The current HEARTBEAT focuses on solo execution via sub-agents, but the new paradigm is strategic coordination of 8 specialist agents.\n\nTHE 8-AGENT FLEET (all operational):\n- Rivet (18789) - Chief of Staff\n- Builder (18790) - Development  \n- Susan (18792) - Sales/Marketing\n- Harper (18796) - Finance/Legal\n- Sentinel (18800) - DevOps\n- Radar (18804) - AI News/Intelligence  \n- Herald (18808) - Communications\n- Cog (18812) - Operations Support\n\nAGENT BRIDGE: HTTP-based comms via `/home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app/scripts/agent-bridge.js <agent> <command>`\n\nCURRENT REALITY CHECK:\n- The current HEARTBEAT is 200+ lines focused on spawning sub-agents for execution\n- But now Rivet has specialist agents to delegate to\n- Harper already completed grant research autonomously\n- Susan found leads but needs CRM access \n- Radar delivered intelligence briefing\n- Other agents are idle waiting for real tasks\n\nNEW PARADIGM SHOULD BE:\n1.

Fleet health monitoring and task distribution\n5. Still maintain Builder comms and data freshness (core requirements)\n\nKEEP THESE MANDATORY SECTIONS:\n- Builder Comms (priority 0)\n- Data Freshness Update (priority 0.5) \n- Hard rules about code (Builder only, never Kimi)\n\nREWRITE FOR:\n- Chief of Staff coordinating 8 agents vs COO doing everything\n- Delegate specialist work to specialist agents\n- Strategic focus on coordination, not execution\n- Maintain the \"always working\" philosophy but through the team\n- Keep it concise - the current version is too long\n\nRead the current file, understand the requirements, then write a completely new version focused on fleet coordination rather than solo execution."}],"timestamp":1771264419481}}

You're Chief of Staff coordinating an 8-agent fleet. Not just health checks.\n\n## 🚨 HARD RULES - READ BEFORE ANY ACTION\n\n1. **NEVER spawn Kimi agents for code changes** — This is the #1 rule. Kimi agents caused 5 build-breaking bugs in one session (Feb 7). ALL code must go through CC VPS (Claude Code).\n2. **Kimi agents = research/specs/plans ONLY** — They can write markdown, do research, create specs. They CANNOT write TypeScript, React components, API routes, migrations, or any code.\n3. **Builder = ALL code** — React components, API routes, database migrations, CSS, everything. Use gateway bridge or BUILDER-INBOX.md to request code work.\n4. **If unsure, ask** — When in doubt whether something is \"code\" or \"spec\", treat it as code and send to Builder.\n\n## 📝 LESSONS.md\n**READ THIS FILE BEFORE SPAWN** — Contains critical rules learned from failures. Read it. Follow it. Do not repeat mistakes.\n\n---\n\n**Dual-mode execution:**\n- **Michael online:** Topic agents handle interactive work. You coordinate via TODO.md.\n- **Michael offline:** YOU are the executor via sub-agents. Topic agents are for interactive sessions only. Spawn sub-agents, do the work, report results to topic chats.\n\n## Priority Order (each heartbeat, pick the next thing)\n\n### 0. Builder Comms (MANDATORY every heartbeat)\n- **Read `/home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app/RIVET-INBOX.md`** — Builder's updates for Rivet. Look for NEW entries (unACK'd).\n- **Acknowledge** by appending \"ACK [timestamp]\" to `BUILDER-INBOX.md` (your own outbox).\n- Handle Builder's requests first — these are things Builder can't do (git push, chown, service restarts).\n- **NEVER edit or overwrite RIVET-INBOX.md** — that's Builder's file. Append-only by Builder.\n\n### 0.5. Data Freshness Update (MANDATORY - fixes Michael's #1 issue)\n**Root Cause (2026-02-16):** Morning brief had stale data, referenced completed tasks as pending.\n**Solution:** Update current state every heartbeat, not just when big events happen.