20. Important files in a project

Path What it is
team-ai-console.json The team configuration the app reads: roles, language, workflow document, documents folder, attachments folder and quick buttons.
team-ai-console.workflow.json The workflow steps and phases that the app draws.
team/ The team: workflow document (AI_TEAM_CORE.md), role documents, participation sheets and templates.
docs/ The documents the team produces.
docs/sprints/ Each sprint’s deliverables: in its sprint-N-name/ folder with up-to-date teams; loose for earlier sprints.
docs/reference/ The attachments you add from the chat.
docs/backlog/ The project backlog: one file per request and index.md (regenerated by the app; do not edit it by hand). In docs/backlog/evidence/, the files attached as evidence in Talk on the side.
docs/handoff/ Handoff documents from team changes.
docs/metrics/ Usage summaries for the retrospective.
docs/team-proposals/ Changes to the team saved before restoring the original.
app/ The product code (in teams that build and in adopted projects).
.team-ai-console/state.json Your personal project state (chats, active role, settings, delegation). Not shared.
.team-ai-console/usage.jsonl Your usage record. Not shared.
.team-ai-console/workflow-log.md Log of workflow step jumps.
.team-ai-console/snapshots/ Turn snapshots (Changes tab) and document versions (History). Personal: its .gitignore keeps it out of git. With git, the Changes snapshots are also stored as git objects with no branch, which git may clean up after a few weeks.
.team-ai-console/team-history/ The project’s previous teams, saved when changing team.
.team-ai-console/collab.json Only in projects that collaborated before the app branch: after migrating, a note pointing to the branch team-ai-console/collab, where the state, sessions/ and the workflow log now live.
