-Lumina — salon/spa NemoClaw Hermes assistant (design + product)
\ No newline at end of file
+Docker-based **NemoClaw + Hermes** personal ops assistant for a salon/spa owner-operator.
+
+## Status
+
+- Design plan: approved and checked in as [`docs/DESIGN_PLAN.md`](docs/DESIGN_PLAN.md)
+- Implementation: **not started** until an explicit build order
+
+## Product planes
+
+| Plane | Role |
+|-------|------|
+| Scheduling | Owner Vagaro and/or Square |
+| Books | Owner QuickBooks Online (read-heavy) |
+| Owner messaging | WhatsApp, Email, Telegram |
+| Client / social drafts | Draft only; owner sends/posts |
+| Social craft | Owner photos/video + vision aux |
+| Setup / ops | Install, connect SaaS, automatic updates (on by default) |
+
+## Platform-first rule
+
+All sandbox, policy, credential, channel, and inference mutations go through **`nemohermes` / `openshell`**. Product scripts wrap those CLIs. No parallel control API.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+Agent payments; silent client send or social publish; iMessage bot; holographic memory.
+
