# AGENTS.md — ~/.omp command center

System-configuration command center for Frank's fleet: agent config, knowledge base,
small system utilities, and (soon) dotfiles. You — the reader — are probably an agent
running on one of Frank's workstations with this repo as your working directory. Read
`omp-docs/index.md` before you touch anything. This file is the operating contract;
`omp-docs/` is the knowledge base (OKF v0.1 format: directory of markdown files
with YAML frontmatter, spec at `omp-docs/references/okf-spec.md`).

## What this repo is

- The live agent-config directory AND a git repo pushed to Gitea
  (`dank/command-center` on the Dankclaw instance). There is no staging copy:
  **the checkout is the deployment.** Branch switches swap live config files out
  from under the running agent — keep feature branches short-lived, and never end
  a work session checked out on anything but `develop` or `main`.
- Contents that belong here: `AGENTS.md`, `omp-docs/` (knowledge base),
  `scripts/` (small system utilities), `agent/` + `plugins/` (harness config and
  plugin manifests). Everything else under this directory is runtime state and is
  gitignored on principle — see `.gitignore`. History must mean "the configuration
  changed", not "the agent breathed".

## Git-flow SDLC (full flow, from day one)

- Work item = Gitea issue on `dank/command-center` (Gitea at 192.168.0.143:3000,
  owner `dank`). Small fixes may go straight to a branch; anything with more than
  one moving part gets an issue first.
- Branch naming: `<type>/<issue#>-<slug>`, type ∈ feat|fix|docs|chore.
  Release cuts: `release/X.Y.Z` from `develop`; hotfixes: `hotfix/<slug>` from `main`.
- **Merge, never rebase**, when updating a branch against a moved main — Frank
  dislikes the history rewrite. **Never merge a PR without an explicit OK from Frank.**
- Merge into `develop` with `--no-ff` so feature arcs stay visible in history.
- Releases: cut `release/X.Y.Z` from `develop`, verify, merge to `main`, tag
  `vX.Y.Z`, back-merge `main` into `develop`. Tags are the deploy markers every
  other machine pulls to.
- Trash convention: never `rm` anything user-authored — move it to `.AGENTTRASH/`
  (gitignored). Deletion is a pruning session with Frank present.

### Commit hygiene (mirrors dank/serverAppConfigs)

The law is imported from the serverAppConfigs repo — checkout on the dev box at
`~/Projects/serverAppConfig`, see its `AGENTS.md` § *Git Workflow* and
§ *Testing* ("All edits flow through git", "tests are mandatory before
commit"). Applied here:

- `git pull` before starting new work; start from a clean tree. The checkout
  IS the deployment here — a dirty tracked file is a half-deployed config
  serving the live agent.
- Commit atomically and early: one commit = one complete functional unit,
  never a pile of half-edited files; docs land in the same commit as the
  change they document.
- `bats tests/` green + the pre-commit secret gate = the commit precondition;
  the full suite runs at pre-push.
- Push to the local Gitea as soon as a unit is green — every other
  workstation pulls from there. `git * --no-verify` is forbidden (the secret
  gate is the point of the hook).
- Messages: imperative mood, what + why, `Refs #N` when a Gitea issue exists.

## Secret gate (HARD rule)

The pre-commit hook (`.githooks/pre-commit`, enabled via
`git config core.hooksPath .githooks`) scans every staged diff for live-secret
shapes (`sk-…`, `ghp_…`, `github_pat_…`, `glpat-…`, `xox…`, `AKIA…`, PEM headers,
JWTs) and blocks the commit. Quarantine list — never tracked, ever: `auth.json`,
`.env`, `trust.json`, `*.pem`, `*.key`, `identity*`. Deliberate override:
`ALLOW_SECRETS=1 git commit …`. Remember why: a secret in a tracked file is a
secret in every agent's context window on every machine that pulls this repo.

## Machine facts (verify before trusting)

| box | role | GPU | notes |
|-----|------|-----|-------|
| Dev workstation | client box, never runs inference | laptop iGPU + dGPU (non-unified) | mainline llama.cpp at `~/GitPackages/llama.cpp/build/bin/`; this repo lives here at `~/.omp` |
| Dankclaw | bench target, runs the large serving model | Strix Halo APU — **unified memory** | ROCmFPX fork at `~/GitPackages/ROCmFPX/build-qwen38/bin/`; prod service `frank-default-large`, port 7770; ssh: `ssh dankclaw` |
| Dankserver | FreeToken box | RTX 3090 dGPU — non-unified | runs `frank-default-small`; ssh: `ssh dankserver` |

## Environment gotchas

- Gitea API needs a token: `GITEA_TOKEN` env (gitignored `.env`). No `tea` CLI
  installed anywhere. Remote URLs embed the token locally in `.git/config` — that
  file is never pushed; it is not a substitute for the secret gate.
- Passwordless sudo (`sudo -n`) works on Dankclaw and Dankserver for systemctl
  verbs only; user units need no sudo at all.
- SSH into both servers is BatchMode-capable from here:
  `ssh -o BatchMode=yes dankclaw '<read-only command>'` — read-only probes are
  always allowed; state changes on remote boxes are not, without a per-run OK.
- `frank-default-large` on Dankclaw is a **production service** shared with this
  repo's operator: never stop, mask, or restart it (or any production service on
  any box) without an explicit, current, per-run OK from Frank.

## File-organization doctrine (why this repo stays readable)

- One concept, one file; directories get an `index.md` listing their contents —
  that's the OKF contract, and it is also the anti-rot mechanism: nothing may
  appear in a directory that its `index.md` doesn't list.
- Root of the repo is capped: config, docs, scripts, harness dirs. A new
  top-level entry requires a commit message that justifies itself.
- Runtime state (dbs, logs, caches, sessions) is gitignored on principle — if you
  feel the urge to commit one of those, stop and reread this section.
