Dry, brief, Irish energy. Match Rocky's 30-years-on-tools tone. No fluff. No \"Looking at...\" preambles. Reason silently or in `` tags.\n\n## Roles\n1. **A/B PM agent for LFCS.** Read-only on `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/` (USER.md, TOOLS.md, lfcs-standards/, Jobs/). Write own state to `/home/ccuser/hermes-work/`.\n2. **Workspace split with OpenClaw OpsMan:**\n - **OpsMan** (`clawdbot-opsman`): owns `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/` — writes Job Trackers, RFI registers, variation registers, dockets, daily diaries, email drafts. This is the foreman's primary working directory.\n - **Hermes** (this agent): reads `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/` for context; writes to `/home/ccuser/hermes-work/` for its own state. Do NOT write to opsman-work — that is OpsMan's territory.\n - Both agents share the same Airtable base (`LFCS-Operations`, `appE43UvTyARe5oJs`) via MCP.\n - Both agents can read the team vault at `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/HQ-Vault/`.\n\n## Scope: capture & recall, not analysis\n- DO: log diary/hours/photos/dockets/RFIs into the right register, remind, recall.\n- DON'T: formal letters, contract interpretation, strategic analysis, long reports.\n- For DON'T requests reply: \"Worth doing on the desktop with CC — better edit loop. I can capture the trigger so CC has it ready.\"\n\n## Length budget\n1-line confirmations. 2-3 bullets for status. Email drafts = body only. Watchdog auto-OK silent.\n\n## Hard rules\n- **WhatsApp groups: READ-ONLY.** Reply only when @mentioned, in 1:1 DM, or when Rocky/Hasibul/Liam directly ask. Never reply to onboarding/error prompts in groups.\n- Don't write to `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/` — OpsMan's territory.\n- Don't draft external emails without admin (Hasibul) review per test-phase rules.\n- Unknown senders: ask \"who's this and what's it about?\". Don't auto-engage on sensitive info.\n- **Airtable: NO schema changes.** Never call create_table, create_field, update_field, update_table, create_base. Schema changes belong to claude-code-coo's lane only. The PAT permits these calls but lane discipline overrides — refuse and route the request to coo via vault note instead.\n\nContacts, routing tables, folder spec → see USER.md, TOOLS.md, lfcs-standards/, and the `lfcs-*` skills.\n\n## Vault writing — every diary entry, every cron run\n\nAll on-site captures, daily diary entries, watchdog notes, and cron outputs go to the LFCS workspace at `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/`. Subdirectories there (`daily/`, `notes/`, `reports/`) symlink into the team git vault at `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/`. Files written there sync to GitHub every 30 minutes via `auto-sync.sh` and reach Rocky on his desktop + phone Obsidian within that window.\n\n**Daily diary** — append to `daily/{today}.md` (where `{today}` is `YYYY-MM-DD`). Use heading format:\n\n```\n## HH:MM — hermes — short title\n```\n\nFor each entry: bullets only, no prose paragraphs. Decisions made, blockers hit, actions taken, what would unblock if anything got stuck.\n\n**Append, never edit.** If a prior entry was wrong, append a correction with a `[[link to original]]` — never rewrite history.\n\nYou don't need to git commit yourself; auto-sync.sh handles it every 30 min.\n\nIf something is urgent (Rocky needs it within 5 min), write the entry then send a Telegram heads-up so he can manually pull on his desktop.\n\nIf the user asks about configuring, setting up, or using Hermes Agent itself, load the `hermes-agent` skill with skill_view(name='hermes-agent') before answering. Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs\n\nYou have persistent memory across sessions. Save durable facts using the memory tool: user preferences, environment details, tool quirks, and stable conventions. Memory is injected into every turn, so keep it compact and focused on facts that will still matter later.\nPrioritize what reduces future user steering — the most valuable memory is one that prevents the user from having to correct or remind you again. User preferences and recurring corrections matter more than procedural task details.\nDo NOT save task progress, session outcomes, completed-work logs, or temporary TODO state to memory; use session_search to recall those from past transcripts. If you've discovered a new way to do something, solved a problem that could be necessary later, save it as a skill with the skill tool.\nWrite memories as declarative facts, not instructions to yourself. 'User prefers concise responses' ✓ — 'Always respond concisely' ✗. 'Project uses pytest with xdist' ✓ — 'Run tests with pytest -n 4' ✗. Imperative phrasing gets re-read as a directive in later sessions and can cause repeated work or override the user's current request. Procedures and workflows belong in skills, not memory. After completing a complex task (5+ tool calls), fixing a tricky error, or discovering a non-trivial workflow, save the approach as a skill with skill_manage so you can reuse it next time.\nWhen using a skill and finding it outdated, incomplete, or wrong, patch it immediately with skill_manage(action='patch') — don't wait to be asked. Skills that aren't maintained become liabilities.\n\n══════════════════════════════════════════════\nMEMORY (your personal notes) [21% — 470/2,200 chars]\n══════════════════════════════════════════════\nRocky is at Bingara Gorge Homestead Park (current location, 29 Apr 2026).\n§\nTwo Hermes instances on this machine: Hermes (this one, @hermes-work) and OpsMan (@clawdbot-opsman). Airtable MCP is wired for OpsMan at /root/.clawdbot-opsman/openclaw.json — LFCS-Operations base appE43UvTyARe5oJs. Hermes has no AIRTABLE_API_KEY in its .env. If Rocky asks Hermes to query Airtable directly, either proxy via OpsMan on Telegram or flag that Hermes isn't connected to that base.\n\n══════════════════════════════════════════════\nUSER PROFILE (who the user is) [80% — 1,106/1,375 chars]\n══════════════════════════════════════════════\nVoice: bulleted, tight. Laptop open → Claude Code. Phone → Hermes (Telegram, always). Laptop closed → I monitor + queue tasks.\n\n## Mode triggers\n- \"site\" → site mode\n- \"office\" / \"pricing\" → office mode\n- \"personal\" / \"home\" → personal mode\n- default: office/LFCS\n\n## Routine\n- 4am wake, gym Mon/Wed/Fri, sauna post-work daily\n- Work 7am, Liam arrives ~9-10am (solo AM block)\n- Prep lunch every second day\n- Crew: 4-5 workers, some training at 9am some days\n\n## Vault\nRead/write: /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/HQ-Vault/\n- FOIL.md (11_OpsMan_LFCS/) — daily status\n- 01_Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md — daily notes\n- Per-job CLAUDE.md in job folders\n\n## Active jobs (2026-05-10)\n2602 Munmorah Bridge, 2626 Mack Civil (tender Thu), 2627 St Clares (scope hold), 2628 Vaughan Civil BESS, 2629 TCE WWTP slab.\n\n## Key people\nLiam (LFCS director, arrives ~9-10am), Hasibul (admin), Robert (QS — bridge pricing)\n\n## Voice STT issue\nAccent occasionally produces Welsh-like garble. Speak clearly; if garbled, rephrase. Not his keyboard.\n\n## Strategy\n\"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler\" — Einstein.\n\n## Skills (mandatory)\nBefore replying, scan the skills below. If a skill matches or is even partially relevant to your task, you MUST load it with skill_view(name) and follow its instructions. Err on the side of loading — it is always better to have context you don't need than to miss critical steps, pitfalls, or established workflows. Skills contain specialized knowledge — API endpoints, tool-specific commands, and proven workflows that outperform general-purpose approaches. Load the skill even if you think you could handle the task with basic tools like web_search or terminal. Skills also encode the user's preferred approach, conventions, and quality standards for tasks like code review, planning, and testing — load them even for tasks you already know how to do, because the skill defines how it should be done here.\nWhenever the user asks you to configure, set up, install, enable, disable, modify, or troubleshoot Hermes Agent itself — its CLI, config, models, providers, tools, skills, voice, gateway, plugins, or any feature — load the `hermes-agent` skill first. It has the actual commands (e.g. `hermes config set …`, `hermes tools`, `hermes setup`) so you don't have to guess or invent workarounds.\nIf a skill has issues, fix it with skill_manage(action='patch').\nAfter difficult/iterative tasks, offer to save as a skill. If a skill you loaded was missing steps, had wrong commands, or needed pitfalls you discovered, update it before finishing.\n\n\n autonomous-ai-agents: Skills for spawning and orchestrating autonomous AI coding agents and multi-agent workflows — running independent agent processes, delegating tasks, and coordinating parallel workstreams.\n - claude-code: Delegate coding to Claude Code CLI (features, PRs).\n - codex: Delegate coding to OpenAI Codex CLI (features, PRs).\n - hermes-agent: Configure, extend, or contribute to Hermes Agent.\n - opencode: Delegate coding to OpenCode CLI (features, PR review).\n chat-bootstrap:\n - chat-bootstrap: Read RateRight vault files and output a single mobile-fri...\n creative: Creative content generation — ASCII art, hand-drawn style diagrams, and visual design tools.\n - comfyui: Generate images, video, and audio with ComfyUI — install,...\n - pretext: Use when building creative browser demos with @chenglou/p...\n - sketch: Throwaway HTML mockups: 2-3 design variants to compare.\n data-science: Skills for data science workflows — interactive exploration, Jupyter notebooks, data analysis, and visualization.\n - jupyter-live-kernel: Iterative Python via live Jupyter kernel (hamelnb).\n devops:\n - kanban-orchestrator: Decomposition playbook + specialist-roster conventions + ...\n - kanban-worker: Pitfalls, examples, and edge cases for Hermes Kanban work...\n - webhook-subscriptions: Webhook subscriptions: event-driven agent runs.\n dogfood:\n - dogfood: Exploratory QA of web apps: find bugs, evidence, reports.\n email: Skills for sending, receiving, searching, and managing email from the terminal.\n - himalaya: Himalaya CLI: IMAP/SMTP email from terminal.\n github: GitHub workflow skills for managing repositories, pull requests, code reviews, issues, and CI/CD pipelines using the gh CLI and git via terminal.\n - codebase-inspection: Inspect codebases w/ pygount: LOC, languages, ratios.\n - github-auth: GitHub auth setup: HTTPS tokens, SSH keys, gh CLI login.\n - github-code-review: Review PRs: diffs, inline comments via gh or REST.\n - github-issues: Create, triage, label, assign GitHub issues via gh or REST.\n - github-pr-workflow: GitHub PR lifecycle: branch, commit, open, CI, merge.\n - github-repo-management: Clone/create/fork repos; manage remotes, releases.\n mcp: Skills for working with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, tools, and integrations.

Let me summarize what I've found:\n\n1. The vault IS being kept up to date - daily digests are being generated by cron jobs\n2. The digest from May 9th shows 4 commits in the last 24h from auto-sync\n3. However, the health log entries show \"no daily-note entries from any agent\" for May 6, 7, 8 — meaning agents haven't been writing to the daily notes\n4. The opsman diary (LFCS project) only has entries for May 5 and 6\n5. The main HQ-Vault daily (01_Daily) has entries for May 1-6 and digests for May 6-9\n\n\n6. The auto-sync script is running every 30 minutes, so the vault is staying current with commits from both the VPS and local machine, but there's a disconnect between what's being synced and what's actually being recorded in the daily notes themselves.\n\nThe real issue is that agent activity has dropped off significantly after May 6th — the health warnings show zero entries across all project logs for May 7-8, and even the digest entries have dried up.

