+# DigitalOcean Deployment Guide
+
+## Step 1 — Create a Droplet
+
+1. Log in to [digitalocean.com](https://digitalocean.com) → **Create → Droplets**
+2. Choose:
+ - **Image:** Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
+ - **Size:** Basic → **$18/mo** (2 vCPU, 4GB RAM)
+ - **Region:** closest to your users
+ - **Authentication:** SSH key
+3. Click **Create Droplet**, note the IP (e.g. `165.22.10.50`)
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — Point Your Domain
+
+You own `aibyml.com`. Add two DNS A records at your domain registrar (wherever you manage aibyml.com DNS — GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.):
+
+```
+A clawix.aibyml.com →
+A api.clawix.aibyml.com →
+```
+
+DNS propagates in a few minutes (up to 1 hour max). You can verify with:
+
+```bash
+dig clawix.aibyml.com +short
+dig api.clawix.aibyml.com +short
+```
+
+Both should return your droplet IP before proceeding to SSL (Step 7).
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 — SSH In and Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+ssh root@165.22.10.50
+
+# Install Docker
+curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
+
+# Install Nginx + Certbot
+apt install -y nginx certbot python3-certbot-nginx ufw
+
+# Firewall rules
+ufw allow OpenSSH
+ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
+ufw enable
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 — Clone the Repo and Configure `.env`
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/YOUR_ORG/clawix.git /opt/clawix
+cd /opt/clawix
+nano .env
+```
+
+Set these values in `.env`:
+
+```env
+# Postgres
+POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_strong_db_password_here
+POSTGRES_USER=clawix
+POSTGRES_DB=clawix
+
+# JWT (generate: node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(64).toString('hex'))")
+JWT_SECRET=
+
+# Encryption key (generate: node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))")
+PROVIDER_ENCRYPTION_KEY=
+
+# CORS
+CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://clawix.aibyml.com
+
+# URLs baked into Next.js at build time
+NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://api.clawix.aibyml.com
+NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL=wss://api.clawix.aibyml.com
+
+# Host paths for Docker volume mounts
+CLAWIX_HOST_DATA_DIR=/opt/clawix/data
+CLAWIX_HOST_SKILLS_BUILTIN_DIR=/opt/clawix/skills/builtin
+CLAWIX_HOST_SKILLS_CUSTOM_DIR=/opt/clawix/skills/custom
+
+# Admin account (created automatically on first boot)
+INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL=aibyml.ngo@gmail.com
+INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD=Passw@rd!234
+INITIAL_ADMIN_NAME=Victor
+
+# AI provider (at least one required)
+OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
+DEFAULT_PROVIDER=openai
+DEFAULT_LLM_MODEL=gpt-4o
+```
+
+Generate secrets:
+
+```bash
+node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(64).toString('hex'))" # JWT_SECRET
+node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))" # PROVIDER_ENCRYPTION_KEY
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5 — Build and Start the App
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/clawix
+
+# Build images (3-5 minutes on first run)
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
+
+# Start everything
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
+
+# Watch logs to confirm startup
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f
+```
+
+You should see migrations run, bootstrap create your admin, and all 4 containers go healthy.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6 — Configure Nginx Reverse Proxy
+
+```bash
+nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/clawix
+```
+
+Paste:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+ server_name clawix.aibyml.com;
+
+ location / {
+ proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
+ proxy_http_version 1.1;
+ proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+ proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
+ proxy_set_header Host $host;
+ proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
+ }
+}
+
+server {
+ server_name api.clawix.aibyml.com;
+
+ location / {
+ proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
+ proxy_http_version 1.1;
+ proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+ proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
+ proxy_set_header Host $host;
+ proxy_read_timeout 300s;
+ proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
+ }
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/clawix /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 7 — SSL (requires a domain)
+
+```bash
+certbot --nginx -d clawix.aibyml.com -d api.clawix.aibyml.com
+```
+
+Certbot edits Nginx config automatically and sets up auto-renewal.