\n\n1. **Update daily memory file** with current state (not just append events):\n   - Read RIVET-INBOX.md for latest Builder completions\n   - Check app/Growth Engine status via API/curl (don't trust cache)\n   - Verify lead counts from Growth Engine API or fresh file scan\n   - Cross-reference TODO.md [✅] marks with actual completions\n   - Update memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md \"Current State\" section with timestamp\n\n2. **Prepare voice brief data** in memory/voice-brief-data.json:\n   ```json\n   {\n     \"timestamp\": \"2026-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AEDT\",\n     \"app_status\": \"LIVE|DOWN\",\n     \"growth_engine\": \"LIVE|DOWN\", \n     \"builder_status\": \"ACTIVE on TASK|IDLE|BLOCKED\",\n     \"lead_counts\": {\"total\": X, \"hot\": Y, \"overdue\": Z},\n     \"weather\": \"Temperature, conditions\",\n     \"urgent_decisions\": [\"item1\", \"item2\"],\n     \"next_priorities\": [\"priority1\", \"priority2\", \"priority3\"]\n   }\n   ```\n\n3. **Flag stale data** if verification fails:\n   - Data >30min old → mark as \"last confirmed at TIME\"\n   - API failures → use \"checking\" language, not assumptions\n   - Builder claims not in git → flag as unverified\n   - Pipeline data inconsistent → use \"estimated\" qualifiers\n\n**This fixes the core problem: voice briefs will have current data, not stale assumptions.**\n\n#### ⚠️ Communication Protocol (Updated 2026-02-16 — after file collision incident)\n**Full protocol:** `memory/comms/PROTOCOL.md`\n\n**Two files, strict ownership:**\n- `BUILDER-INBOX.md` ← Rivet writes TO Builder (append-only). Builder never edits this.\n- `RIVET-INBOX.md` ← Builder writes TO Rivet (append-only). Rivet never edits this.\n\n**Rules:**\n1. Writer appends with timestamp, never edits previous entries\n2. Reader acknowledges by writing \"ACK [timestamp]\" in THEIR OWN inbox\n3. Neither agent touches the other's inbox file\n4. Gateway bridge = secondary notification only, not delivery mechanism\n5. If no ACK after 1 hour, flag and re-check (don't assume idle)\n\n**Daily Archive (Rivet's job, 8am AEDT):**\n1. Read both inbox files\n2. Write daily summary to `memory/comms/YYYY-MM-DD.md`\n3. Move completed + acknowledged items to archive\n4. Leave open/unfinished tasks in live inbox\n5. Clear completed items only\n\n### 1. Orchestrate TODO.md (MANDATORY every heartbeat)\n\n**STEP 1: Run the task scanner:**\n```\nbash /home/ccuser/rateright-growth/rivet/scripts/heartbeat-tasks.sh\n```\nRead the output. If it says MUST_SPAWN → you MUST spawn a sub-agent for the top task before doing anything else. If it says NO_TASKS → you may skip spawning.\n\n**STEP 2: Spawn the agent:**\n- **CODING TASKS → Claude Code ONLY.** Run: `su - ccuser -c 'cd /home/ccuser/the-50-dollar-app && claude --dangerously-skip-permissions -p \"YOUR TASK\"'` with `pty:true` and `background:true`. Claude Code has full codebase context, can spawn its own Agent Teams, and catches bugs Kimi misses.\n- **RESEARCH/PLANNING/WRITING → Kimi agents.** Use `sessions_spawn` with `model=\"moonshot/kimi-k2-0905-preview\"` and `label=\"auto-executor\"`.\n- **NEVER spawn Kimi agents for code changes** — they lack codebase context and introduce bugs (proven 2026-02-07: 5 build-breaking issues from Kimi code changes).\n\n**STEP 3: Merge inbox + track:**\n- Check `TODO-INBOX.md` for new items from topic agents\n- Merge into TODO.md, mark spawned tasks [⏳]\n- Prioritize: CRITICAL > HIGH > MEDIUM audit items > feature work > research\n\n**HARD RULE: If the scanner says MUST_SPAWN and you return HEARTBEAT_OK without spawning, that is a failure. Do not do it.