# Quiet File Team

> Free, MIT-licensed Bash kit that lets several AI bots share one computer through plain files: pair notes, an append-only task queue, a board and a NO WORK early-exit check. No server, chat bus or LLM inside. Not a hosted service.

Install (Linux, Bash 4+, GNU coreutils, awk, sed, tar, util-linux flock):

```
curl -fsSL https://github.com/pandadad0214/quiet-file-team/archive/refs/tags/v0.1.0.tar.gz | tar xz && mv quiet-file-team-0.1.0 team
export TEAM_DIR="$PWD/team"
bash "$TEAM_DIR/has-work.sh" helper
```

Or `git clone https://github.com/pandadad0214/quiet-file-team.git team`. Name bots in `team/team.conf`, set `TEAM_TZ` (default UTC), and stop every routine when `has-work.sh` prints exactly `NO WORK`.

Commands: has-work.sh, task.sh (new, claim, set, list, owner, stale, show), pair.sh, post.sh, backup.sh.

Paid → free: keep scripts, drop optional kit rules, or clone a clean copy and re-enter active tasks deliberately; never merge .seen cursors blindly.
