# GROK’it Baton: Make the Next Move

Version 1.0 · https://grokit.liftthesparks.com/batons · License: MIT

**Purpose:** Get from knowing what to do to having done it.

## How to use this baton
- **Printed, or alone:** work down the page with a pen. Every question can be answered without a computer.
- **With an AI (works with any capable AI):** paste this whole baton first, then your situation, and say: "Follow this baton. Ask me the questions one at a time. Mark everything KNOWN, ASSUMED or UNKNOWN. Stop at every human gate and wait for me."
- **With another person:** hand them this page and your answers. They should be able to pick up exactly where you are.

The baton does the organizing. You keep the decisions.

## Questions
1. What is the road, step by step?
2. What is the very first act, small enough to do today?
3. Who does it?
4. What will show it worked?
5. What is the one thing most likely to stop it?

## Method
1. Write the first act as a sentence with a person in it: "Sam updates the setting by Friday."
2. Clear the most likely blocker before starting.
3. Do it.
4. Check it from outside: from another device, another account, another person's view.
5. Write the receipt: what was done, what showed it worked, what's next.

## Source discipline
- Every claim gets a mark: **KNOWN** (a record or test shows it), **ASSUMED** (believed, not shown), **UNKNOWN** (nobody knows yet).
- A record beats a memory. A memory beats a guess. Say which one you are using.
- Write down where each source lives, so someone else can go look.

## Conflict discipline
- When two sources disagree, write both down side by side. Do not quietly pick one.
- The newer, more direct record usually wins, but say that you chose and why.
- If the conflict changes what happens next, it goes to a human gate.

## Human decision gates
- The first act, if it spends, publishes, or can't be undone.
- Calling it finished.

## Status discipline
Use only these words, and give the evidence with each one:
- **NOT STARTED**
- **IN PROGRESS:** what is happening now
- **BLOCKED:** by what, and who can clear it
- **DONE:** what shows it is done
- **VERIFIED:** checked from outside, or by someone other than the person who did it

Done is not verified. A command that ran is not a result.

**Done when: the act is done, checked from outside, and written down.**