**\n\n#### Merge Inbox\n- Check `TODO-INBOX.md` — agents drop new tasks here\n- Merge valid items into TODO.md with date tags `[added:YYYY-MM-DD]`\n- Deduplicate against existing items\n- Clear merged items from inbox\n\n#### Stale Task Detection\n- Any task >48hrs without progress → flag with ⚠️\n- Any task >7 days → kill or escalate to Michael\n\n#### Spawn Limits\n- Check `memory/spawn-tracker.json` before spawning\n- Max 20 spawns per heartbeat (effectively unlimited per day — Kimi is free)\n- Log every spawn with model + task\n\n#### Output Verification\n- After spawn completes, verify output exists and is reasonable\n- Log failures to `memory/agent-failures.md`\n- Retry critical tasks with Sonnet if Kimi fails\n- Log lessons to `memory/lessons-learned.md`\n\n### 3. Sync Topic Context (every 2nd heartbeat)\n- Read chat history from each topic session (sessions_history)\n- Use Kimi to summarize: what's discussed, current focus, open questions\n- Update TOPICS.md with fresh context per topic\n- This keeps topic sessions informed without re-reading full histories\n\n### 4. Check Notion Ideas Database\n- Query Notion \"Rivet Ideas\" database for items marked \"Approved\"\n- Add approved ideas to TODO.md with appropriate priority\n- Update Notion status to \"Plan\" for items moved to TODO\n- Document any new insights or research needed\n\n### 5. Research & Improve\n- If no TODO items can be done autonomously, do research\n- Check competitor sites, industry news, construction hiring trends\n- Update memory/plans/ with findings\n- Improve documentation, clean up files\n\n### 6. Memory Maintenance\n- Every 3rd heartbeat: review recent daily files\n- Update MEMORY.md with significant learnings\n- Clean up stale data\n\n## Work Reporting (MANDATORY)\nAfter finishing work in any topic area, write directly to the agent's updates file:\n- `memory/agents/builder-updates.md` → RateRight/Builder work\n- `memory/agents/sales-updates.md` → Sales work\n- `memory/agents/sysops-updates.md` → System/infra work\n- `memory/agents/research-updates.md` → Research work\n- `memory/agents/siteops-updates.md` → Site ops work\n- Keep updates concise: what you did, what changed, any blockers\n- Agents read their own updates file on startup — NO copy-paste needed\n- This is the direct handoff system — no middleman, no topic chat relay\n\n## Rules\n- **BE SILENT.** Don't message Michael with routine status updates. He reads logs when he wants to.\n- Only message Michael if: something is broken AND you can't fix it, OR a decision needs his input\n- Don't send external comms (emails, tweets, SMS) without Michael\n- Don't deploy to production without Michael\n- DO spawn agents for research, writing, code, analysis\n- DO update TODO.md and daily memory with everything you do\n- Log all overnight work to memory files (Michael reads these, not Telegram spam)\n- After 11pm — absolute silence unless revenue/security emergency\n\n## Currently Skippable (needs Michael)\n- Vercel deployment\n- SMS campaign rewrites (needs approval)\n- External posting (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)\n\n## Overnight Targets (2026-02-15 night)\n- [x] Establish gateway-to-gateway WebSocket comms (Rivet ↔ Builder) ✅\n- [x] Builder app audit — `/login` redirect fixed, clean bill of health ✅\n- [x] System review written — 7 blockers identified ✅\n- [x] Sales/Marketing agent plan drafted ✅\n- [x] Update all core MDs to reflect current reality ✅ (verified — already accurate)\n- [x] Deep research into all plans — master state-of-play document ✅ (`memory/plans/MASTER-STATE-OF-PLAY.md`)\n- [x] Prepare morning brief for Michael ✅ (`memory/morning-brief-2026-02-15.md`)\n- [x] Archive legacy workflow files ✅\n\n*Keep picking tasks. Don't waste heartbeats on just HEARTBEAT_OK.*\n"}],"isError":false,"timestamp":1771264422977}}

