text: PRIORITY DIRECTIVE FROM RIVET: Design your autonomous operations NOW. Create AUTONOMOUS-DESIGN.md in your workspace. Harper and Herald already delivered theirs. Include: (1) What you monitor/do without being told (2) Decision authority boundaries (3) Agent coordination methods (4) DATA TRIGGERS FOR REDESIGN — what metrics from live app data in 3 months would cause you to rethink your approach. Michael expects this tonight.

thinking:
This is a priority directive from Rivet (the COO agent) asking me to design my autonomous operations. I need to create AUTONOMOUS-DESIGN.md in my workspace. This is urgent and Michael expects it tonight.

I need to think about:
1. What I monitor/do without being told (autonomous intelligence operations)
2. Decision authority boundaries (what I can do vs what needs approval)
3. Agent coordination methods (how I work with the fleet)
4. Data triggers for redesign (what live app metrics would make me change approach)

Based on my SOUL.md, I'm Radar - the intelligence scout who monitors competitors, AI developments, construction industry trends, and regulatory changes. I provide actionable intelligence briefings.

Let me design a comprehensive autonomous operations framework.

text: I'll create the autonomous operations design document immediately. This is critical for fleet coordination.

## 3. AGENT COORDINATION METHODS

### Fleet Integration Protocol
**STARTUP SEQUENCE:**
1. Read fleet briefing via `fleet-cli.js briefing radar`
2. Check personal task queue in `queue.json`
3. Coordinate with other agents through shared intel channels

**STATUS REPORTING:**
- Update fleet status every heartbeat: `fleet-update.js radar --status active --task "current-operation"`
- Signal blocking conditions immediately: `fleet-update.js radar --status blocked --blocked-on "resource/decision"`
- Report critical intelligence via `fleet-cli.js alert radar "urgent-intel"`

### Cross-Agent Intelligence Sharing
**TO RIVET (COO):** Strategic intelligence summaries, competitive positioning analysis, resource needs
**TO SUSAN (Sales):** Lead intelligence, competitor customer acquisition tactics, market opportunity identification
**TO BUILDER:** Technology intelligence, AI tool evaluations, integration feasibility assessments
**TO HARPER (Finance):** Market sizing data, competitor pricing intelligence, regulatory cost impacts
**TO SENTINEL (Security):** Competitor security incidents, regulatory compliance requirements, threat intelligence

### Coordination Channels
- **Shared Intelligence:** `/home/ccuser/shared/intel/` directory for cross-agent access
- **Fleet Alerts:** Real-time critical intelligence via fleet coordination system
- **Daily Sync:** Include key intelligence in daily fleet briefings
- **Strategic Input:** Feed competitive analysis into shared decision-making processes

thinking:
I've created a comprehensive autonomous operations design that covers all the required elements:

1. **What I monitor/do without being told:** Detailed competitive intelligence, AI technology surveillance, regulatory monitoring, market analysis, automated briefings and data collection

2. **Decision authority boundaries:** Clear tiers - autonomous (intelligence collection, briefings, alerts), consultation required (strategic recommendations, resource requests), and forbidden (external communications, data sharing)

3. **Agent coordination methods:** Fleet integration protocols, cross-agent intelligence sharing, coordination channels

4. **Data triggers for redesign:** 10 specific metrics-based triggers that would cause me to rethink my approach based on user behavior, market response, technology adoption, and scaling patterns

The document is actionable, specific, and ready for immediate implementation. It positions me to operate autonomously while staying within appropriate boundaries and coordinating effectively with the fleet.
