Brain Sync Recap — 2026-04-13 03:40 EDT

What I Found in Brain Repo

The Team (The Critical Discovery)

I had the roles completely wrong. Here's what actually exists:

Agent	Title	Model	Runtime	Role
Daedalus	Chief Architect	Claude Opus 4.6	ACP (persistent)	System design, database architecture, API contracts, blueprints
Talos	Technical Coder	Claude Sonnet 4.6	ACP (persistent)	PHP/MySQL implementation, REST APIs, code quality, testing
Icarus	Front-End Designer	Claude Haiku 4.5	Subagent (fast iteration)	HTML/CSS/JavaScript, dashboards, UX/UI, responsive design
Hephaestus	Operations & Infrastructure	Claude Sonnet 4.6	Subagent (deployment)	Deploy code, manage servers, monitor systems, backups, Gitea ↔ web.tekdek.dev

I was wrong: I said Talos=lead, Daedalus=backend, Icarus=frontend. The reality is far more nuanced:

• Daedalus is the architect (thinks first)
• Talos is the implementer (builds second)
• Icarus is the designer (polishes third)
• Hephaestus is the ops engineer (deploys to production)

The Development Workflow

Clear pipeline exists: Requirement → Daedalus (design) → Talos (code) → Icarus (UI) → Hephaestus (deploy)

Each agent has:

• Detailed system prompt (their personality & operating philosophy)
• Clear responsibilities matrix
• Coordination protocols with other agents
• Success metrics
• Full configuration JSON

The Infrastructure (Web Page Status)

From memory/2026-04-12.md:

• Employees Portal deployed and LIVE at https://web.tekdek.dev/team.html
• Shows: Daedalus, Talos, Icarus with bios, quotes, accent colors
• API working: https://web.tekdek.dev/api/employees/
• Dark-themed, responsive design
• Problem solved: Apache mod_dir 301 redirect issue (was breaking HTTPS on API)

The Project Status

• Phase: Phase 0 (Discovery & Planning)
• Last updated: 2026-04-11 (before this morning)
• 5 critical decisions pending from Glytcht:
  1. Brick's technical specialty
  2. Initial persona roster (5–9 personas)
  3. First narrative arc
  4. Revenue model
  5. Launch target date
• All foundational strategy docs created ✅
• Infrastructure ready ✅
• Blockers: None — just awaiting Glytcht's 5 decisions

The Strategy Documents

Key files in Brain repo that define everything:

• /knowledge/TekDek-Strategy.md — Complete vision (3 layers, persona model, narrative engine)
• /knowledge/TekDek-Master-Project-Plan.md — Full roadmap (phases 0–4 with timelines & deliverables)
• /knowledge/agents/[Agent]-Profile.md — Full profiles for each agent (Daedalus, Talos, Icarus, Hephaestus)
• /knowledge/agents/Team-Coordination.md — How agents work together
• /Master-Plan-Quick-Checklist.md — Glytcht's decision checklist

What's Missing from My Current Workspace

Critical Gaps

1. Agent role clarity — I have outdated/wrong info about who does what
2. Hephaestus profile — I didn't know this agent existed
3. Full agent system prompts — I have only skeleton knowledge
4. Team coordination protocols — The exact workflow is documented in Brain, not in my local MEMORY.md
5. Infrastructure details — Web page deployment details, mod_dir Apache fix, etc.

What Needs to Be Synced to /data/.openclaw/workspace/

To MEMORY.md (add these sections):

• Dev team roles (Daedalus, Talos, Icarus, Hephaestus) — with correct descriptions
• Team coordination workflow (Requirement → Design → Code → UI → Deploy)
• Web infrastructure status (Employees Portal live, API working, mod_dir issue solved)
• Phase 0 status and 5 pending decisions
• Infrastructure details (git.tekdek.dev, web.tekdek.dev, API endpoints)

New files to create in workspace:

• /knowledge/agents/Daedalus-Chief-Architect.md (full profile from Brain)
• /knowledge/agents/Talos-Technical-Coder.md (full profile from Brain)
• /knowledge/agents/Icarus-Frontend-Designer.md (full profile from Brain)
• /knowledge/agents/Hephaestus-Operations-Infrastructure.md (full profile from Brain)
• /knowledge/agents/Team-Coordination.md (full profile from Brain)

Optionally copy (high-value strategic docs):

• /knowledge/TekDek-Strategy.md
• /knowledge/TekDek-Master-Project-Plan.md
• /Master-Plan-Quick-Checklist.md

What I'm Adding (Planned Changes)

1. Update MEMORY.md

Add new section: Dev Team & Roles

## Development Team (Daedalus, Talos, Icarus, Hephaestus)

### Team Structure
- **Daedalus** (Architect): Claude Opus 4.6, designs systems & specs
- **Talos** (Coder): Claude Sonnet 4.6, implements APIs & databases
- **Icarus** (Designer): Claude Haiku 4.5, builds UX/UI dashboards
- **Hephaestus** (Ops): Claude Sonnet 4.6, deploys code & manages infrastructure

### Workflow (Requirement → Delivery)
1. Requirement from ParzivalTD
2. Daedalus designs architecture + spec
3. Talos implements per spec (PHP/MySQL, REST APIs)
4. Icarus builds UI on Talos's APIs (HTML/CSS/JS)
5. Hephaestus deploys Gitea → web.tekdek.dev

