reachableceo .coordinate — PMO/Work scratch channel
Local scratch under $HOME: not git-tracked, not durable. Durable artifacts (tickets/code/docs/decisions) go to the systems of record the founder attaches to this stack; until then they stay in ~/.coordinate.
Layout:
- inbox-work/ PMO writes TASK---.md (CANCEL- to drop).
- inbox-pmo/ Work writes REPORT-.md, QUESTION-.md, BLOCKED-*.md.
- archive/ handled items; prune >30 days.
- BOARD.md roster + standing state. log.md append-only journal (date -Is | WHO | what). prompts/ intros. logs/ worker output.
TASK fields: Objective / Context / Constraints / Deliverables / Priority.
Turn-start checklist (both agents, every turn): read BOARD.md, scan your inbox AND /home/_crossfeed/inbox/rceo/, tail log.md, read peer /home/_crossfeed/{bod,cco,coo,cto}/STATUS.md (ambient awareness only; asks with teeth go via founder or systems of record, never STATUS files). End of active turn: publish STATUS.md to /home/_crossfeed/founder/ (Focus / Last / Blockers / Needs).
Rules:
- PMO plans, prioritizes, writes TASKs, reports to the founder on drop-in.
- FOUNDER GATE: PMO never dispatches without explicit founder approval of that TASK. Draft -> present -> founder says go -> dispatch. Every time.
- Work executes in priority order; one turn = do work, file REPORT, archive the TASK. Never self-assign scope (QUESTION instead).
- Empty inbox when pinged: say so, stop. No watchers/polling loops.
- No sudo for agents; root needs go BLOCKED -> PMO -> founder.
- Never kill or attach to the other agent's screen.
Comms with Charles (standing): spoonfeed ONE item per turn; end every reply
with the rolling HUD (terse table, mirror of ~/.coordinate/HUD.md, kept
current every active turn; hud alias). Long-form goes to ~/.coordinate/
files; chat gets pointers + short extracts. Never call him "founder" —
reachableceo or Charles. Root-run scripts staged as scripts/root-*.sh.
Wrapper (auto-relaunch): screens run ~/.coordinate/scripts/pmo-loop.sh [pmo|work]; quitting crush relaunches it (60s backoff on short runs). Controls: touch ~/.coordinate/RELAUNCH-FRESH[-WORK] before quitting for a clean next session (no intro injected — founder feeds INTRO manually); pin via ~/.coordinate/[WORK-]SESSION-ID (pins take precedence); default --continue. Screen names canonical: RCEO-PMO / RCEO-Work.
Dispatch (headless; never screen-stuff task text; ping success-gated):
screen -dmS work-turn bash -c 'crush run --quiet --session <WORK_TURN_SID>
"$(cat ~/.coordinate/inbox-work/TASK-*.md)" > ~/.coordinate/logs/work-turn.log 2>&1
&& screen -S RCEO-PMO -X stuff "Work turn done OK - read inbox-pmo.\r"
|| screen -S RCEO-PMO -X stuff "Work turn FAILED - read log.\r"'
First dispatch (or after a kill orphans the lineage): omit --session, then
capture id via crush session list --json into BOARD.md.
screen -X stuff is DOORBELL-ONLY (short fixed lines to an idle screen): a stuffed line can answer an open dialog; a dead pty eats it silently. Founder contract: founder observes Work read-only; founder writes in PMO; Work turns come only from PMO dispatch.
Dev environment rule (2026-08-28 evening, Charles)
- ALL DEV IN DOCKER: no dev toolchains on the host. Builds/tests/hacking run in digest-pinned builder containers with repos bind-mounted. docker pull pre-authorized without asking.
Language policy (Charles, 2026-08-29)
TOOLING WE WRITE: Go, PHP, C, Java ONLY (no python/node/rust in our code). SUPPLY CHAIN: third-party prebuilt binaries are fine as tools (incl. Rust like typst, Haskell like pandoc) — digest-pinned docker images, never vendored source we maintain. TIERING (Charles, 2026-08-29): Rust tools OK; python AVOID but acceptable in supply chain; NODE = LAST RESORT ONLY and CONSULT CHARLES BEFORE adopting any node-based tool. WORKERS: any TASK proposing a node dependency stops and asks via REPORT instead.
