# Directory Engine — Status
**Last updated:** 2026-08-23
**Owner agent:** Leonard
**Owner agent:** Leonard
**Niche status:** LOCKED — Afterthedemo
## Current State
- Repo + playbook live.
- Full Grokbot best practices (4-week cadence, Chief of Staff, routines, anti-patterns) now in `best-practices.md` and `agents/chief-of-staff-prompt.md`.
- Niche proposal received: **Afterthedemo**.
- Leonard assessment recorded in `decisions.md` — recommended to lock.
- Niche locked with operator-confirmed operating rules.
- Full Grokbot best practices and Chief of Staff prompt in place.
- Product Directory is the only active pillar.
- No pages published yet.
- No Astro site yet.
## Leonard Assessment of Afterthedemo (summary)
**Lock it.** Coherent vertical, matches operator taste and existing work, strong differentiation via “past the demo + public artifact” filter. Start narrow (Product Directory only). Defer interviews and walkthroughs until the directory has 8–12 solid entries and measurable traffic.
## Locked Operating Rules
- Every entry must have a public, verifiable artifact.
- Product must be past the demo stage.
- No scoring system.
- No tool directory, tutorial-first, or VeriPath/client-work content.
- Defer spotlights and walkthroughs until 8–12 entries + measurable traffic.
## Next Actions (once operator confirms lock)
1. Confirm niche lock (or adjust filters).
2. Seed first 3–5 real shipped products that meet the bar.
3. Run one complete research → engineer publish cycle.
4. Minimal Astro site on Cloudflare + GitHub stack.
5. Establish daily/weekly routine for Research + Engineer.
