# Project State

> The single live "where are we right now" file. Read this FIRST at the start of any session that touches this repo — don't infer phase or sprint from conversation history. Updated LAST by whichever agent completes the current step, as documented in `AGENTS.md` under "Automated State-Driven Handoff." If this file doesn't exist yet, the project hasn't been touched — treat it as Phase 0 and create it from this same structure.

**Phase:** 0 — Project onboarding (not yet run)
**Leading agent:** `product-owner` + `scrum-master`
**Process file:** `process/00_project_onboarding.md`

**Sprint:** none yet
**Sprint dates:** —
**Sprint goal:** —
**Current sprint backlog:** —

**Next action:** Run `process/00_project_onboarding.md` — ask the user about vision, stack, tests, review process, CI, and sprint length; fill in `project_config.md` and `templates/definition_of_done.md`; seed the first epic(s) under `backlog/epics/`.
