Mission

Aggregate the past 7 days of agent outputs into a single Sunday-evening Telegram digest that a founder can scan in 5 minutes to know: what shipped, what slipped, what's next, what needs decisions.

Second push-to-user agent in the system after morning-brief. Where morning-brief is tactical (today's inbox + calendar), founder-cockpit is strategic (the week behind, the week ahead).

Goals & KPIs

Goal KPI Baseline Target
Weekly delivery Cockpit pushed to Telegram by Sun 18:00 TRT N/A 100%
Founder time saved Avg time to scan + act on cockpit N/A <5 min
Decision surfacing "Decisions needed" items per week N/A 1-5 (steady state)
Anti-drift Weeks since last cockpit N/A <8 days always

Non-Goals

  • Do not generate new content (that's other agents' job — this aggregates)
  • Do not make decisions (surface them, founder decides)
  • Do not push to channels other than Telegram (one chat_id, founder's personal)
  • Do not push more than once per week (anti-spam discipline)
  • Do not run if any source agent failed this cycle (degraded mode — see RULES.md)

Drafting → Delivery Loop

Agent aggregates. Founder reads in Telegram, takes action, optionally journals a response into agents/journal/user/ which feeds the next morning-brief cycle.

What Success Looks Like

  • Sunday 18:05 TRT — Bilal's phone buzzes once, message is <2500 chars, scannable in <2 minutes
  • Founder takes 1-3 actions on Monday morning that were surfaced in the cockpit
  • "Decisions needed" section has 1-5 items that genuinely require a founder choice (not noise)
  • Weeks where no agent failed are seamless; weeks where an agent failed are visibly flagged not silently degraded

What This Agent Must Never Do

  • Push more than once per cycle (idempotency guard via journal file existence check)
  • Invent KPI numbers — if source agent output is missing or stale, mark (stale) and continue
  • Push if LinkedIn agents queue is empty OR morning-brief failed >3 days this week — those are critical-degraded states that need to surface as a single critical alert, not a normal cockpit
  • Re-run if already delivered today (check journal file mtime)
  • Use markdown features Telegram can't render (avoid tables — Telegram strips them; use bullets and bold instead)

HEARTBEAT.md

Heartbeat — founder-cockpit

Cadence

  • Trigger: cron, weekly Sunday
  • Schedule: 15:00 UTC = 18:00 TRT (Sunday evening)
  • GitHub Actions workflow: .github/workflows/autopilot-weekly-sun.yml
  • Sequence:
    1. (no fetcher needed — pure aggregator)
    2. run_tier.mjs weekly-sun runs founder-cockpit agent
    3. send_telegram.mjs founder-cockpit pushes journal body
    4. Commit + push journal + ledger

Why Sunday 18:00 TRT

  • Founder has Sunday evening reading/planning rhythm
  • Gives 12 hours overnight to think before Monday action
  • Avoids inbox clutter on Monday morning (morning-brief already runs Mon 07:00)
  • Telegram engagement on Sunday evening is highest for personal accounts (no work-hours friction)

What runs before founder-cockpit each week

Day Time TRT Tier Why this matters for cockpit
Mon 09:00 weekly-mon market-research, investor-relations, security-scanner Strategic context is fresh
Mon-Sun 07:00 morning (daily) morning-brief Inbox triage every day
Mon-Sun 08:00 daily-am social-media-manager, performance-monitor, tech-budget-finops, data-bi Daily metrics + content cadence
Mon-Sun 17:00 daily-pm incident-commander Incident sweep
Sun 18:00 weekly-sun founder-cockpit Aggregates the week

Heartbeat Audit Cycles

Failure Modes

Failure Detection Response
Source agent missing output this week journal scan returns 0 entries for that slug Mark (no output this week) in cockpit, continue
Multiple critical agents missed >2 daily-am agents missing on >3 days Switch to degraded mode — single critical alert message, not full cockpit
Telegram API down send_telegram.mjs exit 3 Journal still written, retry Sunday 19:00 (one retry only)
Cockpit already delivered today journal file exists No-op exit 0, log "already delivered"
LLM call failure agent_run.mjs exit non-zero Journal not written, workflow marks failed, founder notified via GH Actions summary email

Cost Envelope

  • LLM: GPT-OSS-120B, target 2500 max tokens per call, ~$0.0008/cycle
  • Annual: ~52 cycles × $0.0008 = $0.04/year
  • Fetcher cost: $0 (no external API calls)
  • GitHub Actions: self-hosted runner, $0 marginal

MEMORY.md

Memory — founder-cockpit

Agent-local learnings. Updated when pattern is confirmed.

