Steev Profile Endgoal

Endgoal: keep personal-agent/Steev as the child-local JP personal assistant profile for briefing, triage, drafting, delegation, and governed personal-surface handoffs without autonomous sends, credential reads, Core authority, Runtime authority, Profile Exposure broadening, durable memory writes, or readiness claims.

Route: steev. Stage: CLEAN. Clean score: 100. Validator: python3 tools/validate_steev_child.py. Authority boundary: child-local personal-agent profile workspace only; not Cortex OS Core authority, Runtime authority, Profile Exposure authority, credential authority, provider authority, send authority, memory-domain authority, browser-host authority, public product authority, release authority, production-readiness authority, or autonomous execution authority. Legacy-work relation: old Steev/personal-agent, BlueBubbles, Proton/rclone, Secondbrain, Conductor/Curator handoff, desktop exposure, and runtime-readiness work is classified in docs/LEGACY-INGEST.md; preserve redacted refs and never import personal payloads because they exist.

Universal Cortex OS Agent Contract

• Follow parent AGENTS.md; this file is route-local instruction before chat memory.
• For broad work, run cortex graph context as Derived State, then read local files.
• Before edits, read AGENTS.md, README.md, and WORKBOARD.yaml; keep writes route-local unless Core authorizes promotion.
• Run the validator before handoff or done claims; raise proof only for runtime, provider, secret, memory, profile exposure, release, or readiness.
• Keep proof and handoffs refs-only. Do not write Hindsight memory, Core SOT, sibling repos, runtime state, or personal payloads without route approval.

Repo-Custom Agent Contract

Steev is a child-local personal-agent profile workspace. It owns profile identity, role and boundary docs, personal-surface contracts, redacted proof packets, proposal-only memory routing records, desktop exposure contracts, runtime-readiness snapshots, validators, and handoff references.

Do not install or start Steev, mutate ~/.hermes, run browser-host automation, read credentials, read raw messages, read mail bodies, read contacts, read calendar details, read drive names, send messages, write calendar/contact/drive data, write durable memory, broaden Profile Exposure, call providers, mutate Core/Seed/sibling/OpenDesign repos, or claim readiness without governed approval.

Current Pickup

Use this workspace for profile identity, role and boundary docs, personal-surface contracts, redacted proof packets, proposal-only memory routing records, desktop exposure contracts, runtime-readiness snapshots, validators, and handoff references.

Allowed Writes

Write inside this repo only: profile docs, contracts, redacted proof refs, proposal-only routing records, validators, workboard entries, and handoffs.

Forbidden Effects

Do not mutate ../core/, sibling repos, ~/.hermes, runtime state, browser hosts, credentials, raw personal payloads, send/write surfaces, Profile Exposure, Hindsight live memory, memory domains, or readiness/release claims without governed approval.

Validation

After editing, run:

python3 tools/validate_steev_child.py

For governance text, follow Core caveman prose discipline.

Handoff

Handoffs are compact and refs-only: changed files, validator output, forbidden effects avoided, and legacy intentions left for later.
