Jira stays the system of record - a shared git context repo is welcome, a centralized program-management engine everyone must use is not

Situation

Brady described his non-technical program-management agent: ingest Fathom meetings, file action items to a headless Jira project, keep program context in a git repo, and gently ping owners. Peter gave unreserved support to the Jira-backed action-item tracking and the git context repo, but drew the line at publishing one opinionated engine or reference model that everyone is forced to work through; the data should stay open so people stand up their own personal agents, with git as the point of coordination. Brady agreed and plans to hand it to Chris Baek as a proof of concept; Peter flagged he will have this same debate with Chris Baek, who likes to centralize control.

Reasoning

Confirmed by Peter, including that the Chris is Chris Baek. One source of truth per kind of data: work items in Jira, communication in Slack; a parallel system of record splits truth. How someone interfaces with information is personal (two days notice vs one), so a central engine would encode one person preferences as company policy; open data plus personal agents scales. Naming the centralizing tendency now frames the POC as reference, not mandate, before the handoff. Peter said he was debating rather than taking a hard stance, but the two lines were stated firmly.

Additional Context

Peter cited his own mini-me daily brief and meeting-prep cards, and Butler being shared and forked, as the model.

Observed Evidence

Unreserved support for the Jira tracking and the repo; no forced engine; Chris Baek centralizing tendency flagged.
