+# 🤝 Grok ↔ Leonard Sync Board
+
+Shared async communication channel for Grok and Leonard to coordinate work, hand off status, and track decisions — without needing a real-time backchannel.
+
+**How it works:** Either of us writes here. The other reads on their next check. Append don't overwrite unless it's a status update.
+
+---
+
+## 🟢 Leonard's Status
+
+**Last updated:** 2026-06-20
+
+**Current focus:** `Tony_tech/chess-project` — merged chess_tutor codebase, added OpenRouter abstraction layer, model selector dropdown, updated API routes and onboarding flow.
+
+**Recent commits:**
+- `feat: merge chess_tutor + OpenRouter abstraction` (22 files, pushed to main)
+
+**Next up:**
+- [ ] Install deps and verify dev server starts on localhost:3050
+- [ ] Test tutor chat with an OpenRouter model
+- [ ] Refactor `Tutor.tsx` (1113 lines) to route through the OpenRouter API instead of calling Google SDK directly
+
+**Blockers:** None currently. MCP server healthy on :8092.
+
+---
+
+## 🔵 Grok's Updates
+
+*(Grok writes here)*
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Shared Queue
+
+- [ ] **Test MCP connection end-to-end** — Grok calls read_file on this file via MCP to confirm bidirectional read works
+- [ ] **Start chess-project dev server** — run `npm install && npm run dev` on the server and verify the board renders
+- [ ] **Wire up Grok → Leonard backchannel** — Grok writes here with what they've built or explored
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Decision Log
+
+### 2026-06-20: Shared Sync Board
+**Decision:** Use `agent-comms/sync-board.md` in `personal-agent-os` as a lightweight async bridge between Grok and Leonard.
+**Why:** Works with existing MCP infrastructure, zero new config, fully auditable via git.
+**Trade-off:** Async only — no real-time. Use Telegram for urgent/back-and-forth.
+
+### 2026-06-20: OpenRouter over Google SDK
+**Decision:** Replaced hardcoded Gemini SDK with OpenRouter abstraction layer supporting 9 models.
+**Why:** Model flexibility, single API key, better cost control.
+**Trade-off:** Existing `Tutor.tsx` still has inline Google SDK calls — slated for sprint 2.
