One person, eight homes, seventeen loops, five judgment-roles, seven named collaboration modes — and a meta-loop that audits all of it, which since 2026-08-04 can also convene the roles as a council to deliberate one decision, dissent preserved, Felix deciding. Everything below is, at bottom, text Claude reads and follows; the pieces differ in their job, not their substance. Rows win over diagrams: inventory.yaml is canonical, this page is its map.
A prompt is stored text — raw material. A command is the thin loader that deploys it as fixed steps. A command usually wears a role — a standing identity with judgment and boundaries. A workflow is the recurring loop that composes all three; a project is the built thing that comes out the other end.
| Primitive | Answers | Nature | Invoked by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Role | WHO acts, by what judgment | a standing identity | "act as X" / a command wearing it |
| Command | WHAT procedure runs | a repeatable task | /command |
| Prompt | the stored instruction text | an asset (raw material) | a loader/command deploys it |
| Workflow | the recurring loop + purpose | a process | runs via its commands/roles |
| Project | a built thing | an artifact (output) | you use it |
Roles appear where judgment concentrates; commands suffice where the task is procedural. That is why the system is mostly workflows + commands with exactly five roles — and why /scout or /tailor never needed a persona. The Chief audits the other four from outside — chief, not auditor of its own doing — and, since 2026-08-04, can chair them as a council: seats spawned blind, one cross-examination round, dissent preserved, Felix alone deciding.
Owns the inventory and the meta-calls: keep, merge, automate, retire; which tool for a role; the decision-layer anatomy. Advises first, never touches; on Felix's confirmation, executes via worktree branch + draft PR — or better, delegates to the owning workflow with a brief. Also the ground-strategy seat across the decision layers.
home: ai-chief-of-staff · chief-of-staff.md
Owns vault conventions, drift cleanup, and the mobile capture pipeline (Siri → [[inbox/mobile]] → [[inbox]]). Conventions, not content — producer loops own what they append; the vault is a sink.
home: the vault itself · [[Wiki/Librarian]] + [[Wiki/Conventions]]
Owns blog voice and style, the draft pipeline, /writing curation, and the language policy: one language per published page, always a native-English refine pass. Critiques and refines — never ghostwrites.
home: blog · editor.md (staged 2026-07-07)
Owns public image and charisma (positioning, image pillars, per-platform bios), social-media strategy, and the outside-in surface audit — a recruiter's eyes on how it all comes across. Drafts frames; Felix writes the words. Routes blog-copy fixes to the Editor.
home: staged in ai-chief-of-staff · brand-coach.md (2026-07-07)
Owns the money facts file, threshold memos (every outflow at or above ¥5,000, and every big decision), and the monthly review that re-asks what "rich" means, dated answers append-only. Life-scope, not work: no daily expense tracking, no alpha — income as a lever stays career-strategy's. Nothing here ever graduates public.
home: money · treasurer.md (2026-07-12; loop running since 2026-08-02)
Named 2026-08-04 — the mode is part of a workflow's shape, so it lives in workflows.md next to the loop diagrams. Ask "which mode is this?" before "which tool?". Five run, one is partial, one is deliberately unbuilt. Felix alone decides, in every mode.
| # | Mode | Status | Shape | Operational home |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Delegate | running | brief → owner executes in its own repo | TODO.md item via draft PR (carrier rule below) |
| 2 | Audit | running | outside fact-check; never edits owned files | /audit + the mechanical checker |
| 3 | Adjudicate | running | chief settles two seats' overlapping claims | row overlaps: entries / boundary rules — first: learning-loop vs wiki-management, 2026-07-05; unnamed until 2026-08-04 |
| 4 | Deliberate | running | seats spawned blind, one cross-exam, dissent preserved | /council — first convening 2026-08-04 (own-vs-access) |
| 5 | Pipeline | running | one-way data edges; collaboration by artifact, no shared session | the canonical edge table (§7) |
| 6 | Broadcast | partial | fact-change propagation to dependent surfaces | /next due-soon scan (dates only) |
| 7 | Consult | not built | one seat, one question, no full council | the owning seat's own ritual instead (Treasurer memo, /crossroads) |
Broadcast stays partial: beyond dates, propagation is manual (the career rename sweep); a third manual sweep is the trigger to design a check. Consult stays unbuilt: single-seat questions route to the owning seat's ritual; a second council convened for a one-seat question is the trigger to reconsider.
