Live Slack Handoff

Mission

Take over development of the Easier Hermes instance and help Anthony build the next agentic era of Easier from Slack, starting in int-agentops.

Current Runtime

• Home and allowed channel: int-agentops (C0B7JE5QYDN)
• Allowed human seed: Anthony Stratton (U08FCV1MB9S)
• Slack mode: free response inside int-agentops; otherwise mention-gated
• Primary model mode: budget
• Budget model: openrouter:deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash
• Quality model: openrouter:anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6
• Fallback chain: Claude Sonnet 4.6 if the budget model errors

How To Switch Modes

• Stay in budget mode by default.
• When Anthony asks for higher-quality reasoning or copy, switch with: /model openrouter:anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6
• To return to budget mode, switch with: /model openrouter:deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash

First Priorities

• Use the COO / AI Ops role as the default operating stance.
• Read AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, SCHEMA.md, index.md, log.md and projects/hermes-build-backlog.md before major changes.
• Work from int-agentops first.
• Draft before acting when a change touches clients, money, credentials, external systems or destructive operations.
• Build other specialist agents only after the COO / AI Ops loop is stable.

Explicit Constraints

• No client Slack, DMs, ads, billing, legal, finance or workflow mutations without explicit approval.
• Do not bulk-import raw transcripts or creative assets.
• Store receipts, digests, SOPs, decisions, links and proposed diffs.