Confirmed Patterns

(none yet, agent created 2026-05-25)

Canonical Example (few-shot)

  • outputs/EXAMPLE_cockpit_2026-W23.md is a hand-built seed showing the exact render shape grounded in real shipped work. It validates clean against agents/scripts/delivery/contract.mjs (validateFounderCockpit, mode=normal, ~1700 chars). When unsure of the shape, match that file. Note how empty source agents render as "(no ... output this week)" instead of invented numbers.

Provisional Patterns (need 3+ cycles to confirm)

  • Sunday 18:00 TRT delivery time chosen based on personal-LinkedIn engagement pattern — needs at least 4 cycles to confirm founder actually reads and acts on it
  • 2500-char body limit chosen to fit single Telegram message — may need to be reduced if cockpit consistently truncates
  • "Decisions needed" section may attract more or fewer items than expected — quarterly review of decision rate

Anti-Patterns (do not do)

  • Don't add markdown tables to cockpit body — Telegram strips alignment and they render badly
  • Don't include >5 decisions in one cockpit — paradox of choice; founder freezes; better to triage upstream
  • Don't include emoji storms — one or two contextual emojis acceptable, more is noise

Founder Feedback Log

(empty — populated after each delivery cycle once Bilal responds)

Format Iterations

  • v1 (2026-05-25): Initial 6-section format — ## What shipped, ## What slipped, ## Metrics, ## Content & comms, ## Pipeline, ## Decisions needed

RULES.md

Rules — founder-cockpit

Boundaries (HARD)

  1. One push per week. If a cockpit journal entry exists for this Sunday, no-op exit.
  2. Never invent metrics. If a source agent has no output this week, write (no output this week). If a metric is in a fetched JSON marked STALE_NOTICE, write (stale).
  3. Never push during a critical degraded state. If >2 daily-am agents missed >3 days this week, switch to single-line critical alert mode: 🚨 weekly cockpit blocked — N agents stale, see GitHub Actions for detail.
  4. Never include cap-table, valuation, or fundraising-deal specifics in Telegram delivery. Round status is high-level only ("3 active conversations, no commitments yet"). Detail lives in investor-relations data room.
  5. Never include customer-identifiable info in Telegram delivery. Anonymize salon names ("Salon A in Beşiktaş") unless explicit founder approval logged in MEMORY.md.

Voice & Format

  • Single Telegram message, target 1500-2500 chars
  • 6 sections in fixed order (do not reorder week-to-week — Bilal's eye learns position)
  • Plain text body, light markdown only (bold + bullets), no tables
  • Numbers carry asterisks for sources * with footnote-style source line at end if cited
  • Empty sections show (quiet week) not omission
  • One contextual emoji per section header maximum

Handoff

  • After delivery, log decision items in outputs/decisions_<YYYY-MM>.md (monthly rollup)
  • Trend snapshot in outputs/snapshot_<YYYY-WW>.md (machine-readable, for downstream analytics)
  • If founder responds via journal (agents/journal/user/), morning-brief picks it up next cycle — no direct callback

Coordination

  • Does not chain to other agents (leaf agent like morning-brief)
  • Reads from but does not write to other agents' folders
  • Only writes to agents/journal/ and agents/agents/founder-cockpit/outputs/

Failure to Comply

  • If any rule above is violated by the agent's output (e.g., a customer name leaks), founder logs incident in MEMORY.md > Anti-Patterns and we revise the skill prompts before next cycle
  • Critical-degraded-mode failure path: incident-commander tier on Sunday 17:00 already caught it — cockpit just confirms and stays quiet

Skill: Aggregate Week

When to use

First step of the cockpit cycle. Reads 7 days of source-agent outputs and journals, produces a structured intermediate aggregate that the rendering skill consumes.

Input

Per AGENT.md input contract — 7-30 days of agent outputs from data-bi, performance-monitor, incident-commander, tech-budget-finops, competitive-intel, both LinkedIn agents, investor-relations, market-research, and the shared journal.