Every workflow has an owner_repo — its home — and every home shelves the assets its loops run on: commands, prompts, registries, doctrine files. Color follows the home everywhere on this page; the two private single-loop repos (money, attention-portfolio) borrow the office red — the palette adds no new hues.
Fourteen running, three wanted — in inventory order, ending on the meta-loop. Each row mirrors its summary: in the inventory; the step chips are the loop's actual shape from workflows.md.
WHAT I've built and how to decide + build the next — the next project chosen by a demand × supply brainstorm, then registered, reviewed, mined for reuse tiers, and scaffolded from them.
Anything interesting becomes durable knowledge — capture one #inbox line from any session, triage to a route, and end every route in the retrieval tail. Three rules: attention is all I need · output is the only thing that matters · retrieval IS the studying. The chief lends the loop four thin commands: /triage · /aim · /card-check · /next — judgment work de-automated from the frozen learn-to-ship agent.
SPEAKING English well enough that language is not the reason I lose an interview — a placed daily rep plus a paid human counterparty who corrects, keeps a cross-session error ledger, and holds the count. The 16th row, minted 2026-08-07 when Felix vetoed the forensics record's "attach, don't mint" default and ruled English a standalone project: deliberately NOT career-owned, because subordinating it to the job hunt is exactly what the 2026-07-11 demotion to "lifestyle slots" produced, ten days before the language rejection. owner_repo: null on the review-cadence / wiki-management precedent — the doctrine lives in the vault, the drill in career, the cards in Anki; no new repo and no new doctrine file, Felix's own scope choice. The 90-day deliverable is one number between 0 and 12: tutor sessions attended, held by the tutor and never by Felix. Wanted, not running — no diagram until it does.
The relationships that carry career, money and emotional life — built and maintained deliberately rather than left to whoever happens to still be in touch. The 17th row, opened 2026-08-09 at triage from Felix's own 2026-08-06 capture, because the sweep found no row covering relationships anywhere in this inventory: a capture that fits no row is the signal the row is missing, not the signal the capture is noise. A deliberate stub — owner_repo: null, entry_points: [] — because the substance is Felix's to supply and no framing interview has happened yet; filling it from the chief's guesses would repeat the failure the English record named, a document written ABOUT him rather than FROM him. Open until that interview: what "connection" means here, whether the money and emotion halves are one row or two wearing one name, what the current state actually is, and whether this is a build project or a maintenance cadence. Not career-owned, on purpose — the same trap English fell into.
Evidence of what I've done — reviewed projects become case studies, distilled into master.md, the only fact source resumes draw from.
WHO I am, in every session — one interviewed master profile, distilled into the CC snippet and its Drive mirror; career facts enter the career repo only via master.md, so no second profile exists to drift.
GETTING the job — scout, match, tailor, and interview against real JDs. Scouting is Felix-run manual (the scheduled agent was retired — scouting is judgment work).
Prompts as versioned assets — engineered once, kept in one library, deployed via thin loaders, never pasted copies. Since 2026-07-20 last-tested is audited, not trusted: the checker warns when a prompt's newest commit postdates its last real session.
Close each day, week, and month deliberately — each tier feeding the next. All three tiers are chief commands now: the evening /daily-review (migrated from Cowork 2026-08-04; the agent-kit prompt retired — one home, no pasted copy), the Saturday /weekly-review (graduated from blog 2026-07-12), the monthly /monthly-review (first ran 2026-08-02/03). Felix-run throughout: reflection is judgment work, de-automated 2026-07-07 — and inside the reviews Felix, never the AI, assigns every day and clock time.
HOW the vault stays coherent — page naming, journal format, the capture pipeline, content ownership. Conventions, not content: a standard, not a step loop, so it runs without a flow diagram. The chief audits from outside (check_page_h1); the fix stays Librarian-run inside Logseq.
WHAT I say in public — drafts refined into native-English posts, curated into the project-led site, one language per page. The site leads with case-study pages (ragx · learn-to-ship) and a curated /writing; published posts are dated snapshots, never derived views.
HOW I come across — a deliberate public image and charisma, built from profile facts, presented across social platforms, and audited outside-in on a cadence. Running since 2026-07-07: the first BUILD session shipped positioning, image pillars, and per-platform bios into brand-records.md. The brand check rides the monthly review (2026-08-03).
WHERE the whole thing is going — every life path (employ, freelance, build, study, relocate) held as falsifiable dated checkpoints that get scored, with stances set by Felix alone. Running since 2026-07-20; the map holds 7 paths and its re-scores are honest: the Toptal screen scored wrong (rejected 2026-07-21, parked default executed), fte-human-contact scored right 119 days early. The layer renamed its own home 2026-08-03: job_hunting → career.
