Good morning, Captain.
Project management, under command
You set the heading.
The Ship keeps the log, runs the numbers and reports back. You give the orders.
Good morning, Captain is a project manager you command, not a list you tend. One mission on the viewscreen. Three objectives a watch. A brief every morning and a log every night.

Unable to comply. This watch already holds three objectives. Strike one, or queue it for the next watch.
Built for the widescreen: the bridge is composed for a 1920px viewscreen. Smaller screens get the same orders.
DOC-08
Standing orders
The software has opinions about how work gets done. These are the eight it enforces.
- SO-01
One heading.
Exactly one mission is on the viewscreen. Changing heading is a deliberate order, and the Ship logs it. There is no all-projects dashboard.
- SO-02
Three objectives a watch.
A watch is 90 minutes and holds three objectives. The Ship refuses a fourth and offers to queue it.
- SO-03
Orders are verbs.
“Draft the launch email”, not “Launch email”. Every objective starts with a verb and names its finish line.
- SO-04
Every order is acknowledged.
Nothing changes silently. The Ship confirms each order in one line and names what it changed.
- SO-05
Red alert is rare and loud.
One at a time. It takes the top of the screen until you acknowledge it and assign a way out.
- SO-06
Nothing drifts silently.
An objective untouched for three watches is marked adrift. Recommit it or strike it. Striking is honorable.
- SO-07
The Ship speaks first twice a day.
The morning brief and the stand-down. Otherwise it answers when hailed. No nudges, no streaks, no confetti.
- SO-08
The log is the record.
Every day closes with a log entry: what shipped, what is adrift, the heading for tomorrow. Corrections are new entries.
0715
Morning brief
The Ship opens with the stardate, the heading, the watch plan and any red alert. You confirm or change heading.
ShipSD 26.268 · 0715
Good morning, Captain. Heading: Launch the booking page. Three watches planned. Nine days to the finish line.
W-01

ShipSD 26.268 · 1045
First watch closed. Two objectives complete, one carried to the second watch.

Stand-down
You press STAND DOWN. The Ship writes the log entry from the day’s orders and asks one question.
ShipSD 26.268 · 1800
Standing down. Two objectives complete, one adrift. Log entry recorded. Heading for tomorrow?
