Lane Setup

Roscoe lane setup walkthrough
Lane setup chooses the project, reviews the saved brief, and queues monitored lanes before anything launches.

Lane setup turns a saved project contract into one or more active sessions.

  1. Choose a project.
  2. Review the saved brief.
  3. Choose the Guild runtime.
  4. Decide between the main repo and a named worktree.
  5. Queue more lanes if needed.
  6. Confirm the approval mode for launch.

Project

Pick a remembered repo, the current repo root, or branch back into onboarding first.

Brief review

Choose Continue to use the saved contract or Refine Understanding to reopen onboarding before launch.

Worktree choice

Leave the worktree name blank to stay on the main repo, or enter a task name to create or reuse a named worktree.

ChoiceUse it when
Main repoThe task is small, exploratory, or you deliberately want Roscoe operating directly in the primary checkout.
Named worktreeThe task deserves isolation, a dedicated branch, or parallel implementation beside the main repo.

Lane setup is where duplication is avoided

Section titled “Lane setup is where duplication is avoided”

If Roscoe finds one resumable lane for the repo, lane setup can continue into that lane instead of spawning a duplicate session. This keeps the active stack small and intentional.
