# SESSION CHEAT SHEET - CLAWDBOT VERSION
## READ THIS AT THE START OF EVERY NEW CHAT SESSION

**IMPORTANT:** This is a summary. Full details in `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/SESSION-CHEAT-SHEET.md`

---

## 🚨 READ THIS FIRST IN EVERY SESSION

### **Critical Architecture (What I Got Wrong):**
```
TWO SYSTEMS:
1. THIS (Clawdbot): DeepSeek primary, $1/month, autonomous ops
2. EXTERNAL (Claude Code): Dave freelancer, Max plan, coding/research

Dave = EXTERNAL Claude Code freelancer (NOT internal agent)
Communication: INBOX.md → OUTBOX.md (GitHub style)
```

### **Financial Safety:**
- **Primary:** DeepSeek (cheap, $1/month)
- **Backup only:** Claude Opus (expensive, manual override only)
- **Reason:** Opus would cost ~$108/month for 24/7 ops

---

## 📚 EXISTING DOCS (CHECK FIRST!):

### **MUST READ:**
1. `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/docs/LESSONS-CLEANED.md` **(CURATED VERSION)**
2. `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/docs/LESSONS.md` (852 lines, raw)
3. `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/docs/VPS-CC-CHEATSHEET.md`
4. `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/SESSION-CHEAT-SHEET.md` (full version)

### **Tonight's Work (2026-02-02):**
- ✅ Autonomous system built (Strategic COO, agents)
- ✅ Dave monitoring (5-min, 10-minute pattern)
- ✅ Script monitoring (15-min, jailbox system)
- ✅ Financial safety configured

---

## 🚫 COMMON MISTAKES:

### **DON'T:**
- Create new Dave agent (external exists)
- Create new lessons docs (LESSONS.md exists)
- Assume migrations can't be automated (Dave can via MCP)
- Use Opus for autonomous work (financially dangerous)

### **DO:**
- Read existing docs first
- Check INBOX.md/OUTBOX.md for Dave
- Use DeepSeek for autonomous work
- Build on existing systems

---

## ⏰ AUTOMATION RUNNING:

```
5 min: Dave monitoring (10-minute pattern)
15 min: Script monitoring (jailbox)
30 min: Git sync (memory)
60 min: Strategic COO analysis
Daily 02:00: Curator organization
```

---

## 🎯 CURRENT PRIORITIES:

### **P0 Critical:**
1. Job locking migration (needs Supabase SQL)
2. Dave monitoring (already running)

### **P1 Important:**
1. SMS compliance research (July 2026 deadline)
2. Candidate verification (12 from audit)

---

## 🤖 HOW TO WORK:

### **With Dave (external):**
1. Add task to `INBOX.md`
2. Dave works (external Claude Code)
3. Check `OUTBOX.md` for results

### **For System:**
1. Check `LESSONS.md` first
2. Test before deployment
3. Update documentation
4. Consider monitoring

---

## 📝 SESSION STARTUP:

### **BEFORE WORK:**
1. ✅ Read this cheat sheet
2. ✅ Check `LESSONS.md` updates
3. ✅ Review `INBOX.md`/`OUTBOX.md`
4. ✅ Verify monitoring running
5. ✅ Understand priorities

### **AFTER SESSION:**
1. ✅ Update `LESSONS.md`
2. ✅ Update documentation
3. ✅ Verify monitoring
4. ✅ Commit to git

---

## 💡 REMEMBER:

**You are continuing work in an existing system.**  
**Build on what exists, don't recreate it.**  
**This prevents the confusion from 2026-02-02.**
