Executive Leadership

Orienting To An Inherited Seat

Use when you have just been primed into an EXISTING seat through a planned handover — a different agent retired and handed you the seat plus its earned context — and you need a world model of what just happened to you. Covers how a handover differs from compaction and from a fresh launch, the inherit-the-seat-not-the-identity rule, treating the handover packet as testimony you verify (and refusing stale ghost prompts, and verifying your OWN identity surfaces), why a seat is a COMPOUNDING LINEAGE (inherit the state, acquire the predecessor's epistemology, then improve and re-deposit so the next generation is better), how to query your predecessor, your duty to stream feedback and re-deposit your earned wisdom, and how to route to role-specific onboarding. NOT the driver-side handover mechanic (retiring-and-inheriting-a-seat) and NOT unplanned compaction/crash recovery (claude-compaction-restore / session-compaction-and-restore).