WHAT my free time is for — favorites and reading data distilled into a taste map, tested against unforced-hours evidence in a quarterly audit, and allocated as weekly hours, with verdicts set by Felix alone. The third decision layer, so it shares the anatomy: an options inventory the chief never edits, a Felix-only verdict enum, a self-kill criterion. Running since 2026-07-23: 4,616 items across 7 surfaces, a 15-topic taste map, and the first quarterly audit — 10 verdicts, invest workout 5.5h + english 5h.
WHAT keeps me solvent — money facts owned in one file, every outflow over the threshold decided by memo, and a monthly review that re-asks what "rich" means and appends the dated answer. Life-scope, not work; no daily expense tracking and no alpha. Running since 2026-08-02: runway trio filled, three dated memos decided, monthly review #1 executed.
WHERE files live — one placement policy across Drive, GitHub, and local/external volumes. No entry points, no diagram until designed.
HOW I work with AI — the meta-loop that keeps every flow inventoried, fact-checked, and judged. Listed in its own inventory, because a behavior can only be audited if it is listed; the mechanical checker adopted the shared audit-kernel 2026-08-03. Since 2026-08-04 the row also carries /council — deliberation, on demand: seats with a doctrine and an owned fact base are spawned blind (facts attend as witnesses; only judgment sits), one cross-examination round, then a dissent-preserving synthesis — a decision packet with graded close, flip log, and reopen conditions, never a verdict. First convening 2026-08-04 (own-vs-access); Felix alone decides, and the decision routes to its owning ritual.
The loops exist to produce things. Projects are the project-loop's outputs, registered in forge/registry/projects.yaml; every other loop ends in an artifact too — Felix's rule 2: output is the only thing that matters, and only output I generated.
| Output | Produced by | Lands in |
|---|---|---|
| Projects — ragx (RAG practice build) · ragr (the rebuild exam) · logx · learn-to-ship (first /ideate pick, frozen as a portfolio artifact) | project-loop + learning-loop route B | forge registry |
| Case studies — reviewed projects written up as evidence | career-loop | forge career/portfolio/ |
| Tailored resumes — dated, linted, per-JD | job-pipeline (from career-loop bases) | career |
| Anki cards + session logs — human-gated, journal-logged | learning-loop retrieval tail | vault journals/ + deck |
| Posts + the personal site — native-English, one language per page | publishing-loop | blog src/content/ |
| Brand surfaces — LinkedIn + per-platform bios, platform-native distribution | personal-brand | the platforms |
| Review pages + facts blocks — daily journal close, weekly vault page + blog draft, monthly life page | review-cadence | vault + reports/ |
| Money memos + dated "rich" answers — threshold decisions, append-only | money | money memos/ + facts.yaml |
| Taste map + weekly-hours verdicts — Felix-set, quarterly | attention-portfolio | interests.yaml |
| Audit reports, proposals + council records — keep / merge / automate / retire; decision packets with dissent preserved | workflow-audit | ai-chief-of-staff reports/ |
How the loops feed each other: agent-kit's producer loops and the personal ledgers on the left, the forge workshop in the middle, the career campaign on the right, the vault as the sink underneath — and the chief-of-staff's audit perimeter around everything. Every node inside it is a row in the inventory. This redraw closes the recorded gap: attention-portfolio and money now have map nodes, not just flow cards.
Reading the map: evidence flows left-to-right — learning and profile knowledge feed the career loop, the career loop feeds the job pipeline, and the pipeline's demand data flows back (dashed) into /ideate, closing the outer circle: what the market wants shapes what gets built next. Published work flows on into the brand loop, which distributes it platform-natively and maintains the recruiter-facing surface the pipeline depends on. Everything durable drains into the vault, whose journals feed back — read-only — as taste evidence for the attention portfolio, whose quarterly winners re-enter the learning queue through the /triage gate. The money node stands alone by design: the canonical edge table records no cross-loop edges for it yet.
fig. 3 — the system map, redrawn 2026-08-04 with this regeneration: attention-portfolio and money join the figure, closing the layout gap recorded in atlas/README.md since 2026-07-20. (inventory.yaml · workflows.md edge table)
The map above is a view of this table (workflows.md, canonical — on drift, the table wins; sink edges implicit in a loop's own shape are listed explicitly).