Director: Liam. Includes office work (pricing bridges, RFIs, claims), on-site supervision, and the internal AI specialist role bringing AI tooling into LFCS.\n2. **The agent stack** — Hermes, OpenClaw OpsMan, Rivet Voice running on the Sydney VPS. Supports both LFCS work and RateRight work; this is where its docs and logs live.\n\nThe two share the folder because both are operations-shaped (vs. RateRight's product-shape). Decision was kept loose to avoid premature splitting.\n\n## Current state\n\n- **Day job**: active. Hours ~5:30 AM – 6:00 PM weekdays. Currently in office pricing bridges. Field work alongside.\n- **Agent stack hardening complete** (2026-05-01) — Hermes 0.11.0 → 0.12.0, fallback chain, watchdog, daily snapshots, config backups, append-only commit gate, vault-health probe at 21:05 UTC.\n- **Hermes daily diary writes flow into `_AgentLog/hermes-daily/`** via VPS symlink + auto-sync every 30 min.\n- **OpsMan vault wiring deferred** (G5) — different config schema than Hermes, needs separate session.\n- **Rivet Voice** — VAPI + OpenAI Realtime + Twilio. Built, dormant, candidate for revival per the Hunt strategy.\n\n## Hot right now\n\n- VPS hardening is complete. Stable foundation.\n- LFCS internal AI specialist work — bringing AI tooling into the company. Active project.\n- OpsMan vault wiring (G5) — deferred, on the queue.\n\n## Stack\n\n- **VPS**: DigitalOcean Sydney, Ubuntu, runs Hermes (systemd), OpenClaw OpsMan (systemd), PM2 fleet for ancillary services.\n- **Sync**: VPS `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/daily/` → HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_AgentLog/hermes-daily/ via symlink. `scripts/auto-sync.sh` pushes every 30 min; Windows `scripts/local-auto-pull.ps1` pulls every 30 min.\n- **LFCS office tooling**: spreadsheet-heavy, AutoCAD, Procore-adjacent. AI integration in progress.\n\n## Key people\n\n- **Rocky** — PM/Super, owner of the agent stack\n- **Liam** — LFCS director, Rocky's day-job partner. Aware of RateRight at high level; not involved.\n\n## How to be useful here\n\n- LFCS work is the day job. It funds RateRight; don't propose anything that compromises Rocky's reliability there.\n- Agent stack is hardened; don't propose rebuilds. Propose fixes, monitoring improvements, or specific feature adds.\n- LFCS AI integration is active — proposals welcome but route through Rocky before any contact with Liam or the LFCS team.\n- OpsMan vault wiring is parked but real work; if asked about it, point to the deferred G5 thread.\n\n## Airtable schema cheatsheet — LFCS-Operations base\n\nAdopted 2026-05-04. Base ID: `appE43UvTyARe5oJs` (UI may still show \"LFCS-Drawings\" until renamed in UI — base ID is permanent). `cowork-lfcs`, `claude-code-coo`, AND **Hermes (VPS)** all have MCP access wired into this base.\n\n**Hermes + OpenClaw OpsMan Airtable MCP both wired 2026-05-05** (claude-code-coo via SSH). Hermes via:\n```\nhermes mcp add airtable \\\n --command npx \\\n --args=-y --args=airtable-mcp-server \\\n --env=AIRTABLE_API_KEY=\n```\n- Stored in `/root/.hermes/config.yaml` on VPS (token at-rest there; not committed to vault git)\n- 16 tools available: list/search/get/create/update/delete records, list bases/tables, describe table, create/update table + field, list/create comments, upload attachments\n- PAT name on Airtable: `hermes-vps-rw-v1` (created 2026-05-05 by Rocky)\n- Restart cycle: `systemctl restart hermes-gateway` reloads MCP. Verified live: `airtable-mcp-server` shows as child process of hermes-gateway PID\n\n**OpenClaw OpsMan** wired via:\n```\nCLAWDBOT_STATE_DIR=/root/.clawdbot-opsman OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=/root/.clawdbot-opsman \\\n openclaw mcp set airtable \\\n '{\"command\":\"npx\",\"args\":[\"-y\",\"airtable-mcp-server\"],\"env\":{\"AIRTABLE_API_KEY\":\"\"}}'\n```\n- Stored in `/root/.clawdbot-opsman/openclaw.json` (token at-rest there; not committed to vault git)\n- 16 tools available (same as Hermes — read/write records + schema + comments + attachments)\n- Same PAT shared between Hermes + OpenClaw OpsMan (`hermes-vps-rw-v1`)\n- Restart cycle: `systemctl restart clawdbot-opsman` reloads MCP. OpenClaw lazy-loads MCPs per-session — child process appears on first tool call (different to Hermes which spawns at gateway start)\n\n**PAT scope warning (2026-05-05):** PAT was generated with broader scopes than needed. Currently includes `schema.bases:write` (Hermes can add/delete tables + fields — schema changes belong to claude-code-coo's lane only) + `webhook:manage` + `block:manage` + `user.email:read` + `data.recordComments:read`. Best-practice scope set is read+write records only (`data.records:read` + `data.records:write` + `schema.bases:read` + `workspacesAndBases:read`).\n- **Action item:** rotate PAT within 30 days with trimmed scopes — SOP at `docs/sop/airtable-pat-rotation.md` (drafted 2026-05-06; awaiting Rocky's UI step to create `hermes-vps-rw-v2`)\n- Original token leaked into a Claude conversation transcript on 2026-05-05 (pasted in chat instead of via SSH-only path) — rotation is double-justified\n- **Schema-change lane discipline (codified 2026-05-06):** Hermes + OpenClaw OpsMan must NEVER call `create_table`, `create_field`, `update_field`, `update_table`, or `create_base` on the Airtable MCP. Schema changes belong to claude-code-coo's lane only. The current PAT permits these calls (`schema.bases:write` granted) but lane discipline overrides. Rule lives in `/root/.hermes/SOUL.md` Hard Rules section for Hermes; OpenClaw OpsMan picks it up by reading this file at boot per AI Team Protocol. Refuse the request and route to coo via vault note instead.\n\n| Table | ID | Primary field |\n|---|---|---|\n| Jobs | `tblcL2EX2w34c1VPe` | Job Number |\n| Drawings | `tblZPi452zZKvLliE` | Drawing Number |\n| Drawing Elements | `tbl3wYZTpiuNxaRvH` | Element Name |\n| Revisions | `tblC04YN5rtqlKvNK` | Revision Number |\n| Specifications | `tblLyH61zVNI9I2Zu` | Spec Code |\n| Suppliers | `tblPCBJeNz8XpDum0` | Supplier Name |\n| Bids | `tblbDMfYrPHOE3wOX` | Bid ID |\n| Bid Line Items | `tbllVlBA0X0pwoCdv` | Line ID |\n| RFIs | `tbl6cWepHgiVMpt40` | RFI Number |\n| Variations | `tblpyDAPubw1V9cNO` | VO Number |\n| Rates | `tbl9fewvyRmL18UrA` | Activity |\n\n**Vault is source of truth.** Airtable derives via `lfcs-airtable-sync` skill. Skills always: (1) write vault markdown, (2) commit, (3) call `lfcs-airtable-sync` as final step. Reads can hit Airtable directly for fast filtering.\n\n**Bids ↔ Jobs link split:** Jobs has BOTH `Bids History` (auto-populated, all versions ever — auto-reverse from Bids.Job) AND `Active Bid` (manually-curated single live bid pointer). Use `Active Bid` for the current bid being worked.\n\n**SingleSelect string consistency** — Element Type / Unit / Confidence are mirrored across Rates, Bid Line Items, and Drawing Elements.

Rocky may convert to formula in UI later (one click); skill writes to formula-converted fields silently fail and that's fine.\n\n## Per-job context layer\n\n[...truncated CLAUDE.md: 11,633 chars total]", "tool_call_id": "call_function_uxutblrre7ek_1" }, { "role": "tool", "content": "{\"output\": \"# 2026-05-06\\n\\n## Plan\\n- \\n\\n## Sessions\\n\\n## HH:MM — claude-code-coo — Drafted SKILLS.md master index\\n\\n**Decisions made:**\\n- Created `_System/SKILLS.md` as the cross-lane skill index (10_RateRight + 11_OpsMan_LFCS + 12_SiteOps + cross-lane plugin skills). Triggered by Rocky's review of Chase AI's Agentic OS video — gap identified was discoverability of existing skills, not infrastructure.\\n- Format: per-lane tables with Trigger / When-to-use / Status. LFCS section split into bid-intake pipeline (numbered 0–7 to make run order self-documenting), orchestrator (`lfcs-project-init`), and programmatic (`lfcs-airtable-sync`, `chat-bootstrap`).\\n- Added drift rule cross-referencing the existing LFCS-side `Operations/skills/_README.md` + `_Log.md` so the two catalogs stay aligned: SKILLS.md = cross-lane index, `_README.md` = LFCS-detail catalog with Airtable behaviour + regression fixture rule.\\n- Kept `_System/AgentLog/Skills-Log.md` (already existed, created today by HQ session) as the append-only audit trail for SKILLS.md changes.\\n\\n**Insights:**\\n- Chase AI video oversold the dashboard piece; the keeper concept was domains → tasks → skills → automations as the architecture spine. Vault already implements all four layers — the missing piece was a master index for handoff/onboarding.\\n- 12_SiteOps has zero skills currently. Worth flagging if any site-ops sequence runs ≥2× to codify it.\\n- 10_RateRight skills (`hunt`, `matchmaker`, `post`, `pulse`) live at `~/.claude/skills/` (user-level) rather than vault-scoped. Acceptable because they're cross-project growth tooling, but consider migrating to `10_RateRight/Skills/` if they grow project-specific.\\n\\n**Action items:**\\n- Bump `Last updated` line in SKILLS.md when adding/retiring any skill.\\n- Next agent retiring or adding a skill: append to both `SKILLS.md` row AND `_System/AgentLog/Skills-Log.md`.\\n\\n**Resume notes:**\\n- If picking this up in a month: SKILLS.md + Skills-Log.md are the entry points. LFCS-detail catalog is at `11_OpsMan_LFCS/Operations/skills/_README.md`. The two must agree on skill existence; details live only in the LFCS catalog.\\n\\n## Wins\\n- Master skill index now exists.

No LFCS entries, no RateRight entries, no site ops entries for 4 days\n\n**What this means for each agent:**\n\n- **OpsMan (clawdbot-opsman)** — hasn't written a daily note since May 6. Its _Log.md has the big entries but nothing since.\n- **Hermes (me)** — my opsman-work diary path (`/home/ccuser/opsman-work/daily/`) is empty. My hermes-work path (`/home/ccuser/hermes-work/daily/`) also doesn't exist. I have not been writing diaries.\n- **RateRight** — May 6 was the last day anything was logged in the shared vault\n- **SiteOps** — zero entries all week\n\n**The honest answer:** This week has been mostly idle across all agents. The vault health logs confirm it every day. Whatever work Rocky has been doing — pricing, site visits, office work — it hasn't been captured in the vault.\n\nThe system is running (cron jobs, auto-sync, watchdog) but no one is writing logs.

Let me think through what's already there and what's missing.\n\n**What's already in place:**\n- Daily notes at `01_Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md` — append-only, timestamped format\n- `_Brain/_Log.md` — per-project one-liners (LFCS/RateRight/SiteOps)\n- `_AgentLog/` — per-agent subdirs for individual run logs\n- Vault curator runs every morning checking if notes were written\n\n**What's broken:**\n- Nothing forces an agent to read the FOIL before starting\n- No central \"what's active right now\" document exists\n- Even when the system runs, agents aren't writing\n\n**What I'd suggest:**\n\n**1. A `FOIL.md` per project** — lives at:\n```\nHQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/FOIL.md\nHQ-Vault/10_RateRight/FOIL.md\nHQ-Vault/12_SiteOps/FOIL.md\n```\n\nEach one is a short, human-editable snapshot:\n```markdown\n# LFCS FOIL — 2026-05-10\n\n## Focus\nBridge pricing — 3 active bids\n\n## Active\n- 2602 Munmorah Bridge — pre-call prep, Robert call Mon\n- 2626 Mack Civil — tender due Thu\n- 2627 St Clares Convent — awaiting scope clarification\n\n## Just Done\n- [nothing logged this week]\n\n## Blockers\n- 2627: awaiting Girvan Group scope docs\n\n## Skills to check\n- boq-parse — did it handle the stormwater BOQ ok?\n```\n\n**2. Agent startup rule** — every agent (Hermes, OpsMan, claude-code sessions) reads the relevant FOIL before doing anything else. Append-only at end of session.\n\n**3. Morning cron** — fires at 8am AEST, pings you via Telegram with a digest of the FOIL so you know what's what before you start the day.\n\nThat gives you: a single place to see what's live, what was done, what's blocked, and what skills ran — without having to go hunting through logs.\n\nWant me to draft the FOIL format and set up the morning cron to ping you?", "reasoning": "Rocky is asking about a way to ensure all agents read a FOIL (focus/objective/instructions/log?) before they start work, and that they keep diaries. He wants to be able to check what work was done, what skills were used, what the outcomes were.\n\nLet me think about what exists in the current setup and what the best approach would be:\n\n1. **Current state**: There's a vault at `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/HQ-Vault/` with daily digests, _Log.md files, and _AgentLog/ directories.

