North star

One local markdown vault that:

You can browse in Obsidian on the laptop
Leonard can read/write on the VPS (no root required)
Survives model swaps (system > model)
Compounds: Raw dump → structured notes → project status

This is the Julian-Goldie-shaped loop, Hermes-native: vault = memory galaxy.

Active projects (max 3 primary)

Project	Path	Status (see status.md)
Athena Oracle	`04_projects/athena-oracle/`	Live research pipeline
AI Talk Show	`04_projects/ai-talk-show/`	Dual agents + edge-tts; native TTS on laptop if desired
Local velocity / Phoenix	`04_projects/local-velocity/` + `phoenix-salon/`	Salon digital presence

Secondary / parked: memory-system tests (complete), Grok inbox experiments (do not expand).

Non-negotiables

No root required for vault work — everything under $HOME
Gitea: Tony_tech/* and Leonard/* writable; Ty_Tech/* read-only
No firehose — selective saves into the right project folder
User memory: propose only → 01_user/proposed_memory.md (Tony confirms)
Secrets: never in the vault (tokens stay in env / agent-config outside git if sensitive)
Grok: not for agent/MoA calls (OOC); free/local models only for tooling
VPS Chatterbox / swap: off agenda — laptop optional for local TTS

How the loop works

YOU (laptop Obsidian)     LEONARD (VPS Hermes)      GITEA (optional mirror)
        │                        │                         │
   edit notes ◄── Git/Syncthing ──► read/write vault  ──push──► personal-agent-os
   dump to 00_Raw/          consolidate after work           backup/history

Dump messy stuff → 00_Raw/
Durable project truth → 04_projects/<name>/status.md + decisions.md
Topic synthesis → 01_Wiki/ (one idea / topic page when worth it)
Daily briefs / session notes → 04_Daily/
Shippable artifacts → 05_Output/
Agent lessons → 02_agents/leonard/lessons.md (reusable only)

Agent boot (Leonard)

On multi-step sessions, load in order (token budget ~1500 unless task needs more):

This file (HOME.md) — skim
00_system/memory_policy.md
02_agents/leonard/lessons.md
Relevant 04_projects/<project>/status.md

Full checklist: 02_agents/leonard/boot_prompt.md

MoA policy

Default: Leonard builds alone.
Escalate to mixture-of-agents only when Leonard flags a real design fork (e.g. sync architecture failure modes, product vs service tradeoffs). Not for folder creation or routine consolidations.