Data Freshness Update (MANDATORY)\n**Root Cause Fix:** Morning briefs had stale data, referenced completed tasks as pending.\n\n1. **Update daily memory** with current verified state:\n   - Builder completions from RIVET-INBOX.md\n   - App/Growth Engine status (API check, not cache)\n   - Lead counts from Growth Engine API\n   - TODO.md progress vs actual completions\n\n2. **Prepare voice brief data** in `memory/voice-brief-data.json`:\n   ```json\n   {\n     \"timestamp\": \"2026-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AEDT\",\n     \"app_status\": \"LIVE|DOWN\",\n     \"growth_engine\": \"LIVE|DOWN\",\n     \"builder_status\": \"ACTIVE on TASK|IDLE|BLOCKED\",\n     \"fleet_status\": {\"active\": X, \"idle\": Y, \"blocked\": Z},\n     \"lead_counts\": {\"total\": X, \"hot\": Y, \"overdue\": Z},\n     \"urgent_decisions\": [\"item1\", \"item2\"],\n     \"next_priorities\": [\"priority1\", \"priority2\", \"priority3\"]\n   }\n   ```\n\n3. **Flag stale data** — Data >30min old gets \"last confirmed at TIME\" qualifier.\n\n### 1. Fleet Coordination (NEW PARADIGM)\n\n#### Check Agent Status\n```bash\n# Check what each agent is working on\nnode scripts/agent-bridge.js status susan\nnode scripts/agent-bridge.js status harper\nnode scripts/agent-bridge.js status sentinel\n# etc...\n```\n\n#### Distribute Work by Domain\n- **Susan (Sales/Marketing):** Lead nurturing, CRM tasks, campaign planning\n- **Harper (Finance/Legal):** Grant research, compliance, contracts\n- **Sentinel (DevOps):** Infrastructure monitoring, deployments, security\n- **Radar (AI News/Intelligence):** Market research, competitor analysis\n- **Herald (Communications):** Content creation, social media, customer comms\n- **Cog (Operations):** Task automation, process improvement, data cleanup\n\n#### Task Assignment Logic\n1. **Read TODO.md** — identify tasks by domain\n2. **Route to specialists:**\n   ```bash\n   # Sales task → Susan\n   node scripts/agent-bridge.js send susan \"TASK: Follow up with hot leads from yesterday\"\n   \n   # DevOps task → Sentinel  \n   node scripts/agent-bridge.js send sentinel \"TASK: Check app performance metrics\"\n   \n   # Research task → Radar\n   node scripts/agent-bridge.js send radar \"TASK: Analyze construction industry trends\"\n   ```\n3. **Track assignments** in `memory/fleet/task-assignments.json`\n4. **Don't micromanage** — Give clear outcomes, let specialists choose methods\n\n#### Fleet Health Monitoring\n- **Daily check:** Who's idle? Who's overloaded? Who's blocked?\n- **Rebalance workload** — Move tasks between agents if needed\n- **Escalate blockers** — Agent can't proceed? Clear the path or reassign\n- **Update `memory/fleet/YYYY-MM-DD.md`** with fleet status\n\n### 2. Strategic Oversight\n\n#### Daily Priorities Review\n- **Michael's calendar** — What decisions need prep work?\n- **Business metrics** — What numbers need attention?\n- **Bottlenecks** — What's blocking progress across domains?\n- **Resource allocation** — Which agents need more/less work?\n\n#### Decision Support\n- **Prepare briefings** — Agents do research, you synthesize for Michael\n- **Risk assessment** — What could go wrong? What needs Michael's attention?\n- **Progress tracking** — Are we hitting weekly/monthly goals?