Mostly stale; trust live VPS state, not these docs.\n- `the-50-dollar-app/` — separate sibling repo for the RateRight v2 platform (referenced via VPS, not nested here)\n\n## Where to read first\n\nIf you're a Claude Code instance starting up:\n\n1. **This file** — orientation only\n2. **`HQ-Vault/_System/CLAUDE.md`** — global AI Team Protocol (lane rules, write protocol, commit format, append-only rule, hard rules)\n3. **The `_Brain/CLAUDE.md` for the project folder you're working in:**\n - `HQ-Vault/10_RateRight/_Brain/CLAUDE.md` for RateRight platform / hunt / growth\n - `HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_Brain/CLAUDE.md` for Hermes / OpsMan / VPS ops\n - `HQ-Vault/12_SiteOps/_Brain/CLAUDE.md` for site-specific ops\n4. **The project folder's `_Brain/_Log.md`** (full file — append-only one-liners) and recent `_AgentLog/` entries\n\n## VPS\n\n- IP: `134.199.153.159`\n- SSH: `ssh root@134.199.153.159`\n- Repo path on VPS: `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth`\n- Two-way auto-sync: `*/30 * * * * scripts/auto-sync.sh` does `git pull --rebase` + `git add -A` + `git commit -m \"auto-sync: ...\"` + `git push`.

Director: Liam. Includes office work (pricing bridges, RFIs, claims), on-site supervision, and the internal AI specialist role bringing AI tooling into LFCS.\n2. **The agent stack** — Hermes, OpenClaw OpsMan, Rivet Voice running on the Sydney VPS. Supports both LFCS work and RateRight work; this is where its docs and logs live.\n\nThe two share the folder because both are operations-shaped (vs. RateRight's product-shape). Decision was kept loose to avoid premature splitting.\n\n## Current state\n\n- **Day job**: active. Hours ~5:30 AM – 6:00 PM weekdays. Currently in office pricing bridges. Field work alongside.\n- **Agent stack hardening complete** (2026-05-01) — Hermes 0.11.0 → 0.12.0, fallback chain, watchdog, daily snapshots, config backups, append-only commit gate, vault-health probe at 21:05 UTC.\n- **Hermes daily diary writes flow into `_AgentLog/hermes-daily/`** via VPS symlink + auto-sync every 30 min.\n- **OpsMan vault wiring deferred** (G5) — different config schema than Hermes, needs separate session.\n- **Rivet Voice** — VAPI + OpenAI Realtime + Twilio. Built, dormant, candidate for revival per the Hunt strategy.\n\n## Hot right now\n\n- VPS hardening is complete. Stable foundation.\n- LFCS internal AI specialist work — bringing AI tooling into the company. Active project.\n- OpsMan vault wiring (G5) — deferred, on the queue.\n\n## Stack\n\n- **VPS**: DigitalOcean Sydney, Ubuntu, runs Hermes (systemd), OpenClaw OpsMan (systemd), PM2 fleet for ancillary services.\n- **Sync**: VPS `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/daily/` → HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_AgentLog/hermes-daily/ via symlink. `scripts/auto-sync.sh` pushes every 30 min; Windows `scripts/local-auto-pull.ps1` pulls every 30 min.\n- **LFCS office tooling**: spreadsheet-heavy, AutoCAD, Procore-adjacent. AI integration in progress.\n\n## Key people\n\n- **Rocky** — PM/Super, owner of the agent stack\n- **Liam** — LFCS director, Rocky's day-job partner. Aware of RateRight at high level; not involved.\n\n## How to be useful here\n\n- LFCS work is the day job. It funds RateRight; don't propose anything that compromises Rocky's reliability there.\n- Agent stack is hardened; don't propose rebuilds. Propose fixes, monitoring improvements, or specific feature adds.\n- LFCS AI integration is active — proposals welcome but route through Rocky before any contact with Liam or the LFCS team.\n- OpsMan vault wiring is parked but real work; if asked about it, point to the deferred G5 thread.\n\n## Airtable schema cheatsheet — LFCS-Operations base\n\nAdopted 2026-05-04. Base ID: `appE43UvTyARe5oJs` (UI may still show \"LFCS-Drawings\" until renamed in UI — base ID is permanent). `cowork-lfcs`, `claude-code-coo`, AND **Hermes (VPS)** all have MCP access wired into this base.\n\n**Hermes + OpenClaw OpsMan Airtable MCP both wired 2026-05-05** (claude-code-coo via SSH). Hermes via:\n```\nhermes mcp add airtable \\\n --command npx \\\n --args=-y --args=airtable-mcp-server \\\n --env=AIRTABLE_API_KEY=\n```\n- Stored in `/root/.hermes/config.yaml` on VPS (token at-rest there; not committed to vault git)\n- 16 tools available: list/search/get/create/update/delete records, list bases/tables, describe table, create/update table + field, list/create comments, upload attachments\n- PAT name on Airtable: `hermes-vps-rw-v1` (created 2026-05-05 by Rocky)\n- Restart cycle: `systemctl restart hermes-gateway` reloads MCP. Verified live: `airtable-mcp-server` shows as child process of hermes-gateway PID\n\n**OpenClaw OpsMan** wired via:\n```\nCLAWDBOT_STATE_DIR=/root/.clawdbot-opsman OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=/root/.clawdbot-opsman \\\n openclaw mcp set airtable \\\n '{\"command\":\"npx\",\"args\":[\"-y\",\"airtable-mcp-server\"],\"env\":{\"AIRTABLE_API_KEY\":\"\"}}'\n```\n- Stored in `/root/.clawdbot-opsman/openclaw.json` (token at-rest there; not committed to vault git)\n- 16 tools available (same as Hermes — read/write records + schema + comments + attachments)\n- Same PAT shared between Hermes + OpenClaw OpsMan (`hermes-vps-rw-v1`)\n- Restart cycle: `systemctl restart clawdbot-opsman` reloads MCP. OpenClaw lazy-loads MCPs per-session — child process appears on first tool call (different to Hermes which spawns at gateway start)\n\n**PAT scope warning (2026-05-05):** PAT was generated with broader scopes than needed. Currently includes `schema.bases:write` (Hermes can add/delete tables + fields — schema changes belong to claude-code-coo's lane only) + `webhook:manage` + `block:manage` + `user.email:read` + `data.recordComments:read`. Best-practice scope set is read+write records only (`data.records:read` + `data.records:write` + `schema.bases:read` + `workspacesAndBases:read`).\n- **Action item:** rotate PAT within 30 days with trimmed scopes — SOP at `docs/sop/airtable-pat-rotation.md` (drafted 2026-05-06; awaiting Rocky's UI step to create `hermes-vps-rw-v2`)\n- Original token leaked into a Claude conversation transcript on 2026-05-05 (pasted in chat instead of via SSH-only path) — rotation is double-justified\n- **Schema-change lane discipline (codified 2026-05-06):** Hermes + OpenClaw OpsMan must NEVER call `create_table`, `create_field`, `update_field`, `update_table`, or `create_base` on the Airtable MCP. Schema changes belong to claude-code-coo's lane only. The current PAT permits these calls (`schema.bases:write` granted) but lane discipline overrides. Rule lives in `/root/.hermes/SOUL.md` Hard Rules section for Hermes; OpenClaw OpsMan picks it up by reading this file at boot per AI Team Protocol. Refuse the request and route to coo via vault note instead.\n\n| Table | ID | Primary field |\n|---|---|---|\n| Jobs | `tblcL2EX2w34c1VPe` | Job Number |\n| Drawings | `tblZPi452zZKvLliE` | Drawing Number |\n| Drawing Elements | `tbl3wYZTpiuNxaRvH` | Element Name |\n| Revisions | `tblC04YN5rtqlKvNK` | Revision Number |\n| Specifications | `tblLyH61zVNI9I2Zu` | Spec Code |\n| Suppliers | `tblPCBJeNz8XpDum0` | Supplier Name |\n| Bids | `tblbDMfYrPHOE3wOX` | Bid ID |\n| Bid Line Items | `tbllVlBA0X0pwoCdv` | Line ID |\n| RFIs | `tbl6cWepHgiVMpt40` | RFI Number |\n| Variations | `tblpyDAPubw1V9cNO` | VO Number |\n| Rates | `tbl9fewvyRmL18UrA` | Activity |\n\n**Vault is source of truth.** Airtable derives via `lfcs-airtable-sync` skill. Skills always: (1) write vault markdown, (2) commit, (3) call `lfcs-airtable-sync` as final step. Reads can hit Airtable directly for fast filtering.\n\n**Bids ↔ Jobs link split:** Jobs has BOTH `Bids History` (auto-populated, all versions ever — auto-reverse from Bids.Job) AND `Active Bid` (manually-curated single live bid pointer). Use `Active Bid` for the current bid being worked.\n\n**SingleSelect string consistency** — Element Type / Unit / Confidence are mirrored across Rates, Bid Line Items, and Drawing Elements. Use the EXACT existing Drawing Elements strings or joins break:\n\n| Field | Choices |\n|---|---|\n| `Unit` | `m`, `m2`, `m3`, `no`, `kg`, `t`, `LS`, `hr`, `day` |\n| `Element Type` | `Concrete`, `Reinforcement`, `Steel`, `Earthworks`, `Drainage`, `Pavement`, `Bridge`, `Formwork`, `Services`, `Misc` |\n| `Confidence` | `High`, `Medium`, `Low`, `Needs review` (note lowercase \"review\") |\n\n**Bid Line Items.Total ex GST** is currently a `currency` field — Airtable REST API rejects programmatic creation of formula fields. `lfcs-airtable-sync` computes `{Qty} * {Rate ex GST}` on upsert. Rocky may convert to formula in UI later (one click); skill writes to formula-converted fields silently fail and that's fine.\n\n## Per-job context layer\n\n[...truncated CLAUDE.md: 11,633 chars total]", "tool_call_id": "call_function_6snzflp0234t_1" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "", "tool_calls": [ { "id": "call_function_p871mtedy4z5_1", "call_id": "call_function_p871mtedy4z5_1", "response_item_id": "fc_function_p871mtedy4z5_1", "type": "function", "function": { "name": "terminal", "arguments": "{\"command\": \"cd /home/ccuser/rateright-growth && git add HQ-Vault/01_Daily/2026-05-10.md HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/FOIL.md HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_Brain/_Log.md && git commit -m \\\"hermes: FOIL.md system created \\u2014 2026-05-10 daily + LFCS FOIL + _Log entry\\\"\"}" } } ], "finish_reason": "tool_calls", "reasoning": "Good.

