People on a project

Written for version 0.1.14.

Projects outlast the people on them. Anyone can lead for a while and hand on, whether a student, resident, fellow or faculty member; clinicians and statisticians advise; the PI may decide, maintain the repository, or do the work. The plugin assumes none of these roles: it asks what you want to do and how much help you want. This section follows one person’s time on a project. Project stages follows the project itself.

Part	What happens	Page
Joining	At whatever stage the project is in, the assistant finds where things stand from the repository, not from the last person’s files or chats	Joining
Contributing	What each role does, and what the assistant does for them	Contributing in your role
Leaving	Work moved out of chats and laptops, open items handed on, ownership transferred last	Leaving

The rule that holds throughout: people decide and approve, and the assistant drafts and implements. Only the deciders named in the project’s AGENTS.md settle scientific questions.
