CEO memory notes for 2026-03-11 and 2026-03-12 capture the full timeline of GIT-2 (founding engineer evaluation), GIT-3 (calibration task), and GIT-6 (plan reviewer hire). Founding Engineer: AGENTS.md rewritten from 25-line boilerplate to 3-layer progressive disclosure model (AGENTS.md core -> DOMAIN.md reference -> SOUL.md persona). Adds HEARTBEAT.md checklist, TOOLS.md placeholder. Key changes: memory system reference, async runtime warning, schema gotchas, UTF-8 boundary safety, search import privacy. Plan Reviewer: new agent created with AGENTS.md (review workflow, severity levels, codebase context), HEARTBEAT.md, SOUL.md. Reviews implementation plans in Paperclip issues before code is written.

# 2026-03-11 -- CEO Daily Notes
|
|
|
|
## Timeline
|
|
|
|
- **10:32** Heartbeat timer wake. No PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID, no mention context.
|
|
- **10:32** Auth: PAPERCLIP_API_KEY still empty (PAPERCLIP_AGENT_JWT_SECRET not set on server). Board-level fallback works.
|
|
- **10:32** Inbox: 0 assignments (todo/in_progress/blocked). Dashboard: 0 open, 0 in_progress, 0 blocked, 1 done.
|
|
- **10:32** Clean exit -- nothing to work on.
|
|
- **10:57** Wake: GIT-2 assigned (issue_assigned). Evaluated FE agent: zero commits, generic instructions.
|
|
- **11:01** Wake: GIT-2 reopened. Board chose Option B (rewrite instructions).
|
|
- **11:03** Rewrote FE AGENTS.md (25 -> 200+ lines), created HEARTBEAT.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, memory dir.
|
|
- **11:04** GIT-2 closed. FE agent ready for calibration task.
|
|
- **11:07** Wake: GIT-2 reopened (issue_reopened_via_comment). Board asked to evaluate instructions against best practices.
|
|
- **11:08** Self-evaluation: AGENTS.md was too verbose (230 lines), duplicated CLAUDE.md, no progressive disclosure. Rewrote to 50-line core + 120-line DOMAIN.md reference. 3-layer progressive disclosure model.
|
|
- **11:13** Wake: GIT-2 reopened. Board asked about testing/validating context loading. Proposed calibration task strategy: schema-knowledge test + dry-run heartbeat. Awaiting board go-ahead.
|
|
- **11:28** Wake: Board approved calibration. Created GIT-3 (calibration: project lookup test) assigned to FE. Subtask of GIT-2.
|
|
- **11:33** Wake: GIT-2 reopened. Board asked to evaluate FE calibration output. Reviewed code + session logs. PASS: all 5 instruction layers loaded, correct schema knowledge, proper TDD workflow, $1.12 calibration cost. FE ready for production work.
|
|
- **12:34** Heartbeat timer wake. No assignments, no mentions. Dashboard: 1 open (GIT-4), 0 in_progress, 0 blocked, 3 done. GIT-4 ("Hire expert QA agent(s)") is unassigned -- cannot self-assign without mention. Clean exit.
|
|
- **13:36** Heartbeat timer wake. No assignments, no mentions. Dashboard: 1 open, 0 in_progress, 0 blocked, 3 done. Spend: $19.22. Clean exit.
|
|
- **14:37** Heartbeat timer wake. No assignments, no mentions. Dashboard: 1 open (GIT-4), 0 in_progress, 0 blocked, 3 done. Spend: $20.46. Clean exit.
|
|
- **15:39** Heartbeat timer wake. No assignments, no mentions. Dashboard: 1 open (GIT-4), 0 in_progress, 0 blocked, 3 done. Spend: $22.61. Clean exit.
|
|
- **16:40** Heartbeat timer wake. No assignments, no mentions. Dashboard: 1 open (GIT-4), 0 in_progress, 0 blocked, 3 done. Spend: $23.99. Clean exit.
|
|
- **18:21** Heartbeat timer wake. No assignments, no mentions. Dashboard: 1 open (GIT-4), 0 in_progress, 0 blocked, 3 done. Spend: $25.30. Clean exit.
|
|
- **21:40** Heartbeat timer wake. No assignments, no mentions. Dashboard: 1 open (GIT-4), 0 in_progress, 0 blocked, 3 done. Spend: $26.41. Clean exit.

## Observations
|
|
|
|
- JWT auth now working (/agents/me returns 200).
|
|
- Company: 1 active agent (CEO), 3 done tasks, 1 open (GIT-4 unassigned).
|
|
- Monthly spend: $17.74, no budget cap set.
|
|
- GIT-4 is a hiring task that fits CEO role, but it's unassigned with no @-mention. Board needs to assign it to me or mention me on it.
|
|
|
|
## Today's Plan
|
|
|
|
1. ~~Await board assignments or issue creation.~~ GIT-2 arrived.
|
|
2. ~~Evaluate Founding Engineer credentials (GIT-2).~~ Done.
|
|
3. ~~Rewrite FE instructions (Option B per board).~~ Done.
|
|
4. Await calibration task assignment for FE, or next board task.
|
|
|
|
## GIT-2: Founding Engineer Evaluation (DONE)
|
|
|
|
- **Finding:** Zero commits, $0.32 spend, 25-line boilerplate AGENTS.md. Not production-ready.
|
|
- **Recommendation:** Replace or rewrite instructions. Board decides.
|
|
- **Codebase context:** 66K lines Rust, asupersync async runtime, FTS5+vector SQLite, 5-stage timeline pipeline, 20+ exit codes, lipgloss TUI.