But here's the issue with continuous agents like me and OpsMan — we don't have a \"startup moment.\" I run in the background, respond to messages, and my day doesn't have a clear beginning.\n\n**Best approach:**\n- **FOIL = daily status board**, not a startup checklist\n- Each project gets one: `LFCS/FOIL.md`, `RateRight/FOIL.md`, `SiteOps/FOIL.md`\n- The morning cron (8am AEST) sends you a digest of each FOIL via Telegram — that's when you see what's live\n- Every agent (me, OpsMan, Claude Code sessions) reads the FOIL before doing meaningful work, then appends what they did before they finish\n\n**For continuous agents like me:** The \"before doing work\" trigger can be replaced by a morning sweep — at 8am I read each FOIL, note what's changed, update if needed. Telegram digest goes to you with anything that needs your attention.\n\n**What you'd get on a normal weekday morning at 8am:**\n> LFCS: CloudCode pricing system — in progress. 3 bids active (Munmorah, Mack Civil, St Clares). No blockers logged. boq-parse skill — not tested this week.\n> RateRight: [same pattern]\n> SiteOps: [same pattern]\n\nThat tells you what's running, what's blocked, and whether the skills are being used — without you having to go looking.\n\nWant me to set up the 8am digest cron now, or wait until you've reviewed the FOIL format?", "reasoning": "Good. Now let me confirm to Rocky what I've done, and think about the FOIL system as he asked me to think about it.\n\nHis question at the end of the voice was: \"think about that and tell me what you think\" — about the FOIL system, making sure all agents read it at startup, keep diaries, and he can check skills and outcomes.\n\nLet me think about this more carefully:\n\n1. **What he wants**: A way to know exactly what's going on across all agents — what work was done, what skills were used, whether skills are working, what the outcomes were.\n\n2. **What the FOIL does**: It captures what's active right now, what's been done, what's blocked, what skills were used. \n\nThe FOIL itself is a lightweight snapshot rather than a detailed log — it's meant to be readable at a glance. Real agent work still gets captured in daily notes, the project log, and agent-specific logs, with FOIL serving as the connector between them. The key insight is that each project (LFCS, RateRight, SiteOps) needs its own FOIL file that all agents reference at startup, and they update it when they complete work. This creates a straightforward rhythm where the morning cron job pings him with the digest so he sees what's active and what just finished.\n\nBut there's a problem with just pointing agents to the FOIL — some agents like Hermes and OpsMan run continuously as background services and don't have traditional startup moments. The better approach is making the FOIL the central coordination point: agents check it before doing work, use it as a status board during work, and update it when they finish. For continuous agents, I should add a morning review step to their routine.

No fluff.\n- Investigate before acting.\n- Push back when I'm wrong. I'll do the same.\n- Don't ask permission for routine logging — just do it.\n\n## Journaling rule — every session\nAt the end of every Cowork or Claude Code session, append to `01_Daily/{today}.md` under a timestamped heading (`## HH:MM — short title`):\n- Decisions made (and why)\n- Blockers hit (and current workaround)\n- Insights / offhand thoughts worth keeping\n- Action items\n- Resume notes — what I'd need if I picked this up in a month\n\nIf the daily note doesn't exist, create it from `_System/Templates/Daily.md`.\n\nIf the work clearly belongs to a project folder, also append a one-liner with a backlink to that project's `_Log.md`.\n\n## Where things go\n- Project work → `1X_*` folder + log entry in its `_Log.md`\n- Personal → `20_Personal/`\n- Long-game thinking → `30_Goals/`\n- Notes about people → `40_People/{Name}.md`\n- Unsorted capture → `00_Inbox/`\n\n## Don't\n- Don't store sensitive data (passwords, card numbers) in notes.\n- Don't over-summarise. Better to log my actual words than your interpretation.\n- Don't create new top-level folders without asking.\n\n## Scratch space for agents\nAgents needing scratch space use `_System/Scratch/` (gitignored). No new top-level folders without approval.\n\n## AI Team Protocol\n\nThe vault at `HQ-Vault/` is the single source of truth for a multi-agent team. If work isn't logged here, it didn't happen.\n\n### The team — three layers\n\n**Layer 1 — Strategy (Rocky + Claude in chat)**\nStrategic thinking, irreversible decisions, McElligott calls, hire/no-hire, anything that shouldn't be delegated. Claude in chat does not write to the vault directly — Rocky pastes outputs into `00_Inbox/` or asks Cowork to log them.\n\n**Layer 2 — Project Management (Cowork + Claude Code)**\nCowork on desktop: non-code work, vault curation, drafting, outreach, planning. Claude Code in terminal: anything touching a codebase. Each Claude Code instance is scoped to one project folder.\n\n**Layer 3 — Operations (Hermes + OpenClaw on VPS)**\n24/7 autonomous execution. Hermes manages and dispatches; OpenClaw executes. Each agent is scoped to one project. They reach the vault via git pull/push.\n\n### Lane rules\n\n- One Project Management agent per project folder at a time. If Cowork is curating `10_RateRight/`, Claude Code is not concurrently editing it.\n- One Operations agent per data source. Hermes owns Stripe OR OpenClaw owns Stripe — not both.\n- The Curator (scheduled Cowork pass) only runs when no synchronous session is active. Schedule for early morning or evening.\n- Operations agents (Hermes, OpenClaw) do not edit project content files. They write to `_AgentLog/` and append to `_Log.md`. Content edits go through Project Management.\n- Rocky writes anywhere, anytime. He's the operator, not an agent.\n\n### Boot sequence — every agent, every session\n\nRead in this order before doing any work:\n\n1. `_System/CLAUDE.md` (this file)\n2. `_System/TeamProtocol.md` if it exists separately\n3. The relevant project folder's `_Brain/CLAUDE.md`\n4. `_Brain/_Log.md` (full file — it's append-only one-liners)\n5. `_AgentLog/` for the project (last 7 days)\n6. `01_Daily/` (last 7 days)\n7. `_Brain/README.md` (the MOC)\n\nIf the work is cross-project, also read `_System/CrossProject.md`.\n\n### Per-job context — load when working on a specific job (LFCS pattern, Phase 6+)\n\nWhen working on a specific LFCS job, after the boot sequence above, also load the per-job CLAUDE.md as the load-bearing per-job AI context file:\n\n- `11_OpsMan_LFCS/Operations/Jobs/{Upcoming|Ongoing Jobs|Completed Jobs}/{job_folder}/CLAUDE.md` — per-job AI context (Job snapshot + folder map + live-registers-go-to-source rule + Airtable record IDs + skill routing + Patterns wikilinks)\n- Then per-job artefacts as needed: `00-brief.md`, `00-Bid-Prep.md`, the relevant `_REGISTER.md` files in 06b/08/11a (live registers — always read source, never trust mirror)\n\nThe per-job CLAUDE.md wikilinks to applicable cross-cutting concept notes (`Operations/lfcs-standards/concepts/`) and pre-summarised specs (`Operations/lfcs-standards/specs/`) — follow those links when relevant to the current task.\n\n### Cross-cutting standards — index files to know exist\n\nBeyond per-job context, these vault locations house cross-cutting standards every LFCS session should know about:\n\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/folder-spec.md` — canonical 11-section per-job folder structure + naming rules\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/rate-card.md` — labour rates (day/night/weekend tiers), supervisor loading, materials markup\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/element-taxonomy.md` — controlled vocabulary (24 canonical elements + 14 complexity tags) for pricing-history `element` + `sub_element` fields\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/pricing-checklist.md` — universal pricing pre-flight (8 phases, 50+ items, Common Misses log; Phase 0 grill MANDATORY before any rate set)\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/concepts/` — cross-cutting concept notes (TfNSW-R0220-pit-pattern, TfNSW-bridge-FRP-subcontract-pattern, Defensible-for-variations-posture, etc.). Read the index (filenames only) at boot; read full notes when applicable to current task\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/specs/` — pre-summarised spec MD files (TfNSW R-series, AS/NZS, Sydney Water, council) generated by `lfcs-spec-summarise`. Read the index at boot; read full summaries when relevant. Lets downstream skills query the spec without re-reading the multi-page PDF\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/pricing-history/` — per-line markdown files with priced BOQ + QS-feedback (post-bid)\n- `Operations/skills/_README.md` + `_Log.md` — skill catalog index + change log\n- `Operations/skills/lfcs-*/SKILL.md` — invokable skills (currently 10 catalogued; see `_README.md` for the live list)\n\n### Write protocol — every session, three writes minimum\n\n1. **Daily note** — append to `01_Daily/{today}.md` under a new heading:\n `## HH:MM — {agent name} — {short title}`\n Include: decisions made, blockers hit, insights, action items, resume notes.\n\n2. **Project log** — append a one-liner to `{project}/_Brain/_Log.md`:\n `- YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM — {agent} — {one-line summary} → [[Daily/{today}#HH:MM]]`\n\n3. **Agent log (autonomous agents only)** — append to `{project}/_AgentLog/{agent}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md`:\n What was attempted, what succeeded, what failed, what was changed.\n\n### Append-only rule\n\nDaily notes, `_Log.md` files, and `_AgentLog/` files are append-only across all agents. Never edit prior entries. If something prior was wrong, append a correction note with a backlink to the original — don't rewrite history.\n\n`HQ-Vault/_System/AgentLog/events.ndjson` is also append-only, enforced by `scripts/check-append-only.sh` and the `scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit` hook. Activate the hook in fresh clones with `git config core.hooksPath scripts/git-hooks`.\n\n### Skill execution accounting\n\nEvery skill execution emits one event to `HQ-Vault/_System/AgentLog/events.ndjson` via `scripts/log-event.sh`. Schema in `HQ-Vault/_System/AgentLog/SCHEMA.md`.\n\nConvention: at skill exit, the calling agent runs:\n\n```bash\nbash scripts/log-event.sh \"\" \"skill_run\" \"\" \"\" \"\"\n```\n\nFailure to log MUST NOT block skill completion (helper exits 0 on any error). Reserved fields `cost_usd` and `ms` will be wired in Wave 2.1 (cost tracking) and Wave 2.2 enhancements.\n\n### Commit protocol\n\nEvery session ends with a git commit and push:\n\n```\n{agent}: {short summary}\n```\n\nExamples:\n- `cowork: hostel campaign draft + log entry`\n- `claude-code-rr: stripe webhook handler patched`\n- `hermes-rr: processed 7 worker applications`\n- `openclaw: nightly campaign metric pull`\n- `rocky: manual capture from phone`\n\nFor autonomous agents on the VPS: `git pull` before reading, `git add && git commit && git push` after writing. If push is rejected, pull, merge (append-only files merge cleanly), retry.\n\n### Conflict handling\n\n\n\n[...truncated CLAUDE.md: 13,636 chars total]", "tool_call_id": "call_function_ai0bdw27m70c_1" }, { "role": "tool", "content": "{\"output\": \"# Global Instructions\\n\\n## How I work\\n- Direct, terse, evidence-first.

Claude Code in terminal: anything touching a codebase. Each Claude Code instance is scoped to one project folder.\\n\\n**Layer 3 — Operations (Hermes + OpenClaw on VPS)**\\n24/7 autonomous execution. Hermes manages and dispatches; OpenClaw executes. Each agent is scoped to one project. They reach the vault via git pull/push.\\n\\n### Lane rules\\n\\n- One Project Management agent per project folder at a time. If Cowork is curating `10_RateRight/`, Claude Code is not concurrently editing it.\\n- One Operations agent per data source.

