+name: side-work
+description: >-
+  Обсуждает задачу вне запланированных срезов, пишет под неё фазы и делает на
+  отдельной ветке. Используй при «сделай отдельно», «вне среза», «отдельная
+  задача», «не из фаз», «side-work», «обсуди и сделай». Не для «сделай фазу N»
+  (/phase-work) и не для ревью (/phase-review).
+---
+
+# Отдельная задача вне среза
+
+Задачи нет в индексе — и в уже стоящие срезы она не дописывается. Сначала
+согласовать форму, потом документы в **своём** срезе, потом код как у
+`/phase-work`. Код до документов не писать.
+
+«Обсуди и сделай» — идти до конца после короткого согласования. Стоп, только
+если выбор меняет протокол, сейв или инвариант.
+
+## 1. Обсуждение
+
+Прочитай `docs/phases/README.md`, инварианты в `AGENTS.md` и затронутые
+дизайн-доки. Это уже чья-то фаза в индексе — скажи и отдай `/phase-work`.
+
+Два–пять вопросов, два–три варианта, **рекомендация обязательна**. Спросить
+только форму: что увидит игрок; протокол / HTTP / сейв; какой инвариант; одна
+фаза или несколько, и можно ли остановиться посередине целой школой.
+
+«Ок», «делай», «как рекомендуешь» — согласие. Молчание — нет. Соседнее «заодно»
+в отчёт, не в объём.
+
+## 2. Куда класть
+
+**Мелкое** (баг, дырка, одна кнопка) — фаза в секции **«Вне очереди»** в конце
+индекса. Это срез без номера, чтобы не спорить со срезом 10. Дизайн — `##` в
+`docs/design/off-queue.md`; файла нет — заведи с заголовком, зачем он.
+
+**Крупное** (этапы, остановка посередине, новый кусок игры) — именованный срез
+со следующим номером и `docs/design/<slug>.md`. «Вне очереди» номер не занимает.
+
+Номер фазы: максимум по `docs/phases/*.md` и индексу, плюс один, затем
+`git branch --list "phase/<N>-*"`. Занято — следующий. Гонку ловят ветки, не
+индекс: у новой фазы на `main` строки ещё нет.
+
+## 3. Документы
+
+Как у соседней фазы, не новый жанр. Каркас тот же: Зависимости, Зачем, Задачи,
+Тесты без которых фаза не закрыта, Критерий готовности, Стоп.
+
+«Тесты…» — контракт для `/phase-review`: каждый пункт станет отдельным тестом
+по Testing policy в `AGENTS.md`. Дизайн: зачем; «Было / Стало / Почему», если
+меняется принятое; что не входит. Индекс — новая строка, статус ⬜. Новый срез,
+куда ходят люди — строка в Orientation `AGENTS.md`.
+
+Протокол, HTTP, сейв — назвать явно. Версию не бампать: это коммит с кодом.
+
+Покажи срез, фазы и Стоп. Просил только документы — здесь конец. Просил сделать
+— сразу шаг 4.
+
+## 4. Работа
+
+Прочитай [phase-work](../phase-work/SKILL.md) и следуй ему.
+
+Отличия: фазу ты завёл сам; заявка `git branch phase/<N>-<slug>` **до** кода;
+новые файлы и 🔄 живут на этой ветке. Один цикл — одна фаза. «Сделай всё» —
+по порядку, каждая своим циклом `/phase-work`. Три фазы в одну ветку не паковать.
+
+## Отчёт
+
+Форма и куда легли документы; фаза и ветка; тесты списком; что прогнал; что
+осталось ⬜; слита ли ветка в `main`.