+
+---
+
+## Step 8 — Auto-start on Reboot
+
+```bash
+nano /etc/systemd/system/clawix.service
+```
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Neusclawix
+After=docker.service
+Requires=docker.service
+
+[Service]
+WorkingDirectory=/opt/clawix
+ExecStart=docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up
+ExecStop=docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down
+Restart=always
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+```bash
+systemctl enable clawix
+```
+
+---
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+```bash
+# View logs
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f
+
+# Update and redeploy
+git pull
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
+
+# Check container health
+docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
+
+# Database shell
+docker exec -it neusclawix-postgres psql -U clawix -d clawix
+```
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL` are baked into the Next.js bundle at **build time**. If you change your domain later, rebuild the web image (`docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build web`) — a restart alone won't pick up the change.
+- The API runs as root to access the Docker socket for spawning agent containers. This is intentional.
+- Postgres data persists in a Docker named volume (`postgres_data`). Back it up with `docker exec neusclawix-postgres pg_dump -U clawix clawix > backup.sql`.
+
+---
+
+## Appendix — Domain Setup for aibyml.com
+
+### A. Add DNS Records
+
+Log in to wherever you manage `aibyml.com` DNS and add two A records:
+
+| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
+|------|------|-------|-----|
+| A | `clawix` | `` | 3600 |
+| A | `api.clawix` | `` | 3600 |
+
+This creates:
+- `clawix.aibyml.com` → web dashboard
+- `api.clawix.aibyml.com` → API + WebSocket
+
+Verify propagation before continuing:
+
+```bash
+dig clawix.aibyml.com +short
+dig api.clawix.aibyml.com +short
+# Both should return your droplet IP
+```
+
+---
+
+### B. Cloudflare Users (if aibyml.com uses Cloudflare)
+
+**Important:** set the proxy toggle to **DNS only (grey cloud)** for both records — not the orange proxied mode.
+
+The orange proxy breaks WebSocket connections, which the app uses for live agent output.
+
+In the Cloudflare dashboard:
+1. DNS → Records
+2. Find `clawix` and `api.clawix`
+3. Click the orange cloud icon on each → switch to grey (DNS only)
+
+---
+
+### C. Common Registrar Instructions
+
+**Namecheap**
+1. Domain List → Manage → Advanced DNS
+2. Add Record → A Record → Host: `clawix` → Value: ``
+3. Add Record → A Record → Host: `api.clawix` → Value: ``
+
+**GoDaddy**
+1. My Products → DNS → Manage
+2. Add → Type: A → Name: `clawix` → Value: ``
+3. Add → Type: A → Name: `api.clawix` → Value: ``
+
+**Cloudflare**
+1. Select `aibyml.com` → DNS → Records → Add record
+2. Type: A → Name: `clawix` → IPv4: `` → Proxy: **DNS only**
+3. Repeat for `api.clawix`
+
+---
+
+### D. If You Change the Domain Later
+
+Since `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL` are baked into the Next.js image at build time, changing domains requires:
+
+1. Update `.env` with the new URLs
+2. Rebuild the web image: `docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml build web`
+3. Restart: `docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d`
+4. Re-run Certbot for the new domain: `certbot --nginx -d newdomain.com -d api.newdomain.com`

-## Why Clawix?
+## Clawix is not a chatbot
-Most AI agent frameworks are either **toys** (single-process, no isolation, no audit trail) or **walled gardens** (cloud-only, per-seat pricing, your data on someone else's servers).
+| | GPT-type chatbot | Claude Code | **Clawix** |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **What it is** | Conversational Q&A | Developer coding assistant | Multi-agent workflow platform |
+| **Who uses it** | Anyone asking questions | Software engineers | Finance, Legal, NGO, Construction teams |
+| **Memory** | Resets every session | Per-project only | Persistent — builds context over time |
+| **Agents** | One general model | One coding agent | Specialist coordinator + workers + sub-agents |
+| **Workflows** | Single turn | Single task | Multi-step, cross-agent, governed pipelines |
+| **Governance** | None | None | Human-in-loop gates, audit logs, RBAC |
+| **Data** | Sent to vendor cloud | Local files only | Self-hosted — your server, your data |
+| **Industry fit** | Generic | