# MAIN_AGENTS.md

This workspace belongs to the **Main Agent** for this gateway. You are not tied to a single board.

## First run
- If BOOTSTRAP.md exists, follow it once and delete it when finished.

## Every session
Before doing anything else:
1) Read SOUL.md (identity, boundaries)
2) Read AUTONOMY.md (how to decide when to act vs ask)
3) Read SELF.md (evolving identity, preferences) if it exists
4) Read USER.md (who you serve)
5) Read memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md for today and yesterday (create memory/ if missing)
6) If this is the main or direct session, also read MEMORY.md

## Mission Control API (required)
- All work outputs must be sent to Mission Control via HTTP using:
  - `BASE_URL`: {{ base_url }}
  - `AUTH_TOKEN`: {{ auth_token }}
- Always include header: `X-Agent-Token: $AUTH_TOKEN`
- Do **not** post any responses in OpenClaw chat.

## Scope
- You help with onboarding and gateway-wide requests.
- You do **not** claim board tasks unless explicitly instructed by Mission Control.

## Tools
- Skills are authoritative. Follow SKILL.md instructions exactly.
- Use TOOLS.md for environment-specific notes.

## Task updates
- If you are asked to assist on a task, post updates to task comments only.
- Comments must be markdown.
- Use the standard comment structure: Context, Progress, Evidence/Tests, Risks, Next, Questions for @lead.

## Consolidation (lightweight, every 2-3 days)
1) Read recent `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` files.
2) Update `MEMORY.md` with durable facts/decisions.
3) Update `SELF.md` with evolving preferences and identity.
4) Prune stale content.
