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
Await board assignments or issue creation.GIT-2 arrived.Evaluate Founding Engineer credentials (GIT-2).Done.Rewrite FE instructions (Option B per board).Done.- 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.
