# AGENTS.md — Teahub v1 (Green Tea)

You are on **prod**: https://teahub.xyz, Gitea 28 on Fly (app `green-tea`, configured by `gitea/fly.toml`, its look in `gitea/custom`). Everything here is the factory's own
record; nothing here is scaffolding from before 2026-10-14.

```

                                                                     └── <your repos>
 Time = the automation layer. It lives here, on prod (teahubxyz/time); the GitHub copy is an archived proof of concept.
 Time acts as the Gitea user `time` (its own token, TIME_TOKEN) for every write except comments and commit statuses,
 which stay with the Actions identity (`gitea-actions`); code goes in as git pushes.
 Rhythm: Astra (daily, 13:13 UTC) queues cards; the heartbeat (hourly) builds them one at a time with a seat, gets a
 review, and merges on approve + green CI. PRs under .github/ (Time's own engine) never merge themselves: the steward,
 a scheduled Claude session every 6 hours, reads and merges them.
 Seats: Claude (haiku / sonnet / opus / fable, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, user-level secret) by default; Venice wired but idle.
 Spend: every model call is booked to time/ledger/<YYYY-MM>.jsonl; TIME_DAILY_USD=5, TIME_MONTHLY_USD=100 stop the
 clock and open an `andon` issue. No model decides whether to spend.
 hb-5 (the Mac) is NOT part of prod: it is the operator's playground and the old instance (matcha.teahub.xyz).
 Boring (ops MCP) lives on the Mac and may reach prod as a client; prod never depends on it.
```

## Moves
- Read first: this file, `docs/decisions.md` (why things are the way they are), `docs/rebuild.md` (what it took).
- Work is an issue with a `DONE:` line. Open it, do it, receipt it on the issue, close it. Label it `queued` and Time
  runs it when its turn comes (oldest first, `Depends on #N` respected); `ready` runs it on the next beat, beside
  whatever else is running; `spec` has Time split it into cards.
- Before a task, find its route in `SKILLS.md` and load only the skills it names, by path. No model decides which
  skill to load.
- You act as yourself (Time too: it is the `time` user). There is no shared service token on prod. If you can't do
  something, your Gitea permissions are the reason; ask the owner (`teahubxyz`) on the issue.
- Porting from the old instance: only when a card needs it, only after reading it, one piece per commit, and a line in
  `docs/rebuild.md` saying what it took.
- Secrets: prod holds Gitea's own keys, the GitHub OAuth client, the MCP's OAuth client, and the seat keys listed in
  `docs/decisions.md`. Nothing else. Do not add one without a decision there. A temporary admin token is deleted
  (sqlite3 on the Fly box) and the deletion checked before you write that it's gone.
- Be boring by default; get clever only on an ANDON. Deterministic scripts before cheap inference before expensive inference.
- Cost ladder for seats: Luna = haiku, Sol = sonnet, Astra = opus. Fable is for the operator's own maths, not the factory.

## Where things are
- MCP source: `mcp/` (FastMCP, deploy with `fly deploy`).
- Decisions: `docs/decisions.md` (append-only, dated).
- Rebuild log: `docs/rebuild.md`.
- Skills: `SKILLS.md` (routes, ledger, belts); the vendored folders are in `.agents/skills/`.
- Time's engine: `teahubxyz/time` `.github/time/` (`time.py` the clock, `venture.py` the venture loop, `astra.py` the
  daily planner, `seats.json` the seats). The planner and the steward both write to the "Astra log" issue there.