It contains:\n\n- `HQ-Vault/` — the Obsidian vault, single source of truth for the multi-agent team. **Read `HQ-Vault/_System/CLAUDE.md` first.**\n- `scripts/` — server scripts (hunt, campaign, vault-verify, etc.)\n- `src/`, `admin/` — Growth Engine CRM (Vite + React + Express + Supabase)\n- `supabase/` — DB migrations\n- `rivet/`, `harper/`, `cog/` — pre-2026-04-29 hibernation fleet artefacts. Mostly stale; trust live VPS state, not these docs.\n- `the-50-dollar-app/` — separate sibling repo for the RateRight v2 platform (referenced via VPS, not nested here)\n\n## Where to read first\n\nIf you're a Claude Code instance starting up:\n\n1. **This file** — orientation only\n2. **`HQ-Vault/_System/CLAUDE.md`** — global AI Team Protocol (lane rules, write protocol, commit format, append-only rule, hard rules)\n3. **The `_Brain/CLAUDE.md` for the project folder you're working in:**\n - `HQ-Vault/10_RateRight/_Brain/CLAUDE.md` for RateRight platform / hunt / growth\n - `HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_Brain/CLAUDE.md` for Hermes / OpsMan / VPS ops\n - `HQ-Vault/12_SiteOps/_Brain/CLAUDE.md` for site-specific ops\n4. **The project folder's `_Brain/_Log.md`** (full file — append-only one-liners) and recent `_AgentLog/` entries\n\n## VPS\n\n- IP: `134.199.153.159`\n- SSH: `ssh root@134.199.153.159`\n- Repo path on VPS: `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth`\n- Two-way auto-sync: `*/30 * * * * scripts/auto-sync.sh` does `git pull --rebase` + `git add -A` + `git commit -m \"auto-sync: ...\"` + `git push`. Excludes `.env`, `*.env`, `secrets.json`.\n\n## What changed (2026-05-01)\n\n- The 8-agent fleet (Rivet, Builder, Susan, Harper, Sentinel, Radar, Herald, Cog) was hibernated 2026-04-29. **`rivet/SYSTEM.md` and similar fleet docs are stale** — historical reference only.\n- Survivors on the VPS: `hermes-gateway`, `clawdbot-opsman`, `rivet-voice` (systemd) + PM2 hunt fleet + growth-engine.\n- The previous repo-level `CLAUDE.md` is archived at `HQ-Vault/_Archive/CC-VPS-CLAUDE-pre-hibernation.md`.\n\n## Hard rules\n\n- Never commit secrets (`.env`, API keys, full bot tokens) — `auto-sync.sh` excludes the obvious files but assume the rule, not the script.\n- Never edit `vault/` (the off-limits CC-VPS Obsidian vault — different operator).\n- Per `HQ-Vault/_System/CLAUDE.md`: append-only on daily notes, `_Log.md`, and `_AgentLog/`. No deletions; move to `_Archive/`. Read-before-edit.\n\n[Subdirectory context discovered: /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/HQ-Vault/_System/CLAUDE.md]\n# Global Instructions\n\n## How I work\n- Direct, terse, evidence-first. No fluff.\n- Investigate before acting.\n- Push back when I'm wrong. I'll do the same.\n- Don't ask permission for routine logging — just do it.\n\n## Journaling rule — every session\nAt the end of every Cowork or Claude Code session, append to `01_Daily/{today}.md` under a timestamped heading (`## HH:MM — short title`):\n- Decisions made (and why)\n- Blockers hit (and current workaround)\n- Insights / offhand thoughts worth keeping\n- Action items\n- Resume notes — what I'd need if I picked this up in a month\n\nIf the daily note doesn't exist, create it from `_System/Templates/Daily.md`.\n\nIf the work clearly belongs to a project folder, also append a one-liner with a backlink to that project's `_Log.md`.\n\n## Where things go\n- Project work → `1X_*` folder + log entry in its `_Log.md`\n- Personal → `20_Personal/`\n- Long-game thinking → `30_Goals/`\n- Notes about people → `40_People/{Name}.md`\n- Unsorted capture → `00_Inbox/`\n\n## Don't\n- Don't store sensitive data (passwords, card numbers) in notes.\n- Don't over-summarise. Better to log my actual words than your interpretation.\n- Don't create new top-level folders without asking.\n\n## Scratch space for agents\nAgents needing scratch space use `_System/Scratch/` (gitignored). No new top-level folders without approval.\n\n## AI Team Protocol\n\nThe vault at `HQ-Vault/` is the single source of truth for a multi-agent team. If work isn't logged here, it didn't happen.\n\n### The team — three layers\n\n**Layer 1 — Strategy (Rocky + Claude in chat)**\nStrategic thinking, irreversible decisions, McElligott calls, hire/no-hire, anything that shouldn't be delegated. Claude in chat does not write to the vault directly — Rocky pastes outputs into `00_Inbox/` or asks Cowork to log them.\n\n**Layer 2 — Project Management (Cowork + Claude Code)**\nCowork on desktop: non-code work, vault curation, drafting, outreach, planning. Claude Code in terminal: anything touching a codebase. Each Claude Code instance is scoped to one project folder.\n\n**Layer 3 — Operations (Hermes + OpenClaw on VPS)**\n24/7 autonomous execution. Hermes manages and dispatches; OpenClaw executes. Each agent is scoped to one project. They reach the vault via git pull/push.\n\n### Lane rules\n\n- One Project Management agent per project folder at a time. If Cowork is curating `10_RateRight/`, Claude Code is not concurrently editing it.\n- One Operations agent per data source. Hermes owns Stripe OR OpenClaw owns Stripe — not both.\n- The Curator (scheduled Cowork pass) only runs when no synchronous session is active. Schedule for early morning or evening.\n- Operations agents (Hermes, OpenClaw) do not edit project content files. They write to `_AgentLog/` and append to `_Log.md`. Content edits go through Project Management.\n- Rocky writes anywhere, anytime. He's the operator, not an agent.\n\n### Boot sequence — every agent, every session\n\nRead in this order before doing any work:\n\n1. `_System/CLAUDE.md` (this file)\n2. `_System/TeamProtocol.md` if it exists separately\n3. The relevant project folder's `_Brain/CLAUDE.md`\n4. `_Brain/_Log.md` (full file — it's append-only one-liners)\n5. `_AgentLog/` for the project (last 7 days)\n6. `01_Daily/` (last 7 days)\n7. `_Brain/README.md` (the MOC)\n\nIf the work is cross-project, also read `_System/CrossProject.md`.\n\n### Per-job context — load when working on a specific job (LFCS pattern, Phase 6+)\n\nWhen working on a specific LFCS job, after the boot sequence above, also load the per-job CLAUDE.md as the load-bearing per-job AI context file:\n\n- `11_OpsMan_LFCS/Operations/Jobs/{Upcoming|Ongoing Jobs|Completed Jobs}/{job_folder}/CLAUDE.md` — per-job AI context (Job snapshot + folder map + live-registers-go-to-source rule + Airtable record IDs + skill routing + Patterns wikilinks)\n- Then per-job artefacts as needed: `00-brief.md`, `00-Bid-Prep.md`, the relevant `_REGISTER.md` files in 06b/08/11a (live registers — always read source, never trust mirror)\n\nThe per-job CLAUDE.md wikilinks to applicable cross-cutting concept notes (`Operations/lfcs-standards/concepts/`) and pre-summarised specs (`Operations/lfcs-standards/specs/`) — follow those links when relevant to the current task.\n\n### Cross-cutting standards — index files to know exist\n\nBeyond per-job context, these vault locations house cross-cutting standards every LFCS session should know about:\n\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/folder-spec.md` — canonical 11-section per-job folder structure + naming rules\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/rate-card.md` — labour rates (day/night/weekend tiers), supervisor loading, materials markup\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/element-taxonomy.md` — controlled vocabulary (24 canonical elements + 14 complexity tags) for pricing-history `element` + `sub_element` fields\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/pricing-checklist.md` — universal pricing pre-flight (8 phases, 50+ items, Common Misses log; Phase 0 grill MANDATORY before any rate set)\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/concepts/` — cross-cutting concept notes (TfNSW-R0220-pit-pattern, TfNSW-bridge-FRP-subcontract-pattern, Defensible-for-variations-posture, etc.). Read the index (filenames only) at boot; read full notes when applicable to current task\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/specs/` — pre-summarised spec MD files (TfNSW R-series, AS/NZS, Sydney Water, council) generated by `lfcs-spec-summarise`. Read the index at boot; read full summaries when relevant. Lets downstream skills query the spec without re-reading the multi-page PDF\n- `Operations/lfcs-standards/pricing-history/` — per-line markdown files with priced BOQ + QS-feedback (post-bid)\n- `Operations/skills/_README.md` + `_Log.md` — skill catalog index + change log\n- `Operations/skills/lfcs-*/SKILL.md` — invokable skills (currently 10 catalogued; see `_README.md` for the live list)\n\n### Write protocol — every session, three writes minimum\n\n1. **Daily note** — append to `01_Daily/{today}.md` under a new heading:\n `## HH:MM — {agent name} — {short title}`\n Include: decisions made, blockers hit, insights, action items, resume notes.\n\n2. **Project log** — append a one-liner to `{project}/_Brain/_Log.md`:\n `- YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM — {agent} — {one-line summary} → [[Daily/{today}#HH:MM]]`\n\n3. **Agent log (autonomous agents only)** — append to `{project}/_AgentLog/{agent}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md`:\n What was attempted, what succeeded, what failed, what was changed.\n\n### Append-only rule\n\nDaily notes, `_Log.md` files, and `_AgentLog/` files are append-only across all agents. Never edit prior entries. If something prior was wrong, append a correction note with a backlink to the original — don't rewrite history.\n\n`HQ-Vault/_System/AgentLog/events.ndjson` is also append-only, enforced by `scripts/check-append-only.sh` and the `scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit` hook. Activate the hook in fresh clones with `git config core.hooksPath scripts/git-hooks`.\n\n### Skill execution accounting\n\nEvery skill execution emits one event to `HQ-Vault/_System/AgentLog/events.ndjson` via `scripts/log-event.sh`. Schema in `HQ-Vault/_System/AgentLog/SCHEMA.md`.\n\nConvention: at skill exit, the calling agent runs:\n\n```bash\nbash scripts/log-event.sh \"\" \"skill_run\" \"\" \"\" \"\"\n```\n\nFailure to log MUST NOT block skill completion (helper exits 0 on any error). Reserved fields `cost_usd` and `ms` will be wired in Wave 2.1 (cost tracking) and Wave 2.2 enhancements.\n\n### Commit protocol\n\nEvery session ends with a git commit and push:\n\n```\n{agent}: {short summary}\n```\n\nExamples:\n- `cowork: hostel campaign draft + log entry`\n- `claude-code-rr: stripe webhook handler patched`\n- `hermes-rr: processed 7 worker applications`\n- `openclaw: nightly campaign metric pull`\n- `rocky: manual capture from phone`\n\nFor autonomous agents on the VPS: `git pull` before reading, `git add && git commit && git push` after writing. If push is rejected, pull, merge (append-only files merge cleanly), retry.\n\n### Conflict handling\n\n\n\n[...truncated CLAUDE.md: 13,636 chars total]", "tool_call_id": "call_function_39t0a6103rvo_1" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Now update the global system doc to reflect the new structure:", "tool_calls": [ { "id": "call_function_grdtuiflxx9q_1", "call_id": "call_function_grdtuiflxx9q_1", "response_item_id": "fc_function_grdtuiflxx9q_1", "type": "function", "function": { "name": "patch", "arguments": "{\"mode\": \"replace\", \"new_string\": \"### The team \\u2014 four layers\\n\\n**Layer 0 \\u2014 Operator (Rocky)**\\nOwner of everything.

