or direct respawn)\n4. Fresh Claude wakes up\n5. SessionStart hook runs `gt prime`\n6. Agent reads hook → finds the slung bead\n7. Agent executes the work\n\n## Why Wisp, Not Mol\n\nThe sling is ephemeral scaffolding. It says \"run this bead\" - nothing more.\nOnce the work is picked up, the wisp can be burned. No permanent record needed\nfor the handoff wrapper itself; the actual work is tracked in the bead.\n\n## Implementation\n\n### gt sling command\n\n```go\n// cmd: gt sling \u003cbead-id\u003e [-s subject] [-m message]\nfunc sling(beadID string, subject, message string) {\n    // 1. Create wisp on hook\n    //    - Creates .beads-wisp/hook-\u003cagent\u003e.wisp.yaml\n    //    - Contains: bead_id, slung_at, context\n    \n    // 2. Optional: send handoff mail\n    //    - gt mail send \u003cself\u003e -s \"🤝 HANDOFF: \u003csubject\u003e\" -m \"\u003cmessage\u003e\"\n    \n    // 3. Trigger restart\n    //    - For crew: just exit (human restarts)\n    //    - For polecats: signal daemon (SIGUSR1)\n    //    - For deacon: signal daemon (SIGUSR1)\n}\n```\n\n### Hook Reading in gt prime\n\n```go\n// In gt prime, after loading context:\nfunc checkHook(agent string) *SlungWork {\n    wispPath := \".beads-wisp/hook-\" + agent + \".wisp.yaml\"\n    if exists(wispPath) {\n        return parseWisp(wispPath)\n    }\n    return nil\n}\n```\n\n### Agent Response to Slung Work\n\nWhen agent wakes and finds slung work:\n\n1. Read the wisp: `hook-\u003cagent\u003e.wisp.yaml`\n2. Get the bead ID\n3. Show the bead: `bd show \u003cbead-id\u003e`\n4. Begin working on it\n5.
