# Task summary

Document convoy layout, kickoff ritual, and Echodo dogfood (`claim_task` / registry aliases). Add always-on `.cursor/rules/convoy-planning.mdc` so agents use `.convoys/` instead of Cursor Plan mode.

## Acceptance criteria

- [x] README covers frontmatter, skip flags, model_policy aliases (ADR)
- [x] `convoy-planning.mdc` distinguishes `plans/` vs `.convoys/` vs `.cursor/plans/`
