## 🧠 Overview

Welcome to the beautifully designed documentation for the **RESTRUCTURE-PROPOSAL.md** file. This document outlines a comprehensive restructure of the AI home directory to separate readonly "databank" from read-write "PMO" components.

| **Attribute** | **Details** |
|---------------|-------------|
| **Purpose** | Separate readonly context from writable PMO |
| **Target User** | Solo entrepreneur with mounted volumes |
| **Security Focus** | Clear permission boundaries |
| **Structure** | databank (ro) + pmo (rw) |

## 🤖 AI Agent Considerations

### 📍 Access Patterns
| Component | Access | Purpose |
|-----------|--------|---------|
| `/ai-home/databank/` | 🔒 Read only | Context and guidelines |
| `/ai-home/pmo/` | ✏️ Read/Write | Project updates |
| `/ai-home/collab/` | 🔒 Read only | Collaboration guidelines |

### 📝 Path Updates Required
AI agents will need to be aware of:
- `databank/` directory for readonly context
- `pmo/` directory for PMO updates  
- Updated AGENTS.md with new paths

### 🎯 Update Behavior
- Only update PMO when milestones reached
- Never modify databank files
- Use proper PMO update procedures
