Chats

Chats keep collaboration discussion near the work instead of scattering it across external channels.

Best use cases

• decision-making threads
• rapid coordination around active tasks
• escalation and resolution logs

Usage pattern

• keep thread scope explicit
• capture outcomes into notes/tasks when action is required
• avoid mixed-topic chat streams in one thread

Why this matters

Context-coupled chats improve accountability because the discussion remains attached to relevant files and tasks.

Anti-pattern

Using chats as a long-term task system without creating explicit tasks and owners.
