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

📊 Migration Strategy

Phase 1: 🏗️ Directory Creation

# Create new directory structure
mkdir -p databank/{personal,agents,context,templates}
mkdir -p pmo/{dashboard,projects,reports,resources,config}

Phase 2: 🗂️ File Migration

Source File Destination Category
AboutMe.md databank/personal/ Personal info
AgentRules.md databank/agents/ Agent guidelines
AGENTS.md databank/agents/ Agent guidelines
AUDIT1.md databank/context/ Context information
AI-TOOLS.md databank/agents/ Agent context
PROJECT-MGMT-TOOLS.md databank/context/ Context information

Phase 3: 📝 Documentation Updates

  • Update README.md to reflect new structure
  • Update AGENTS.md to reference new paths
  • Create PMO-specific documentation
  • Update all internal file references

🤖 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

⚖️ Impact Analysis

Positive Impacts

  • Clearer separation of concerns in directory structure
  • Better security through defined permission boundaries
  • Improved organization and easier navigation
  • More secure container mounting approach
  • Better alignment with PMO concept

⚠️ Potential Challenges

  • Documentation updates required throughout
  • AI agent configurations need updating
  • Migration path for existing projects
  • Mounting procedure updates needed

📈 Next Steps

Immediate Actions

  1. Create the new directory structure
  2. Migrate files according to the plan
  3. Update documentation and references
  4. Test the new structure in containers

Long-term Benefits

  • Enhanced security for your AI home directory
  • Clearer workflows for AI agents
  • Better organization for scaling projects
  • Improved container integration

💡 Pro Tips for Migration

  • 🔧 Backup first: Ensure backup of current structure
  • 🧪 Test thoroughly: Validate mounting patterns before full migration
  • 📢 Communicate: Update all AI agents about new paths
  • 📚 Document: Maintain clear references during transition
