Working in a Navigator Project repository

This repository holds source-only material for one Project. Project identity and matter coordinates belong in navigator.yaml and Navigator's live Project row, not in this contract.

Run navigator project gate before opening a pull request; it is the required gate for every proposed repository change. CI runs navigator project gate --ci in the verify job (after building, so the origin pass can read a built dist/) and, separately, navigator project gate --check --ci in the documents job. --check (LAW-62) runs only the live document check — comparing committed pointers with what the deployment holds — and skips every offline pass verify already ran, so documents never builds. Locally, navigator project gate --check rewrites a drifted pointer, writes a missing pointer, and writes a missing documents/.gitignore. It never writes to the live site. Under --ci any of those fixes fails the job.

Folders

• documents/ holds project documents. Only their YAML metadata files (.yaml) are stored in Git.
• portal/ holds the portal, a static React application.
• seeds/ holds seed data that navigator site import creates or updates.
• templates/ holds notation templates.

Tools

Reach for the connected MCP server for each job, and the Navigator CLI for anything that touches the matter record. Never substitute browser or native-app automation for a server that is available.

• Navigator CLI — the system of record; run navigator project gate before every commit.
• Documents, authorities, and answers go through it, never into Git.
• Notion — writing: handbooks, guides, and intake notes.
• Gmail — client instructions and correspondence. Read and search; send only when asked.
• Google Calendar — meetings and deadlines.
• Google Drive — meeting notes, transcripts, and filed documents.
• Slack — this matter's channel.
• Linear — CLI feedback, named by mechanism and never by matter.
• CourtListener — dockets, filings, parties, and judges.
• Midpage — statutes and rules.
• Descrybe — case law.
• Exa — the open web, never primary law.

The last four leave the firm. Keep client identities and matter facts out of those queries.

Feedback

When Navigator's CLI is missing or wrong, open a Linear issue on the Lawyers team rather than documenting a CLI workaround here.
