-# FOUNDER OS — agent rules
+# STARTUP — Agent Rules
 
-Full project docs live in **CLAUDE.md** (same directory) — read it first.
-This file exists so non-Claude agents (Codex, etc.) get the same house rules.
+Read `CLAUDE.md` and the canonical company specification before changing the system.
+
+Authoritative company files:
+
+- `company/company.yaml`
+- `company/organization.yaml`
+- `company/governance.yaml`
+- `policies/memory_policy.yaml`
 
 ## Non-negotiables
 
-- **Never commit or copy secrets.** Credentials live in `.env.local`
-  (gitignored) and Alex's canonical files; `lib/creds.ts` resolves them.
-  Never copy keys from `~/knowledge/.env.agents` into the repo.
-- **Never push to any remote or touch `main` without Alex's explicit yes.**
-  Commit locally on `founder-os`, small checkpoints, often.
-- **Don't kill the dev server on 4100 or 4101** — other sessions use them.
-  If your edit crashes the dev server's hot reload, fix it fast: a crash loop
-  corrupts `.next` and breaks every session's page chunks (kill the port,
-  `rm -rf .next`, restart).
-- `/org` markup is frozen — do not restructure it.
-- No em/en dashes in anything written for Alex.
-
-## How to work
-
-- TDD: failing test first (`tests/`, one file per module,
-  `FOUNDER_OS_DB=:memory:`), then implement. `npm test` and
-  `npm run typecheck` must be green before claiming done.
-- Everything reads through the repo layer: `lib/db.ts` repos + `lib/schemas.ts`
-  Zod validation + `lib/seed.ts` seeds. Never query SQLite from a page/route.
-- Theme via CSS vars on `data-theme` (five themes in `app/globals.css`);
-  Tailwind `os.*` tokens map to them. Keep `tailwind.config.ts` and
-  `globals.css` in sync.
-- Commands: `npm run dev` (port 4100) · `npm test` · `npm run typecheck` ·
-  `npm run seed` · `npm run brain:docs`.
-
-## Multi-agent etiquette
-
-Multiple agent sessions (Claude, Codex) work this repo concurrently:
-- `git log --oneline` to see where others are; commit small and often.
-- Coordinate by surface: don't edit a page/component another session has
-  uncommitted changes in (`git status` shows them).
-- The Playwright browser is shared across sessions — expect interference.
-- Leave handoff notes in `docs/` if you stop mid-feature.
+- Never commit secrets.
+- Never push to any remote without explicit human approval.
+- Never invent operational company history or production data.
+- Never give an AI agent unrestricted brokerage execution credentials.
+- Never bypass governance or approval state transitions.
+- Do not restore removed FounderOS functionality merely to satisfy an old test.
+
+## Engineering rules
+
+- Run `npm run typecheck`.
+- Run `npm test`.
+- Keep structured data validated with Zod.
+- Use repository abstractions for operational persistence.
+- Preserve useful generic infrastructure.
+- Remove application-specific FounderOS assumptions.
+- Treat empty Foundation Mode datasets as valid.
+
+## Architecture principle
+
+Agents propose actions.
+
+The deterministic Company Control Plane decides whether those actions are technically permitted.
+
+The human CEO retains final investment and execution authority.
+
+## Startup Brain
+
+Startup Brain is the company's institutional memory.
+
+Do not recreate or depend on the legacy FounderOS G-Brain.
+
+Raw market history belongs in market-data systems, not institutional memory.