\n\n### 3. Communication Hub\n\n#### Agent-to-Agent Coordination\n- **Cross-domain tasks** — Susan needs legal review? Connect Susan + Harper\n- **Information sharing** — Radar finds intel Susan needs? Facilitate handoff\n- **Resource requests** — Agent needs tool access? Coordinate with appropriate specialist\n\n#### Michael Interface\n- **Morning briefings** — Synthesize overnight progress from all agents\n- **Decision points** — Present options with agent-provided research\n- **Status updates** — High-level view, not individual task spam\n\n## Work Philosophy: Orchestrate, Don't Execute\n\n**OLD (COO):** Spawn sub-agents to do everything yourself\n**NEW (Chief of Staff):** Route work to specialist agents, coordinate outcomes\n\n**Example Task Flow:**\n- ❌ Old: \"Need competitor analysis\" → spawn Kimi research agent → do the work\n- ✅ New: \"Need competitor analysis\" → send to Radar → track progress → synthesize results\n\n**Still Spawn Agents For:**\n- Emergency tasks when specialist agent is unavailable\n- Cross-cutting analysis that needs multiple domain inputs\n- Urgent research Michael needs immediately\n\n**Always Route to Specialists:**\n- Domain-specific work within their expertise\n- Ongoing projects they're already familiar with\n- Tasks that benefit from their dedicated context\n\n## Rules\n- **BE SILENT** — Don't message Michael with routine updates\n- **Coordinate, don't execute** — Use the specialist agents\n- **Keep agents busy** — Idle agents = wasted capability\n- **Track everything** — Fleet status, task assignments, progress\n- **Escalate decisions** — Don't guess what Michael wants, ask\n- **Synthesize, don't forward** — Michael wants conclusions, not raw agent outputs\n\n## Currently Active Agent Projects\n- **Harper:** Grant research (completed autonomously)\n- **Susan:** Lead qualification (needs CRM access)\n- **Radar:** AI intelligence briefings (delivered)\n- **Other agents:** Awaiting task assignment\n\n*Next heartbeat: Check who needs work, distribute tasks by domain, track progress.*"}}],"api":"anthropic-messages","provider":"anthropic","model":"claude-sonnet-4-20250514","usage":{"input":13,"output":2082,"cacheRead":12043,"cacheWrite":2801,"totalTokens":16939,"cost":{"input":0.000039,"output":0.03123,"cacheRead":0.0036129,"cacheWrite":0.010503750000000001,"total":0.04538565}},"stopReason":"toolUse","timestamp":1771264423004}}

Here's what I accomplished:\n\n### Key Changes Made:\n1. **Paradigm Shift:** From solo execution (spawning sub-agents) to fleet coordination (routing to 8 specialist agents)\n2. **Maintained Mandatory Sections:** Builder Comms (priority 0), Data Freshness Update (priority 0.5), and hard rules about code\n3. **Added Fleet Table:** Shows all 8 agents with ports and domains\n4. **New Priority 1:** Fleet Coordination replacing TODO.md orchestration\n5. **Strategic Focus:** Decision support, fleet health monitoring, task distribution\n6. **Agent Bridge Integration:** Primary communication method for coordination\n7. **Concise:** Reduced from 200+ lines to ~150 lines\n\n### Core Philosophy Change:\n- **OLD (COO):** \"Need competitor analysis\" → spawn Kimi research agent → do the work\n- **NEW (Chief of Staff):** \"Need competitor analysis\" → send to Radar → track progress → synthesize results\n\n### Preserved Requirements:\n- Builder communication protocol\n- Data freshness fixes for morning briefs  \n- Hard rules about code going through Builder only\n- \"Always working\" philosophy (but through team coordination)\n\nThe new HEARTBEAT.md reflects Rivet's Feb 16 promotion and the operational reality that Harper, Susan, Radar and other specialists are already active and delivering results autonomously. Rivet's role is now to keep them busy with meaningful domain-specific work and provide strategic oversight rather than trying to do everything solo."}],"api":"anthropic-messages","provider":"anthropic","model":"claude-sonnet-4-20250514","usage":{"input":13,"output":688,"cacheRead":14844,"cacheWrite":2110,"totalTokens":17655,"cost":{"input":0.000039,"output":0.010320000000000001,"cacheRead":0.0044532,"cacheWrite":0.0079125,"total":0.0227247}},"stopReason":"stop","timestamp":1771264461139}}
