# Usage

Captain's commands and how agents finish.

## Commands

```bash
captain start TIG-430 TIG-431         # Linear issues → one worktree + agent each
captain start "tidy the README"       # a free-form task, no Linear, current dir
captain status                        # what's blocked, in flight, and ready
captain approve tig-430               # or: captain approve all
captain reject tig-431 --note "don't touch auth"
```

`captain --help` lists every command and flag.

## How agents finish

Each worktree gets a definition of done (`.captain/rubric.md`, from the Linear issue). The agent runs a verifier against it and writes a verdict: a pass shows READY TO MERGE, a fail shows NEEDS YOU. Verified learnings are saved per repo and fed into the next brief.