-
-Next.js 14 App Router (server components) + TypeScript + Tailwind +
-better-sqlite3 (`data/founder-os.db`, WAL, auto-seeded on first touch) +
-Zod + Vitest.
-
-## Architecture: larp-first, real-ready
-
-This is the load-bearing design rule. v1 looks alive because of rich seeded
-data, but every page and API route reads through the repository layer — never
-query SQLite directly from a page or route:
-
-- `lib/data.ts` — `getDb()` app singleton; seeds on first touch
-- `lib/db.ts` — `openDb()` + repos (`departments`, `agents`, `metrics`, `tools`, …)
-- `lib/seed.ts` — all seeded content lives here
-- `lib/schemas.ts` — Zod schemas validate every row on the way OUT of the DB
-
-Swapping seeded tables for live sources (Attio, Zernio, OpenClaw, MCP status)
-is a repo-level change. Keep it that way: new data = new repo method + Zod
-schema + seed entry + test.
-
-## G-Brain — ANSWERED (2026-06-11)
-
-G-Brain = **GBrain v0.41** (`gbrain` CLI on PATH): markdown
-knowledge in `~/knowledge/brain-store/` + Supabase backend ("Second Brain",
-free tier — pauses on idle) + ZeroEntropy embeddings (key in
-`~/.config/knowledge/config.json`). The real provider in `lib/connectors/gbrain.ts`
-shells out to the CLI (`doctor --json --fast`, `query --no-expand`) and falls
-back to local brain-store grep when the database is unreachable. Default
-`BRAIN_PROVIDER=gbrain`; `stub` exists for tests.
-
-## Real connectors & agents (v2)
-
-Alex's directive: real integrations, not larp. Strict black & white theme
-(UI polish deferred — he'll design it himself once everything is wired).
-
-- `lib/connectors/` — 12 connector groups, all returning honest
-  `ConnectorStatus` (never fake "connected"): `email.ts` (4 IMAP slots),
-  `slack.ts`, `payments.ts` (Stripe + registry), `notion.ts`, `gbrain.ts`,
-  `zernio.ts` (key from ~/.config/social/.env — LIVE), `attio.ts` (key reused
-  from ~/.config/mcp.json mcpServers — LIVE), `arcads.ts` (local `.env` —
-  LIVE), `miro.ts` (knowledge/.env.agents — LIVE),
-  `wispr.ts` (local flow.sqlite readonly — LIVE), `obsidian.ts` (vault fs;
-  needs macOS Documents permission), `local-stack.ts` (local service ports
-  + tmux + brew binaries).
-- `lib/creds.ts` — credential resolution: process.env first, then Alex's
-  canonical files at runtime. NEVER copy secret values into this repo.
-- `lib/agents/runtime.ts` + `real.ts` — agent registry; every seeded agent row
-  maps 1:1 to a `RuntimeAgent` with a real `run()` (enforced by seed tests).
-  Runs persist to `agent_runs`. `POST /api/agents/[id]/run`.
-- `/integrations` is the live Connections board (`GET /api/connections`).
-- Credentials go in `.env.local` (gitignored) — see `.env.example`. NEVER
-  commit keys; never copy keys from `~/knowledge/.env.agents` into the repo.