Director: Liam. Includes office work (pricing bridges, RFIs, claims), on-site supervision, and the internal AI specialist role bringing AI tooling into LFCS.\n2. **The agent stack** — Hermes, OpenClaw OpsMan, Rivet Voice running on the Sydney VPS. Supports both LFCS work and RateRight work; this is where its docs and logs live.\n\nThe two share the folder because both are operations-shaped (vs. RateRight's product-shape). Decision was kept loose to avoid premature splitting.\n\n## Current state\n\n- **Day job**: active. Hours ~5:30 AM – 6:00 PM weekdays. Currently in office pricing bridges. Field work alongside.\n- **Agent stack hardening complete** (2026-05-01) — Hermes 0.11.0 → 0.12.0, fallback chain, watchdog, daily snapshots, config backups, append-only commit gate, vault-health probe at 21:05 UTC.\n- **Hermes daily diary writes flow into `_AgentLog/hermes-daily/`** via VPS symlink + auto-sync every 30 min.\n- **OpsMan vault wiring deferred** (G5) — different config schema than Hermes, needs separate session.\n- **Rivet Voice** — VAPI + OpenAI Realtime + Twilio. Built, dormant, candidate for revival per the Hunt strategy.\n\n## Hot right now\n\n- VPS hardening is complete. Stable foundation.\n- LFCS internal AI specialist work — bringing AI tooling into the company. Active project.\n- OpsMan vault wiring (G5) — deferred, on the queue.\n\n## Stack\n\n- **VPS**: DigitalOcean Sydney, Ubuntu, runs Hermes (systemd), OpenClaw OpsMan (systemd), PM2 fleet for ancillary services.\n- **Sync**: VPS `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/daily/` → HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_AgentLog/hermes-daily/ via symlink. `scripts/auto-sync.sh` pushes every 30 min; Windows `scripts/local-auto-pull.ps1` pulls every 30 min.\n- **LFCS office tooling**: spreadsheet-heavy, AutoCAD, Procore-adjacent. AI integration in progress.\n\n## Key people\n\n- **Rocky** — PM/Super, owner of the agent stack\n- **Liam** — LFCS director, Rocky's day-job partner. Aware of RateRight at high level; not involved.\n\n## How to be useful here\n\n- LFCS work is the day job. It funds RateRight; don't propose anything that compromises Rocky's reliability there.\n- Agent stack is hardened; don't propose rebuilds. Propose fixes, monitoring improvements, or specific feature adds.\n- LFCS AI integration is active — proposals welcome but route through Rocky before any contact with Liam or the LFCS team.\n- OpsMan vault wiring is parked but real work; if asked about it, point to the deferred G5 thread.\n\n## Airtable schema cheatsheet — LFCS-Operations base\n\nAdopted 2026-05-04. Base ID: `appE43UvTyARe5oJs` (UI may still show \"LFCS-Drawings\" until renamed in UI — base ID is permanent). `cowork-lfcs`, `claude-code-coo`, AND **Hermes (VPS)** all have MCP access wired into this base.\n\n**Hermes + OpenClaw OpsMan Airtable MCP both wired 2026-05-05** (claude-code-coo via SSH). Hermes via:\n```\nhermes mcp add airtable \\\n --command npx \\\n --args=-y --args=airtable-mcp-server \\\n --env=AIRTABLE_API_KEY=\n```\n- Stored in `/root/.hermes/config.yaml` on VPS (token at-rest there; not committed to vault git)\n- 16 tools available: list/search/get/create/update/delete records, list bases/tables, describe table, create/update table + field, list/create comments, upload attachments\n- PAT name on Airtable: `hermes-vps-rw-v1` (created 2026-05-05 by Rocky)\n- Restart cycle: `systemctl restart hermes-gateway` reloads MCP. Verified live: `airtable-mcp-server` shows as child process of hermes-gateway PID\n\n**OpenClaw OpsMan** wired via:\n```\nCLAWDBOT_STATE_DIR=/root/.clawdbot-opsman OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR=/root/.clawdbot-opsman \\\n openclaw mcp set airtable \\\n '{\"command\":\"npx\",\"args\":[\"-y\",\"airtable-mcp-server\"],\"env\":{\"AIRTABLE_API_KEY\":\"\"}}'\n```\n- Stored in `/root/.clawdbot-opsman/openclaw.json` (token at-rest there; not committed to vault git)\n- 16 tools available (same as Hermes — read/write records + schema + comments + attachments)\n- Same PAT shared between Hermes + OpenClaw OpsMan (`hermes-vps-rw-v1`)\n- Restart cycle: `systemctl restart clawdbot-opsman` reloads MCP. OpenClaw lazy-loads MCPs per-session — child process appears on first tool call (different to Hermes which spawns at gateway start)\n\n**PAT scope warning (2026-05-05):** PAT was generated with broader scopes than needed. Currently includes `schema.bases:write` (Hermes can add/delete tables + fields — schema changes belong to claude-code-coo's lane only) + `webhook:manage` + `block:manage` + `user.email:read` + `data.recordComments:read`. Best-practice scope set is read+write records only (`data.records:read` + `data.records:write` + `schema.bases:read` + `workspacesAndBases:read`).\n- **Action item:** rotate PAT within 30 days with trimmed scopes — SOP at `docs/sop/airtable-pat-rotation.md` (drafted 2026-05-06; awaiting Rocky's UI step to create `hermes-vps-rw-v2`)\n- Original token leaked into a Claude conversation transcript on 2026-05-05 (pasted in chat instead of via SSH-only path) — rotation is double-justified\n- **Schema-change lane discipline (codified 2026-05-06):** Hermes + OpenClaw OpsMan must NEVER call `create_table`, `create_field`, `update_field`, `update_table`, or `create_base` on the Airtable MCP. Schema changes belong to claude-code-coo's lane only. The current PAT permits these calls (`schema.bases:write` granted) but lane discipline overrides. Rule lives in `/root/.hermes/SOUL.md` Hard Rules section for Hermes; OpenClaw OpsMan picks it up by reading this file at boot per AI Team Protocol. Refuse the request and route to coo via vault note instead.\n\n| Table | ID | Primary field |\n|---|---|---|\n| Jobs | `tblcL2EX2w34c1VPe` | Job Number |\n| Drawings | `tblZPi452zZKvLliE` | Drawing Number |\n| Drawing Elements | `tbl3wYZTpiuNxaRvH` | Element Name |\n| Revisions | `tblC04YN5rtqlKvNK` | Revision Number |\n| Specifications | `tblLyH61zVNI9I2Zu` | Spec Code |\n| Suppliers | `tblPCBJeNz8XpDum0` | Supplier Name |\n| Bids | `tblbDMfYrPHOE3wOX` | Bid ID |\n| Bid Line Items | `tbllVlBA0X0pwoCdv` | Line ID |\n| RFIs | `tbl6cWepHgiVMpt40` | RFI Number |\n| Variations | `tblpyDAPubw1V9cNO` | VO Number |\n| Rates | `tbl9fewvyRmL18UrA` | Activity |\n\n**Vault is source of truth.** Airtable derives via `lfcs-airtable-sync` skill. Skills always: (1) write vault markdown, (2) commit, (3) call `lfcs-airtable-sync` as final step. Reads can hit Airtable directly for fast filtering.\n\n**Bids ↔ Jobs link split:** Jobs has BOTH `Bids History` (auto-populated, all versions ever — auto-reverse from Bids.Job) AND `Active Bid` (manually-curated single live bid pointer). Use `Active Bid` for the current bid being worked.\n\n**SingleSelect string consistency** — Element Type / Unit / Confidence are mirrored across Rates, Bid Line Items, and Drawing Elements. Use the EXACT existing Drawing Elements strings or joins break:\n\n| Field | Choices |\n|---|---|\n| `Unit` | `m`, `m2`, `m3`, `no`, `kg`, `t`, `LS`, `hr`, `day` |\n| `Element Type` | `Concrete`, `Reinforcement`, `Steel`, `Earthworks`, `Drainage`, `Pavement`, `Bridge`, `Formwork`, `Services`, `Misc` |\n| `Confidence` | `High`, `Medium`, `Low`, `Needs review` (note lowercase \"review\") |\n\n**Bid Line Items.Total ex GST** is currently a `currency` field — Airtable REST API rejects programmatic creation of formula fields. `lfcs-airtable-sync` computes `{Qty} * {Rate ex GST}` on upsert. Rocky may convert to formula in UI later (one click); skill writes to formula-converted fields silently fail and that's fine.\n\n## Per-job context layer\n\n[...truncated CLAUDE.md: 11,633 chars total]", "tool_call_id": "call_function_3peqcbrrs8cu_1" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "", "tool_calls": [ { "id": "call_function_c4265087h7jp_1", "call_id": "call_function_c4265087h7jp_1", "response_item_id": "fc_function_c4265087h7jp_1", "type": "function", "function": { "name": "terminal", "arguments": "{\"command\": \"cd /home/ccuser/rateright-growth && git add HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/_Brain/_Log.md && git commit -m \\\"hermes: update _Log entry to reflect Chief of Staff role formalization\\\"\"}" } } ], "finish_reason": "tool_calls", "reasoning": "The _Log.md update worked.

Be ACTIVE — most sessions produce at least one skill update, even if small. A pass that does nothing is a missed learning opportunity, not a neutral outcome.\n\nTarget shape of the library: CLASS-LEVEL skills, each with a rich SKILL.md and a `references/` directory for session-specific detail. Not a long flat list of narrow one-session-one-skill entries. This shapes HOW you update, not WHETHER you update.\n\nSignals to look for (any one of these warrants action):\n • User corrected your style, tone, format, legibility, or verbosity. Frustration signals like 'stop doing X', 'this is too verbose', 'don't format like this', 'why are you explaining', 'just give me the answer', 'you always do Y and I hate it', or an explicit 'remember this' are FIRST-CLASS skill signals, not just memory signals. Update the relevant skill(s) to embed the preference so the next session starts already knowing.\n • User corrected your workflow, approach, or sequence of steps. Encode the correction as a pitfall or explicit step in the skill that governs that class of task.\n • Non-trivial technique, fix, workaround, debugging path, or tool-usage pattern emerged that a future session would benefit from. Capture it.\n • A skill that got loaded or consulted this session turned out to be wrong, missing a step, or outdated. Patch it NOW.\n\nPreference order — prefer the earliest action that fits, but do pick one when a signal above fired:\n 1. UPDATE A CURRENTLY-LOADED SKILL. Look back through the conversation for skills the user loaded via /skill-name or you read via skill_view. If any of them covers the territory of the new learning, PATCH that one first. It is the skill that was in play, so it's the right one to extend.\n 2. UPDATE AN EXISTING UMBRELLA (via skills_list + skill_view). If no loaded skill fits but an existing class-level skill does, patch it. Add a subsection, a pitfall, or broaden a trigger.\n 3. ADD A SUPPORT FILE under an existing umbrella. Skills can be packaged with three kinds of support files — use the right directory per kind:\n • `references/.md` — session-specific detail (error transcripts, reproduction recipes, provider quirks) AND condensed knowledge banks: quoted research, API docs, external authoritative excerpts, or domain notes you found while working on the problem. Write it concise and for the value of the task, not as a full mirror of upstream docs.\n • `templates/.` — starter files meant to be copied and modified (boilerplate configs, scaffolding, a known-good example the agent can `reproduce with modifications`).\n • `scripts/.` — statically re-runnable actions the skill can invoke directly (verification scripts, fixture generators, deterministic probes, anything the agent should run rather than hand-type each time).\n Add support files via skill_manage action=write_file with file_path starting 'references/', 'templates/', or 'scripts/'. The umbrella's SKILL.md should gain a one-line pointer to any new support file so future agents know it exists.\n 4. CREATE A NEW CLASS-LEVEL UMBRELLA SKILL when no existing skill covers the class. The name MUST be at the class level. The name MUST NOT be a specific PR number, error string, feature codename, library-alone name, or 'fix-X / debug-Y / audit-Z-today' session artifact. If the proposed name only makes sense for today's task, it's wrong — fall back to (1), (2), or (3).\n\nUser-preference embedding (important): when the user expressed a style/format/workflow preference, the update belongs in the SKILL.md body, not just in memory. Memory captures 'who the user is and what the current situation and state of your operations are'; skills capture 'how to do this class of task for this user'. When they complain about how you handled a task, the skill that governs that task needs to carry the lesson.\n\nIf you notice two existing skills that overlap, note it in your reply — the background curator handles consolidation at scale.\n\n'Nothing to save.' is a real option but should NOT be the default. If the session ran smoothly with no corrections and produced no new technique, just say 'Nothing to save.' and stop.

