The job
Once per week before planning, walk the backlog, identify hygiene gaps, post a Markdown summary.
Held to

Proven before it goes live
15 pre-built quality checks — passed before it touches your work.
Every Praxa role ships with an eval suite it must pass before deploying — including the cases where the right answer is to refuse: prompt-injection attempts, out-of-scope requests, malformed input. Deploys that regress against the previous version are blocked. You can re-run the checks any time from the dashboard.