-`CommandPalette` (⌘K, digit-key view jumps). API routes mirror these under
-`app/api/*` — note `GET /api/brain?q=` runs a hybrid search; bare `GET` returns
-provider status.
-
-## Cohort invite (demo growth surface)
-
-Copy + URL live once in `lib/cohort.ts` (`COHORT_URL`, `COHORT_CTA`,
-`COHORT_STORAGE_KEY`) so the two placements can't drift:
-
-- `CohortBanner` — static footer CTA, rendered in `app/layout.tsx` right after
-  `{children}`, so it is the last thing on **every** view. No client JS.
-- `CohortModal` — first-run welcome pop-up, home screen only, once per browser
-  (`shouldShowCohortModal`; dismissal persists to localStorage). Mounted beside
-  `ConductorPanel` in the layout; it gates itself on `usePathname()`.
-
-Contract lives in `tests/cohort.test.ts`.
-
-## Conventions
-
-- TDD: failing test first, then implementation. Tests live in `tests/`,
-  one file per module; use `FOUNDER_OS_DB=:memory:` pattern (see `tests/db.test.ts`).
-- Zod-validate anything that crosses the DB or API boundary.
-- THEME: **Monolith Signal (`mono`) is the default** (2026-07-12,
-  `DEFAULT_THEME` in `lib/theme.ts`; bare `:root` in `app/globals.css` carries
-  the mono tokens). "Terminal" (`dark`) — the phosphor-green command deck on
-  near-black — stays as a pickable colorway. Tokens live in
-  `tailwind.config.ts` (`os.*` colors) AND as raw CSS vars in
-  `app/globals.css` (the brain viz SVG + `color-mix` effects need `var()`
-  access; keep the two in sync). Terminal tokens: `bg #050807`, `surface
-  #0a0f0c`, `border #18211b` / `border-strong #243029`, `text #e4efe6` /
-  `muted #8fa295` / `dim #54665b`, `accent #3df08c` (phosphor green), honest
-  status colors `ok`/`warn #ffc53d`/`err #ff6259`. G-Brain viz uses its own
-  independent violet/cyan/green palette (`--brain-1/2/3`). Lettering (Monolith pass,
-  2026-07-10): JetBrains Mono everywhere — `font-sans` and `font-mono` both
-  resolve to `--font-mono`; Space Grotesk is retired. Page titles 25px/700
-  uppercase tracking 0.06em (`PageHeader`), eyebrows 9.5px/0.32em with a `//`
-  prefix, section labels 10px/700/0.26em. Square corners (radius tokens are
-  0), square LED status dots (blink, no pulse ring), no emblem hover-spin,
-  hairline borders, no shadows on cards, 48px grid texture on the canvas
-  (mono theme flattens it). The `mono` theme is **Monolith Signal**: bare
-  black `#0a0a0a`, white accent, `--hairline #1c1c1c`, and color means
-  status only (`ok #2fd36f`/`warn #ffb000`/`err #ff2d3f`). Shared primitives in `components/terminal.tsx`
-  (`Dot`, `Badge`, `Label`, `SectionHead`, `Kbd`, `Spark`). `/org` keeps its
-  existing markup — it inherits the tokens through Tailwind classes only.
-- Env vars: `FOUNDER_OS_DB`, `BRAIN_PROVIDER`, `GBRAIN_BIN`, `GBRAIN_STORE`,
-  plus connector creds in `.env.local`.
-- Heavy interaction-driven visualizations load via `next/dynamic`
-  (`ssr: false`) behind dimension-matched skeletons (see
-  `BrainGraphView`/`AudienceConsistencyLazy`; contract in
-  `tests/code-splitting.test.ts`). Use `next/image` for any future raster
-  images — every current visual is SVG/canvas, so nothing needed a retrofit.
-- Future: migrate hosting to a dedicated host; Supabase stays managed.

+Startup Brain stores institutional experience and knowledge, including:

+assumptions
+theses
+decisions
+outcomes
+lessons
+errors and corrections
+process knowledge
+source and tool reliability
+validated SOP knowledge
+
+Raw historical market price series do not belong in Startup Brain.
+
+Market data should be retrieved from external providers when needed.
+
+No legacy FounderOS G-Brain memory is part of the new company.
+
+Internet and external research
+
+Agents are expected to use external information when required.
+
+Startup Brain is not their only source of information.
+
+Agents may use:
+
+public web research
+market data providers
+filings
+economic data
+specialist research
+external opinions and analysis
+
+External information must be evaluated rather than accepted automatically.
+
+Data architecture
+
+Current prototype:
+
+SQLite
+
+Planned production architecture:
+
+PostgreSQL — operational source of truth
+Cognee — institutional memory
+MinIO / S3 — large artifacts
+Langfuse + OpenTelemetry — observability
+Repository conventions
+Pages and routes access operational data through repository abstractions.
+Validate structured boundaries with Zod.
+Do not fabricate production data to make the UI look populated.

-# Founder OS
+# Startup
 
-**A personal operating system for a one-person business: a live web command
-center that runs your company as a set of AI-assisted "departments."**
+AI-operated investment and personal portfolio management company.
 
-Founder OS turns the tabs, tools, and mental overhead of running a solo business
-into one screen: unified comms, a client funnel, social growth, finances, a
-knowledge graph, and a roster of named AI agents that each own a real job.
+This repository is being rebuilt from the FounderOS codebase into a governed multi-agent investment company operating system.
 