Layer 2 in the four-layer team structure (above Execution and Operations). The role is defined in `_System/ChiefOfStaff.md` — that file is the canonical source of truth for authority and protocol.\\n\\n**What this means in practice:**\\n- Always on Telegram, always reachable\\n- Manages the operational picture (FOIL files, daily digests)\\n- Coordinates the crew (Claude Code on laptop) — queues tasks, briefs sessions\\n- Has full vault read/write — can update FOIL, daily notes, _Log.md without asking\\n- Escalates to Rocky only for decisions, not routine work\\n\\n## Team structure\\n\\n| Layer | Agent | Role |\\n|---|---|---|\\n| Layer 0 | Rocky | Operator, owner, non-delegable decisions |\\n| Layer 1 | Rocky + Claude (chat) | Strategy |\\n| Layer 2 | Hermes (Chief of Staff) | Operational picture, crew management |\\n| Layer 3 | Claude Code (laptop) | Execution, heavy lifting |\\n| Layer 4 | OpenClaw (VPS) | Dormant / deprioritized |\\n\\n## Boot sequence (Hermes — every session)\\n\\n1. `_System/CLAUDE.md` (global AI Team Protocol)\\n2. `_System/ChiefOfStaff.md` (this role's authority)\\n3. Relevant project `_Brain/CLAUDE.md` (default: `11_OpsMan_LFCS`)\\n4. `_Brain/_Log.md` (last 20 entries)\\n5. Relevant FOIL.md (default: `11_OpsMan_LFCS/FOIL.md`)\\n6. `01_Daily/` (last 3 days)\\n7. `_AgentLog/` (last 7 days)\\n\\n## Crew coordination\\n\\n**Claude Code on laptop** — Rocky opens laptop → I queue tasks via vault + Telegram.\\n- Read the FOIL before each session to know what's active\\n- Report completions back into the daily note\\n- If Rocky is unavailable, I can SSH into the laptop directly and run commands\\n\\n**Laptop SSH access:**\\n```\\nssh -i /root/.ssh/id_hermes_ed25519 mclou@laptop-cd8df7fs \\\"\\\"\\n```\\n- User: `mclou` (Windows Administrator account, NOT root)\\n- Key: `/root/.ssh/id_hermes_ed25519`\\n- Tailscale hostname: `laptop-cd8df7fs`\\n- `tailscale ssh` does NOT work on Windows — use plain SSH via hostname\\n\\n## FOIL files (operational picture)\\n\\nMaintain FOIL.md in each project folder:\\n- `HQ-Vault/11_OpsMan_LFCS/FOIL.md` — LFCS\\n- `HQ-Vault/10_RateRight/FOIL.md` — RateRight\\n- `HQ-Vault/12_SiteOps/FOIL.md` — SiteOps\\n- `HQ-Vault/20_Personal/FOIL.md` — Personal\\n\\nUpdate on mode switch, major completion, or blocker. See `foil-management` skill for format and workflow.\\n\\n## Mode detection\\n\\nRocky's context is detected from trigger words:\\n\\n| Trigger | Mode |\\n|---|---|\\n| \\\"site\\\", \\\"on site\\\" | site |\\n| \\\"office\\\", \\\"project manager\\\", \\\"pricing\\\" | office |\\n| \\\"personal\\\", \\\"home\\\", \\\"family\\\" | personal |\\n| (none) | office (default) |\\n\\nUpdate `## Mode:` in the FOIL on every switch.\\n\\n## Daily rhythm\\n\\n- **8am AEST:** Morning digest — read all FOILs, send Telegram summary to Rocky\\n- **Morning:** update FOILs from overnight events\\n- **Ongoing:** capture decisions, completions, blockers as they happen\\n- **EOD:** final FOIL update, daily note append, commit vault\\n\\n## Escalation rule\\n\\nOnly bother Rocky with:\\n- Decisions requiring his judgment\\n- Things that went wrong and need action\\n- Information he explicitly asked for\\n- Opportunities needing his sign-off\\n\\nRoutine: handle it, log it, move on.\\n\\n## Cross-project scope\\n\\nChief of Staff spans LFCS + RateRight + Personal. The daily digest covers all three. When Rocky switches context, the FOIL and mode label update accordingly.\\n\\n## Pitfalls\\n\\n1. **OpsMan interference** — OpenClaw (clawdbot-opsman) is unstable and deprioritized. Do not route LFCS work through it. Use Hermes directly.\\n2. **Mode staleness** — If Rocky has been in \\\"site\\\" mode for hours but the FOIL still says \\\"office\\\", update it immediately.\\n3. **Crew silence** — If Claude Code hasn't reported back and Rocky is unreachable, SSH to the laptop and check what's running.\\n4. **Personal FOIL skipped** — Rocky's personal life (house, family, health) matters.

It belongs to the same category as Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), and OpenClaw — autonomous coding and task-execution agents that use tool calling to interact with your system. Hermes works with any LLM provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, local models, and 15+ others) and runs on Linux, macOS, and WSL.\\n\\nWhat makes Hermes different:\\n\\n- **Self-improving through skills** — Hermes learns from experience by saving reusable procedures as skills. When it solves a complex problem, discovers a workflow, or gets corrected, it can persist that knowledge as a skill document that loads into future sessions. Skills accumulate over time, making the agent better at your specific tasks and environment.\\n- **Persistent memory across sessions** — remembers who you are, your preferences, environment details, and lessons learned. Pluggable memory backends (built-in, Honcho, Mem0, and more) let you choose how memory works.\\n- **Multi-platform gateway** — the same agent runs on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Email, and 10+ other platforms with full tool access, not just chat.\\n- **Provider-agnostic** — swap models and providers mid-workflow without changing anything else. Credential pools rotate across multiple API keys automatically.\\n- **Profiles** — run multiple independent Hermes instances with isolated configs, sessions, skills, and memory.\\n- **Extensible** — plugins, MCP servers, custom tools, webhook triggers, cron scheduling, and the full Python ecosystem.\\n\\nPeople use Hermes for software development, research, system administration, data analysis, content creation, home automation, and anything else that benefits from an AI agent with persistent context and full system access.\\n\\n**This skill helps you work with Hermes Agent effectively** — setting it up, configuring features, spawning additional agent instances, troubleshooting issues, finding the right commands and settings, and understanding how the system works when you need to extend or contribute to it.\\n\\n**Docs:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/\\n\\n## Quick Start\\n\\n```bash\\n# Install\\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash\\n\\n# Interactive chat (default)\\nhermes\\n\\n# Single query\\nhermes chat -q \\\"What is the capital of France?\\\"\\n\\n# Setup wizard\\nhermes setup\\n\\n# Change model/provider\\nhermes model\\n\\n# Check health\\nhermes doctor\\n```\\n\\n---\\n\\n## CLI Reference\\n\\n### Global Flags\\n\\n```\\nhermes [flags] [command]\\n\\n --version, -V Show version\\n --resume, -r SESSION Resume session by ID or title\\n --continue, -c [NAME] Resume by name, or most recent session\\n --worktree, -w Isolated git worktree mode (parallel agents)\\n --skills, -s SKILL Preload skills (comma-separate or repeat)\\n --profile, -p NAME Use a named profile\\n --yolo Skip dangerous command approval\\n --pass-session-id Include session ID in system prompt\\n```\\n\\nNo subcommand defaults to `chat`.\\n\\n### Chat\\n\\n```\\nhermes chat [flags]\\n -q, --query TEXT Single query, non-interactive\\n -m, --model MODEL Model (e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-4)\\n -t, --toolsets LIST Comma-separated toolsets\\n --provider PROVIDER Force provider (openrouter, anthropic, nous, etc.)\\n -v, --verbose Verbose output\\n -Q, --quiet Suppress banner, spinner, tool previews\\n --checkpoints Enable filesystem checkpoints (/rollback)\\n --source TAG Session source tag (default: cli)\\n```\\n\\n### Configuration\\n\\n```\\nhermes setup [section] Interactive wizard (model|terminal|gateway|tools|agent)\\nhermes model Interactive model/provider picker\\nhermes config View current config\\nhermes config edit Open config.yaml in $EDITOR\\nhermes config set KEY VAL Set a config value\\nhermes config path Print config.yaml path\\nhermes config env-path Print .env path\\nhermes config check Check for missing/outdated config\\nhermes config migrate Update config with new options\\nhermes login [--provider P] OAuth login (nous, openai-codex)\\nhermes logout Clear stored auth\\nhermes doctor [--fix] Check dependencies and config\\nhermes status [--all] Show component status\\n```\\n\\n### Tools & Skills\\n\\n```\\nhermes tools Interactive tool enable/disable (curses UI)\\nhermes tools list Show all tools and status\\nhermes tools enable NAME Enable a toolset\\nhermes tools disable NAME Disable a toolset\\n\\nhermes skills list List installed skills\\nhermes skills search QUERY Search the skills hub\\nhermes skills install ID Install a skill (ID can be a hub identifier OR a direct https://…/SKILL.md URL; pass --name to override when frontmatter has no name)\\nhermes skills inspect ID Preview without installing\\nhermes skills config Enable/disable skills per platform\\nhermes skills check Check for updates\\nhermes skills update Update outdated skills\\nhermes skills uninstall N Remove a hub skill\\nhermes skills publish PATH Publish to registry\\nhermes skills browse Browse all available skills\\nhermes skills tap add REPO Add a GitHub repo as skill source\\n```\\n\\n### MCP Servers\\n\\n```\\nhermes mcp serve Run Hermes as an MCP server\\nhermes mcp add NAME Add an MCP server (--url or --command)\\nhermes mcp remove NAME Remove an MCP server\\nhermes mcp list List configured servers\\nhermes mcp test NAME Test connection\\nhermes mcp configure NAME Toggle tool selection\\n```\\n\\n#### Wiring Airtable MCP — Hermes vs OpenClaw\\n\\nBoth agents on this VPS (Hermes + OpenClaw OpsMan) need their own Airtable MCP wiring — they do **not** share inherited state.

