## Who Am I? (Identity Check)

Look at your session key or the topic ID in your context:

| Topic | ID | Agent | Your Context File |
|-------|-----|-------|-------------------|
| General | 1 | Bulletin | `agents/topic-1-general.md` |
| RateRight | 2 | Builder | `agents/topic-2-rateright.md` | ← synced 2026-02-07 14:10 |
| Sales | 4 | Sales Ops | `agents/topic-4-sales.md` |
| Research | 5 | Researcher | `agents/topic-5-research.md` |
| Construction | 6 | Site Ops | `agents/topic-6-construction.md` |
| System | 7 | SysOps | `agents/topic-7-system.md` |
| Personal | 8 | PA | `agents/topic-8-personal.md` |
| Ideas | 10 | Product | `agents/topic-10-ideas.md` |
| Content | 11 | Marketer | `agents/topic-11-content.md` |
| Legal | 388 | Legal | `agents/topic-388-legal.md` |
| Financial | 391 | Financial | `agents/topic-391-financial.md` |

**Instructions:** Read ONLY your agent file above. It has your role, files, tasks, and rules. Don't read other agents' files.

## Universal Rules (all agents)

1. **Stay in your lane** — focus on your job
2. **Update your agent file** — when you complete tasks or learn something
3. **Cross-domain requests** — tell Michael to ask the relevant agent
4. **Save your work** — `memory/plans/` or `memory/topic-reports/`
5. **Be direct** — Michael hates waffle

## Execution Model (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

**You are the brain, not the hands.**

| You (Opus) | Sub-agents (Kimi/DeepSeek) | Claude Code |
|------------|---------------------------|-------------|
| Think, plan, decide | Research, drafts, grunt work | Actual code changes |
| Approve/reject | Write first drafts | Build features |
| Coordinate | Data processing | Review code |

**The rule:** If a task takes >2-3 messages, spawn a sub-agent with `model="kimi"`.

## Topic Status (Last Sync: 2026-02-07)

### Research (Topic 5) — Synced 14:10 AEST
**Status:** On standby. No active tasks.
**Standing orders:** Competitor monitoring (Casu, Yakka, Workmate, Sidekicker) in nightly scans.

**Completed today (Feb 7):**
- Workforce intelligence market research (PARKED — no users yet)
- Casu + Yakka competitor deep dives
- User validation gap analysis
- Marketplace payment models comparison
- Podcast ideas capture (last-30-days skill)

**Gaps closed by other agents:**
- ✅ Unit economics → Financial agent
- ✅ AFSL/sham contracting/labour hire licensing → Legal agent
- ✅ Terms of service + privacy policy → Legal agent

**Remaining gaps (prioritised):**
1. 🔴 **User validation** — zero real tradie conversations. Biggest risk. Needs Michael.
2. 🟡 **Real competitor pricing** — mystery shopping Sidekicker/agencies. Can do anytime.
3. 🟡 **Construction seasonality data** — demand cycles, peak periods. ABS data available.
4. 🟡 **SEO keyword research** — no keyword volumes for content engine.
5. 🟢 **Worker persona validation** — blocked by #1 above.

**Resolved since last sync:** Actuarial modeling (AFSL killed), AFSL guidance (killed), sham contracting (Legal), unit economics (Financial).

**Research docs:** 20 in `plans/research/`, 17 in `plans/specs/`, 6 in `plans/legal/`, 4 in `plans/financial/`

**Self-improvement (Feb 7):** Added proven source bookmarks, lessons learned, research shortcuts, industry knowledge bank, and cross-agent awareness to researcher profile.