-This repository is the **open-source demo build**. It ships seeded with
-realistic placeholder data, so every page is alive out of the box with no
-accounts, no API keys, and nothing to configure. It's the same system taught,
-live, in the [Founder OS cohort](https://www.thefounderos.com); this repo lets
-you explore and run it yourself.
+## Current status
 
-> Want to build your own, live, with guidance? That's what the cohort is for.
-> [thefounderos.com](https://www.thefounderos.com)
+**Foundation Mode**
 
----
+The current company model contains:
 
-## Quick start
+- 3 departments
+- 19 planned AI employees
+- human CEO final authority
+- no fabricated production history
+- no autonomous brokerage execution
 
-Requires **Node 18+**.
+## Company
 
-```bash
-npm install
-cp .env.example .env.local   # optional; only needed to wire live integrations
-npm run dev                  # http://localhost:4100
-```
+### Research Investments
 
-A local SQLite database is **seeded with demo data on first run**, so every page
-is populated immediately. No credentials are required to browse. Navigate with
-the sidebar or the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl + K). Five themes ship, including
-the Monolith default (white on black, color means status only); pick it from the
-palette icon in the top bar.
+Researches macroeconomics, markets, equities, crypto and ETFs and performs critical review of investment theses.
 
-```bash
-npm run build && npm start   # production build
-npm test                     # vitest suite
-npm run typecheck            # tsc --noEmit

-## Architecture: larp-first, real-ready
-
-This is the load-bearing design rule. The demo looks alive because of rich
-seeded data, but **every page and API route reads through a repository layer**
-(never a raw query), and **every connector returns an honest status** (it never
-fakes "connected"). Swapping seeded tables for live sources is a repo-level
-change, not a rewrite.
-
-- **`lib/data.ts`**: `getDb()` app singleton; seeds on first touch.
-- **`lib/db.ts`**: `openDb()` plus typed repositories (`agents`, `departments`,
-  `social`, `funnel`, `finances`, and more).
-- **`lib/seed.ts`**: all seeded demo content lives here.
-- **`lib/schemas.ts`**: Zod schemas validate every row on the way **out** of the
-  DB, so bad data fails loud.
-- **`lib/connectors/*`**: 20+ connector groups (email/IMAP, Slack, Stripe,
-  Notion, calendar, CRM, social, and more). Each returns a typed
-  `ConnectorStatus` of `connected`, `not_configured`, or `error`: always the
-  truth, never a fake green light.
-- **`lib/agents/*`**: every seeded agent maps one-to-one to a runtime agent with
-  a real `run()`; runs persist and surface on `/agents`.
-
-New data means a new repo method, a Zod schema, a seed entry, and a test. Keep
-it that way.
-
----
-
-## Knowledge layer: G-Brain and Optimal Engine
-
-The `/brain` graph you see in the demo is the visible surface of a two-part
-knowledge system that powers the production build.
-
-### G-Brain, the knowledge base
-
-Plain **Markdown files are the source of truth**. They're chunked and embedded
-into a vector store, so one store answers both **keyword** and **semantic**
-queries (hybrid retrieval with reciprocal-rank fusion). If the vector backend is
-unreachable, retrieval falls back to a local grep over the markdown: fewer
-smarts, zero downtime. The demo ships a stub provider; the production provider
-reads a live markdown store and a vector index.
-
-### Optimal Engine, the governed memory runtime
-
-Where G-Brain stores documents, **Optimal Engine governs what the OS actually
-"knows."** It's the system of record for memory, organized as a
-**Tenant, Organization, Workspace, Node** topology, with a disciplined truth
-lifecycle:
-
-```
-Source -> Signal -> Claim -> Fact -> Memory
-```
-
-Raw sources produce signals; signals become claims; claims are reviewed and
-promoted into verified facts; facts distill into durable memories the agents
-draw on. Agents may write sources, signals, and pending claims, but **facts are
-promotion-gated**: nothing becomes "known" without passing review. That keeps
-the OS's memory trustworthy as it scales across workspaces.
-
-Together: **G-Brain is the library; Optimal Engine is the librarian and the
-system of record.** The agents query both before they act.
-
----
-
-## The full plan (production)
-
-The demo is self-contained (Next.js plus seeded SQLite). The production build
-keeps the same repo-layer contract and swaps in real backends:
-
-- **Hosting: [Railway](https://railway.app).** The Next.js app deploys as a
-  Railway service; the seeded SQLite store is replaced by a managed database,
-  and the knowledge services (G-Brain retrieval and Optimal Engine) run as
-  companion services alongside it. Env vars are managed per environment.
-- **Knowledge: G-Brain and Optimal Engine** become the live knowledge and memory
-  layer behind `/brain` and every agent.
-- **Connectors go live.** Because each connector already reports honest status,
-  wiring a real source (IMAP inboxes, Slack, Stripe, Notion, a CRM, calendar,
-  social) is just supplying credentials. The UI immediately reflects real state
-  instead of seeded data.
-- **Agents run for real.** Each agent's `run()` executes against the live
-  connectors and the knowledge layer, on a schedule, with runs persisted.
-
-Same interface you see in this demo, backed by your real business instead of
-placeholder data.
-
----
-
-## Project structure
-
-```
-app/                 Next.js App Router; one folder per view plus /api routes
-components/          UI: dashboard sections, graphs, terminal primitives
-lib/
-  data.ts db.ts      repository layer plus app DB singleton
-  seed.ts            all seeded demo content
-  schemas.ts         Zod schemas (validate every DB/API boundary)
-  connectors/        20+ honest-status integrations
-  agents/            agent registry plus runtimes
-  knowledge-graph.ts, memory-core.ts   brain graph plus memory model
-scripts/             seed plus doc-generation scripts
-tests/               vitest suite (one file per module)
-```
+### Risk Analysis
 