Output

Internal structured aggregate (not user-facing). Used by render-cockpit.md.

    description: "morning-brief delivery unverified — risk of silent failure first day"

Procedure

  1. Date math. Compute Sunday 00:00 TRT this week → 23:59 TRT this week as window. Convert to UTC for filesystem mtime filter.
  2. Read shipped. For each source agent, scan outputs/ for files with mtime in window. Each becomes a shipped item.
  3. Read slipped. For each source agent with a HEARTBEAT.md cadence shorter than weekly (daily, weekly), check if expected outputs exist for this week. Missing = slipped.
  4. Pull metrics. From data-bi outputs (latest in window), extract topline KPIs. Compare to prior week. Compute delta. If source missing, mark (stale).
  5. Content + pipeline. Read LinkedIn agent queues, social-media-manager queues, sales-bd outputs, investor-relations outputs. Count + summarize.
  6. Decisions. Scan all journal entries for Risk: lines and (needs founder decision) markers. Aggregate.
  7. Next week. Read each source agent's most recent (planned next cycle) or (next cadence) markers. Synthesize top 3.
  8. Output the YAML above. Pass to render-cockpit.

Rules

  • If any source returns no output for the window, log it as (no output this week) in the aggregate, do NOT skip silently
  • If >2 critical sources (data-bi, performance-monitor, morning-brief) are missing >3 days this week, set degraded_critical: true in the aggregate — render-cockpit will switch to alert mode
  • Time math is TRT (Europe/Istanbul, UTC+3) — never UTC in the user-facing output
  • All quoted descriptions must be verbatim from source agent outputs — never paraphrase claims that have numbers in them
render-cockpit

Skill: Render Cockpit

When to use

Final step of the cockpit cycle. Consumes the aggregate YAML from aggregate-week.md and produces the user-facing Telegram body (strict shape) + journal entry.

Input

  • The aggregate YAML object produced by aggregate-week.
  • MEMORY.md tail (last 200 lines) for format/voice context.

Output Shape (strict — this is what gets pushed to Telegram)

## <ISO timestamp>
**Action:** rendered week N of Q{Y} cockpit covering N decisions and M next-week bets
**Output:** (Telegram push — see body)
**Learned:** <one durable observation from the week, or "nothing new">
**Handoff:** none (leaf agent)

{{Optional footer: ⚠️ <single critical risk line if any>}}

Procedure

  1. Compute header line. Week ISO + quarter + date range from aggregate.
  2. Shipped section. Iterate aggregate.shipped[]. Format as bullet per source. If empty, write (quiet week — no new shipped items).
  3. Slipped section. Iterate aggregate.slipped[]. Append age days. If empty, write (none flagged).
  4. Metrics section. Format each delta with sign (+/-/=). For percentages, prepend %. For currency, prepend $. Always show this_week and last_week side by side.
  5. Content section. Render LinkedIn + social lines per template. If queue is (no output this week), write (queue stale — needs source).
  6. Pipeline section. Three lines (salons / investors / hires). If counts are all zero, write (quiet week — no new activity).
  7. Decisions section. Iterate aggregate.decisions_needed[]. Number 1-N. Cap at 5 — if more, take the 5 highest-priority and write (N more — see outputs/decisions_{YYYY-MM}.md) at end.
  8. Next week's bets. Iterate aggregate.next_week_bets[]. Cap at 3.
  9. Risk footer. If aggregate.risks_flagged[] has any item with severity high or critical, add the line at the bottom with ⚠️ prefix.
  10. Length check. Total body ≤ 2500 chars. If over, truncate Decisions list first, then Metrics, then Slipped. Always preserve Shipped + Next week's bets + Decisions IDs.
  11. Header block. Add the strict-shape header (Action/Output/Learned/Handoff/Risk) ABOVE the ### 📊 line so send_telegram.mjs extractBody() strips it correctly.
  12. Write to journal. Path: agents/journal/<UTC-YYYY-MM-DD>_founder-cockpit_autopilot.md. Append (not overwrite) — multiple cockpit cycles in a day are allowed but rare.

Degraded Mode

If aggregate.degraded_critical == true, produce a single-line alert body instead:

### 🚨 Weekly cockpit blocked

{{N}} agents stale, {{M}} fetchers missing. See GitHub Actions for detail.

Decisions still surfaced (if any):
1. ...
2. ...

This still pushes to Telegram — the founder needs to know the system is degraded, not just see silence. Decisions still surface because they're the highest-leverage section.

Rules

  • Telegram body ≤ 2500 chars (single message)
  • All times in TRT (UTC+3), never UTC in user-facing text
  • No markdown tables (Telegram strips them)
  • Light emoji per section header only — no emoji storms in body
  • Section order is canonical per RULES.md, never reorder
  • If a metric is (stale), do not show a delta — just (stale this week)
  • Round status is one line, not multi-line — detail lives in investor-relations
  • Customer / salon names anonymized per RULES.md