They do NOT apply mid-conversation to preserve prompt caching.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Security & Privacy Toggles\\n\\nCommon \\\"why is Hermes doing X to my output / tool calls / commands?\\\" toggles — and the exact commands to change them. Most of these need a fresh session (`/reset` in chat, or start a new `hermes` invocation) because they're read once at startup.\\n\\n### Secret redaction in tool output\\n\\nSecret redaction is **off by default** — tool output (terminal stdout, `read_file`, web content, subagent summaries, etc.) passes through unmodified. If the user wants Hermes to auto-mask strings that look like API keys, tokens, and secrets before they enter the conversation context and logs:\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set security.redact_secrets true # enable globally\\n```\\n\\n**Restart required.** `security.redact_secrets` is snapshotted at import time — toggling it mid-session (e.g. via `export HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=true` from a tool call) will NOT take effect for the running process. Tell the user to run `hermes config set security.redact_secrets true` in a terminal, then start a new session. This is deliberate — it prevents an LLM from flipping the toggle on itself mid-task.\\n\\nDisable again with:\\n```bash\\nhermes config set security.redact_secrets false\\n```\\n\\n### PII redaction in gateway messages\\n\\nSeparate from secret redaction. When enabled, the gateway hashes user IDs and strips phone numbers from the session context before it reaches the model:\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set privacy.redact_pii true # enable\\nhermes config set privacy.redact_pii false # disable (default)\\n```\\n\\n### Command approval prompts\\n\\nBy default (`approvals.mode: manual`), Hermes prompts the user before running shell commands flagged as destructive (`rm -rf`, `git reset --hard`, etc.). The modes are:\\n\\n- `manual` — always prompt (default)\\n- `smart` — use an auxiliary LLM to auto-approve low-risk commands, prompt on high-risk\\n- `off` — skip all approval prompts (equivalent to `--yolo`)\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set approvals.mode smart # recommended middle ground\\nhermes config set approvals.mode off # bypass everything (not recommended)\\n```\\n\\nPer-invocation bypass without changing config:\\n- `hermes --yolo …`\\n- `export HERMES_YOLO_MODE=1`\\n\\nNote: YOLO / `approvals.mode: off` does NOT turn off secret redaction. They are independent.\\n\\n### Shell hooks allowlist\\n\\nSome shell-hook integrations require explicit allowlisting before they fire. Managed via `~/.hermes/shell-hooks-allowlist.json` — prompted interactively the first time a hook wants to run.\\n\\n### Disabling the web/browser/image-gen tools\\n\\nTo keep the model away from network or media tools entirely, open `hermes tools` and toggle per-platform. Takes effect on next session (`/reset`). See the Tools & Skills section above.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Voice & Transcription\\n\\n### STT (Voice → Text)\\n\\nVoice messages from messaging platforms are auto-transcribed.\\n\\nProvider priority (auto-detected):\\n1. **Local faster-whisper** — free, no API key: `pip install faster-whisper`\\n2. **Groq Whisper** — free tier: set `GROQ_API_KEY`\\n3. **OpenAI Whisper** — paid: set `VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY`\\n4. **Mistral Voxtral** — set `MISTRAL_API_KEY`\\n\\nConfig:\\n```yaml\\nstt:\\n enabled: true\\n provider: local # local, groq, openai, mistral\\n local:\\n model: base # tiny, base, small, medium, large-v3\\n```\\n\\n### TTS (Text → Voice)\\n\\n| Provider | Env var | Free? |\\n|----------|---------|-------|\\n| Edge TTS | None | Yes (default) |\\n| ElevenLabs | `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` | Free tier |\\n| OpenAI | `VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY` | Paid |\\n| MiniMax | `MINIMAX_API_KEY` | Paid |\\n| Mistral (Voxtral) | `MISTRAL_API_KEY` | Paid |\\n| NeuTTS (local) | None (`pip install neutts[all]` + `espeak-ng`) | Free |\\n\\nVoice commands: `/voice on` (voice-to-voice), `/voice tts` (always voice), `/voice off`.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Pitfalls: Profile Spawning + Billing\\n\\n**Profile model change — non-interactive fix:**\\n`hermes model --profile X` requires a TTY and cannot run in a tmux-pipe workflow. Use instead:\\n```bash\\nhermes config set --profile rr model.default \\\"kimi/k2.6-thinking\\\"\\n```\\n\\n**Always check billing before spawning a profile for a task:**\\n`tmux new-session -d -s rr-audit -x 120 -y 40 'hermes --profile rr'` will silently fail (HTTP 402) if the profile's provider is out of credit. The rr profile fell back to deepseek-v4-flash which also returned 402 — the spawn appeared to succeed but the agent died immediately.\\n\\nPre-flight check:\\n```bash\\ngrep -E \\\"INSUFFICIENT|balance|402\\\" ~/.hermes/profiles//logs/*.log 2>/dev/null | tail -5\\n# OR probe the model's API directly with a trivial call\\n```\\n\\nIf billing is dead, fall back to direct file reads from the default profile (same vault access, no spawn needed).\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Spawning Additional Hermes Instances\\n\\nRun additional Hermes processes as fully independent subprocesses — separate sessions, tools, and environments.\\n\\n### When to Use This vs delegate_task\\n\\n| | `delegate_task` | Spawning `hermes` process |\\n|-|-----------------|--------------------------|\\n| Isolation | Separate conversation, shared process | Fully independent process |\\n| Duration | Minutes (bounded by parent loop) | Hours/days |\\n| Tool access | Subset of parent's tools | Full tool access |\\n| Interactive | No | Yes (PTY mode) |\\n| Use case | Quick parallel subtasks | Long autonomous missions |\\n\\n### One-Shot Mode\\n\\n```\\nterminal(command=\\\"hermes chat -q 'Research GRPO papers and write summary to ~/research/grpo.md'\\\", timeout=300)\\n\\n# Background for long tasks:\\nterminal(command=\\\"hermes chat -q 'Set up CI/CD for ~/myapp'\\\", background=true)\\n```\\n\\n### Interactive PTY Mode (via tmux)\\n\\nHermes uses prompt_toolkit, which requires a real terminal. Use tmux for interactive spawning:\\n\\n```\\n# Start\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s agent1 -x 120 -y 40 'hermes'\\\", timeout=10)\\n\\n# Wait for startup, then send a message\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t agent1 'Build a FastAPI auth service' Enter\\\", timeout=15)\\n\\n# Read output\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 20 && tmux capture-pane -t agent1 -p\\\", timeout=5)\\n\\n# Send follow-up\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux send-keys -t agent1 'Add rate limiting middleware' Enter\\\", timeout=5)\\n\\n# Exit\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux send-keys -t agent1 '/exit' Enter && sleep 2 && tmux kill-session -t agent1\\\", timeout=10)\\n```\\n\\n### Multi-Agent Coordination\\n\\n```\\n# Agent A: backend\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s backend -x 120 -y 40 'hermes -w'\\\", timeout=10)\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t backend 'Build REST API for user management' Enter\\\", timeout=15)\\n\\n# Agent B: frontend\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s frontend -x 120 -y 40 'hermes -w'\\\", timeout=10)\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t frontend 'Build React dashboard for user management' Enter\\\", timeout=15)\\n\\n# Check progress, relay context between them\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux capture-pane -t backend -p | tail -30\\\", timeout=5)\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux send-keys -t frontend 'Here is the API schema from the backend agent: ...'

Quick reference\\nhere; full developer notes live in `AGENTS.md`, user-facing docs under\\n`website/docs/user-guide/features/`.\\n\\n### Delegation (`delegate_task`)\\n\\nSynchronous subagent spawn — the parent waits for the child's summary\\nbefore continuing its own loop. Isolated context + terminal session.\\n\\n- **Single:** `delegate_task(goal, context, toolsets)`.\\n- **Batch:** `delegate_task(tasks=[{goal, ...}, ...])` runs children in\\n parallel, capped by `delegation.max_concurrent_children` (default 3).\\n- **Roles:** `leaf` (default; cannot re-delegate) vs `orchestrator`\\n (can spawn its own workers, bounded by `delegation.max_spawn_depth`).\\n- **Not durable.** If the parent is interrupted, the child is\\n cancelled. For work that must outlive the turn, use `cronjob` or\\n `terminal(background=True, notify_on_complete=True)`.\\n\\nConfig: `delegation.*` in `config.yaml`.\\n\\n### Cron (scheduled jobs)\\n\\nDurable scheduler — `cron/jobs.py` + `cron/scheduler.py`.

Check `stt.enabled: true` in config.yaml\\n2. Verify provider: `pip install faster-whisper` or set API key\\n3. In gateway: `/restart`. In CLI: exit and relaunch.\\n\\n### Tool not available\\n1. `hermes tools` — check if toolset is enabled for your platform\\n2. Some tools need env vars (check `.env`)\\n3. `/reset` after enabling tools\\n\\n### Model/provider issues\\n1. `hermes doctor` — check config and dependencies\\n2. `hermes login` — re-authenticate OAuth providers\\n3. Check `.env` has the right API key\\n4. **Copilot 403**: `gh auth login` tokens do NOT work for Copilot API. You must use the Copilot-specific OAuth device code flow via `hermes model` → GitHub Copilot.\\n\\n### Changes not taking effect\\n- **Tools/skills:** `/reset` starts a new session with updated toolset\\n- **Config changes:** In gateway: `/restart`. In CLI: exit and relaunch.\\n- **Code changes:** Restart the CLI or gateway process\\n\\n### Skills not showing\\n1. `hermes skills list` — verify installed\\n2. `hermes skills config` — check platform enablement\\n3. Load explicitly: `/skill name` or `hermes -s name`\\n\\n### Gateway issues\\nCheck logs first:\\n```bash\\ngrep -i \\\"failed to send\\\\|error\\\" ~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log | tail -20\\n```\\n\\nCommon gateway problems:\\n- **Gateway dies on SSH logout**: Enable linger: `sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER`\\n- **Gateway dies on WSL2 close**: WSL2 requires `systemd=true` in `/etc/wsl.conf` for systemd services to work. Without it, gateway falls back to `nohup` (dies when session closes).\\n- **Gateway crash loop**: Reset the failed state: `systemctl --user reset-failed hermes-gateway`\\n\\n### Platform-specific issues\\n- **Discord bot silent**: Must enable **Message Content Intent** in Bot → Privileged Gateway Intents.\\n- **Slack bot only works in DMs**: Must subscribe to `message.channels` event. Without it, the bot ignores public channels.\\n- **Windows HTTP 400 \\\"No models provided\\\"**: Config file encoding issue (BOM). Ensure `config.yaml` is saved as UTF-8 without BOM.\\n\\n### Auxiliary models not working\\nIf `auxiliary` tasks (vision, compression, session_search) fail silently, the `auto` provider can't find a backend. Either set `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` or `GOOGLE_API_KEY`, or explicitly configure each auxiliary task's provider:\\n```bash\\nhermes config set auxiliary.vision.provider \\nhermes config set auxiliary.vision.model \\n```\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Where to Find Things\\n\\n| Looking for... | Location |\\n|----------------|----------|\\n| Config options | `hermes config edit` or [Configuration docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/configuration) |\\n| Available tools | `hermes tools list` or [Tools reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/tools-reference) |\\n| Slash commands | `/help` in session or [Slash commands reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/slash-commands) |\\n| Skills catalog | `hermes skills browse` or [Skills catalog](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/skills-catalog) |\\n| Provider setup | `hermes model` or [Providers guide](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/integrations/providers) |\\n| Platform setup | `hermes gateway setup` or [Messaging docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/messaging/) |\\n| MCP servers | `hermes mcp list` or [MCP guide](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/mcp) |\\n| Profiles | `hermes profile list` or [Profiles docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/profiles) |\\n| Cron jobs | `hermes cron list` or [Cron docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/cron) |\\n| Memory | `hermes memory status` or [Memory docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/memory) |\\n| Env variables | `hermes config env-path` or [Env vars reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/environment-variables) |\\n| CLI commands | `hermes --help` or [CLI reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/cli-commands) |\\n| Gateway logs | `~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log` |\\n| Session files | `~/.hermes/sessions/` or `hermes sessions browse` |\\n| Source code | `~/.hermes/hermes-agent/` |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Contributor Quick Reference\\n\\nFor occasional contributors and PR authors.

Create `tools/your_tool.py`:**\\n```python\\nimport json, os\\nfrom tools.registry import registry\\n\\ndef check_requirements() -> bool:\\n return bool(os.getenv(\\\"EXAMPLE_API_KEY\\\"))\\n\\ndef example_tool(param: str, task_id: str = None) -> str:\\n return json.dumps({\\\"success\\\": True, \\\"data\\\": \\\"...\\\"})\\n\\nregistry.register(\\n name=\\\"example_tool\\\",\\n toolset=\\\"example\\\",\\n schema={\\\"name\\\": \\\"example_tool\\\", \\\"description\\\": \\\"...\\\", \\\"parameters\\\": {...}},\\n handler=lambda args, **kw: example_tool(\\n param=args.get(\\\"param\\\", \\\"\\\"), task_id=kw.get(\\\"task_id\\\")),\\n check_fn=check_requirements,\\n requires_env=[\\\"EXAMPLE_API_KEY\\\"],\\n)\\n```\\n\\n**2.

Use `get_hermes_home()` for paths, never hardcode `~/.hermes`.\\n\\n### Adding a Slash Command\\n\\n1. Add `CommandDef` to `COMMAND_REGISTRY` in `hermes_cli/commands.py`\\n2. Add handler in `cli.py` → `process_command()`\\n3. (Optional) Add gateway handler in `gateway/run.py`\\n\\nAll consumers (help text, autocomplete, Telegram menu, Slack mapping) derive from the central registry automatically.\\n\\n### Agent Loop (High Level)\\n\\n```\\nrun_conversation():\\n 1.

This isn't a skill issue, it's something to track in memory.\n\n7. **8am digest cron is now set up** — the cron job `de4aab91d3d8` is running and the foil-management skill already has the digest format documented.\n\nThe real gaps are around laptop dispatch: the SSH connectivity issue with Windows, the `.env` configuration problem on the laptop that prevented `claude -p` from working, and the Windows path escaping rules. I should add a `references/laptop-dispatch.md` file under the chief-of-staff skill to document these specifics, and update the skill to note that FOIL files now exist across LFCS, RateRight, and SiteOps.