----
-
-## Configuration
+Transforms approved research proposals into structured risk analysis and execution proposals.
 
-All configuration is via environment variables. Copy `.env.example` to
-`.env.local` and fill in only what you want to wire up; everything else stays in
-honest "not configured" mode. `.env.local` is gitignored.
+### Portfolio Monitoring & Performance
 
-**Never commit real keys.** The demo runs fully without any of them.
+Monitors positions, exposures, performance, employee quality and organizational learning.
 
----
+## Architecture
 
-## Tech stack
+FounderOS currently provides parts of the original application chassis.
 
-- **Next.js 14** (App Router, server components) plus **TypeScript**
-- **Tailwind CSS**: monochrome "Monolith" theme with pickable colorways
-- **better-sqlite3**: seeded local store (WAL)
-- **Zod**: schema validation at every boundary
-- **Vitest**: test suite
-- **Vercel AI SDK**: agent LLM calls
-- **d3-force**, **lucide-react**, **simple-icons**: graph physics and iconography
+The target architecture adds:
 
----
+- deterministic Company Control Plane
+- Startup Brain powered by Cognee
+- external web and financial-data research
+- governed approval workflows
+- PostgreSQL operational state
+- artifact storage
+- observability and audit history
 
-## Testing
+Core principle:
 
-```bash
-npm test          # run the full vitest suite
-npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit
-```
+> Agents propose actions. The Control Plane determines whether they are technically permitted.
 
-Tests live in `tests/`, one file per module, using an in-memory SQLite pattern
-so they never touch the seeded dev DB.
+The human CEO makes final investment and execution decisions.
 
----
+## Startup Brain
 
-## Deploying to Railway
+Startup Brain is the institutional memory of the company.
 
-1. Create a Railway project and point it at this repo.
-2. Set the build command to `npm run build` and the start command to `npm start`
-   (the app serves on the `PORT` Railway provides).
-3. Add a database service and any connector credentials as environment variables
-   in the Railway dashboard.
-4. Deploy. The knowledge services (G-Brain and Optimal Engine) run as companion
-   services and are referenced by URL from the app's environment.
+It stores reasoning summaries, facts, assumptions, decisions, outcomes, errors, corrections and validated lessons.
 
----
+It does not store raw historical market time series.
 
-## Note on the demo data
+## Canonical specification
 
-This is a demo build. All names, companies, clients, financial figures, and
-social numbers are **placeholder data**. Nothing here is real.
+The company model is defined in:
 
-## License
+- `company/company.yaml`
+- `company/organization.yaml`
+- `company/governance.yaml`
+- `policies/memory_policy.yaml`
 
-MIT. See [`LICENSE`](LICENSE).
+## Development
 
----
-
-Built as the reference implementation for **Founder OS**.
-[thefounderos.com](https://www.thefounderos.com)
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run dev
+npm run typecheck
+npm test
+
+Windows PowerShell users may need npm.cmd.
+
+Development currently takes place on:
+
+foundation/company-spec-v1
+Current application surfaces
+Home
+Agents
+Tasks
+Skills
+Org Chart
+Startup Brain
+Workflows
+Connections
+Analytics
+
+The project is intentionally kept in a clean foundation state while production infrastructure is introduced progressively.