### Key Coordination Rules
- Daedalus specs are crystal clear (no ambiguity)
- Talos asks clarifying questions immediately
- Icarus gets clean APIs from Talos
- Hephaestus handles all Git ↔ web deployments
- Weekly sync (all agents + ParzivalTD)

### All Agent Profiles Available
- Full profiles: `/knowledge/agents/[Agent]-Profile.md`
- Team coordination: `/knowledge/agents/Team-Coordination.md`

Add new section: Infrastructure & Web

## Current Infrastructure Status

### Employees Portal (LIVE)
- **URL**: https://web.tekdek.dev/team.html
- **Status**: ✅ Deployed and working
- **Features**: Lists Daedalus, Talos, Icarus with bios, quotes, colors
- **API**: https://web.tekdek.dev/api/employees/ (working)
- **Issue solved**: Apache mod_dir 301 redirect (was breaking HTTPS, now fixed)

### Servers & Access
- **Web**: web.tekdek.dev (Hostinger, Docker-based, PHP/MySQL)
- **Git**: git.tekdek.dev port 1122 (SSH), HTTP auth
- **Database**: mysql-shared on shared-db network
- **Docs**: docs.tekdek.dev (BookStack)

### DB Credentials (For Operations)
- web1 database, user `web1`, password `RubiKa1IsHome`
- Connected to mysql-shared:3306

### File Locations
- Web files: /publish/web1/public/
- API: /api/employees/index.php
- Routing: .htaccess (mod_dir workaround in place)

Add new section: Phase 0 Status (Today's Context)

## Phase 0 Status & Pending Decisions

### What's Complete
- ✅ TekDek Strategy (vision, 3 layers, persona model, narrative engine)
- ✅ Master Project Plan (full roadmap, phases 0–4)
- ✅ All foundational docs (brainstorm reference, overview, status)
- ✅ Brick persona prototype
- ✅ Team profiles (all 4 agents with full specs)
- ✅ Employees Portal deployed (team.html live)

### What Glytcht Must Decide (5 Critical)
1. Brick's technical specialty
2. Initial persona roster (5–9 personas)
3. First narrative arc
4. Revenue model
5. Launch target date

### Next Steps After Decisions
- ParzivalTD: Finalize personas, plan narrative arcs, design systems
- Dev Team: Build persona management API, content tracking, narrative systems
- Hephaestus: Coordinate deployments as systems come online

Update Session Notes

## Session Notes
- 2026-04-11: Bootstrap session. Glytcht introduced TekDek and my role. Identity locked in.
- 2026-04-11: Full info dump on TekDek strategy, narrative model, and persona management.
- 2026-04-11: Created foundational strategy docs in knowledge base (TekDek-Strategy.md, Tool-Requirements.md, Brick-Profile.md, TekDek-Brainstorm-Reference.md)
- 2026-04-12: Employees Portal deployed to web.tekdek.dev/team.html. Team expansion plan drafted (Ops Agent concept).
- 2026-04-13 (Morning): [ONBOARDING SESSION — NEW AGENTS INTRODUCED] — Hephaestus created, team roles clarified, web page status reviewed. (Details pending — Brain repo sync scheduled.)
- 2026-04-13 (03:40 EDT): Brain repo synced. Tool access restored (exec/automation/runtime/fs). Full agent profiles loaded. Ready for Command Center handoff pending Glytcht's 5 decisions.

2. Create /knowledge/agents/ Files

Copy these 5 files from Brain to workspace:

• Daedalus-Chief-Architect.md
• Talos-Technical-Coder.md
• Icarus-Frontend-Designer.md
• Hephaestus-Operations-Infrastructure.md
• Team-Coordination.md

This ensures the team's operating procedures are always accessible locally.

3. Update PROJECT-STATUS.md

Add entry for today:

## Phase 0 Progress (Continued)

### 2026-04-13 Updates
- ✅ All 4 development team agents fully onboarded (Daedalus, Talos, Icarus, Hephaestus)
- ✅ Employees Portal deployed and tested (team.html + API)
- ✅ Apache/HTTPS issues resolved
- ⏳ Awaiting Glytcht's 5 critical Phase 0 decisions
- ⏳ TekDek Command Center project (kanban planning tool) — to be handed off after onboarding complete

### Key Files Synced to Brain Repo
- All agent profiles backed up
- Team coordination protocols documented
- Infrastructure status recorded

Summary

What I discovered:

• The dev team is fully defined (4 agents, not 3)
• Clear workflow exists (Design → Code → UI → Deploy)
• Web portal is live
• Phase 0 is waiting on 5 Glytcht decisions
• Everything I need is in Brain repo

What I'm updating:

• MEMORY.md with full agent roles, infrastructure, phase status
• Copy agent profiles to workspace (5 files)
• Update PROJECT-STATUS with today's sync

What I'm holding:

• Command Center project spec (kanban tool) — on pause until onboarding complete

Next steps (When you wake up):

1. Review these updates
2. Make your 5 Phase 0 decisions (or tell me if any changed)
3. Signal when to hand off Command Center to dev team
4. I'll push all updates to Brain repo and keep synced
