# Tyga.AI — h-context Protocol

## CRITICAL: persist state ONLY when you changed project state

The h-context state-write + commit ritual exists so real WORK survives a restart.
It is **not** a per-message tax. Apply it like this:

- **You did project work** (edited/created files, ran a mutation, advanced a task):
  1. Update `.h-context/state.md` with current project state in LLN
  2. Append a round entry to `.h-context/session-log.md`
  3. Commit: `git add .h-context/ && git commit -m "hctx: <brief>"`
- **You only answered a question / gave a read-only or conversational reply**:
  do NONE of the above. There is nothing to persist — just answer.

**Never narrate this protocol to the user.** Do not mention state-writes, commits,
rounds, or "rituals" in your reply. Persist silently when warranted; otherwise stay
quiet about it. The user sees your answer, not your bookkeeping.

## A. h-context Directory

```
.h-context/
├── state.md          σ  Current state (<2KB, LLN encoded, mutable)
├── threads/          θ  Active workstreams (mutable)
├── entries/          ε  Extracted artifacts (append-only)
├── raw/              ρ  Source archive (append-only)
├── session-log.md    ψ  Round history (append-only)
└── rules.md          ω  Protocol rules (constant)
```

When a `[H-CONTEXT]` block is in the message, use it as your state orientation. Do NOT re-read state.md — the server provides the latest.

If there is NO `[H-CONTEXT]` block, read `.h-context/state.md` yourself before responding.

## B. LLN Notation

State and logs MUST use LLN encoding — NOT prose. This minimises token usage.

**Format:** `prefix:key|value|metadata`

**state.md MUST contain:**
```
σ:session|s<N>|<status>
σ:project|<name>|<type/stack>
σ:branch|<name>|Δ<summary>
θ:active|[<thread1>;<thread2>]
θ:blocked|[<thread>→<reason>]
ε:last|e<N>|"<summary>"
```

**session-log.md — APPEND after every response:**
```
ψ:round|<N>|<ISO timestamp>|"<brief summary>"
```

**Symbols:** σ=state, θ=threads, ε=entries, ψ=log, Δ=change, ¬=not, →=flow, true/false/null

Keep state.md under 2KB.

## C. Round Protocol (h-conductor)

You are a **scoped expert** for this project directory.

**Each response follows this sequence:**
1. ORIENT — read `[H-CONTEXT]` block or `.h-context/state.md`
2. EXECUTE — do the requested work
3. RESPOND — answer the user

Steps 4–6 apply **only if step 2 changed project state** (files, mutations, task
progress). For a read-only or conversational answer, skip them entirely:
4. SAVE STATE — update `.h-context/state.md` with LLN
5. LOG ROUND — append `ψ:round|N|timestamp|"summary"` to session-log.md
6. COMMIT — `git add .h-context/ && git commit -m "hctx: <brief>"`

Do these silently — never narrate them in your reply.

## C2. Buggazi Board — your living todo list (work-tracking source of truth)

You have your OWN dedicated buggazi board, reachable via the `bgz` CLI (already
authenticated for this stack). It is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH for your work —
sprints, bugs, features, roadmap — and it SURVIVES session restarts, so you do
NOT rely on the LLM context window to remember outstanding work.

- **"the board" ALWAYS means your buggazi board.** If asked "what is on the
  board?" / "what should I work on?", run `bgz` and report it — do not guess.
- **On session start**, orient with `bgz status` (τ-tree) or `bgz dashboard`.
- **Read views** (prefer `--json` for machine use / relay):
  `bgz dashboard --json`, `bgz sprints --json`, `bgz bugs --json`,
  `bgz features --json`, `bgz snapshot --json`.
- **Write as you work** — file/update items so the board reflects reality:
  `bgz bug ...`, `bgz feature ...`, `bgz sprint add SPRINT-ID FEAT-ID`,
  update statuses as you progress. The board is BOTH your todo list AND the data
  the Unity head displays live.
- `bgz init --agent-schema` returns the full machine-readable command list.

## C3. SecretCarousel — how you mint, fetch & share secrets (`sc` CLI)

You have the `sc` (SecretCarousel) CLI (already authenticated for this stack). It
is the ONLY way you hold real credentials: infra keys, API tokens, and hand-offs
to other agents/tenants all live in the vault — NEVER in the prompt, a file, or
the chat transcript.

- **On session start**, orient with `sc init` (prints the modus operandi + a
  "add to your agent rules" block) and `sc init --agent-schema` (the full
  machine-readable command schema — load it BEFORE using any `sc` command; if a
  flag is not in the schema, DO NOT use it). This mirrors `bgz init`.
- **Modus operandi (non-negotiable):**
  1. NEVER print, echo, or repeat a secret value in your replies. Refer to
     secrets by **id and name**, never by value.
  2. Fetch a value with `sc secret show <id>` ONLY at the moment of use (writing
     a config, calling an API) — use it, do not display it.
  3. If a live credential ever lands in the chat, store it with `sc secret
     create`, then rotate it (`sc rotate`) since it transited plaintext.
  4. To hand a secret to another agent/tenant, mint a **claim token**
     (`sc claim "<VAL>" --to <tenant> --contract <ctr>`) — never paste the value
     across sessions.
- **Common commands** (see `sc init --agent-schema` for the authoritative set):
  `sc secrets` / `sc secret show <id>` (read), `sc secret create` (store),
  `sc rotate <id>` (rotate), `sc share` / `sc shares` (grant/list),
  `sc claim` / `sc claim redeem` (cross-tenant hand-off),
  `sc env pull` / `sc env promote` (materialise env from the vault),
  `sc enroll ...` (E2E vault), `sc audit` (access log).

## D. Git Workflow

- Git credentials are pre-configured for Gitea (`git.core.tyga.ai`)
- After completing a feature or significant work:
  1. Commit code changes: `git add -A && git commit -m "descriptive message"`
  2. Push: `git push -u origin <branch>`
  3. Create PR: `gitea-pr.sh "PR title" --body "description"`
- Do NOT use `gh` — it will not work. Use `gitea-pr.sh` for all PRs.
- When the user asks to "submit", "create a PR", or "push" — do all three steps.

## E. LLN Response Mode

When tools are defined in LLN notation (→tool|name|desc|params), respond using LLN:

**Tool calls:**
```
→tool|send_email|{"to":"joe@tyga.agency","subject":"Hello","body":"Hi"}
```

**Multiple tool calls:**
```
→tool|web_search|{"query":"lovable AI"}
→tool|web_fetch|{"url":"https://lovable.dev"}
```

**Status/factual responses** — use LLN where concise:
```
σ:answer|4
σ:status|complete|Δ3files
```

**Conversational responses** — use normal prose (don't force LLN on chat).

## F. Environment

- Docker container: Debian, Node.js 20, Python 3
- Tools: git, curl, node, npm, python3, bash
- All tool calls auto-approved (`--dangerously-skip-permissions`)
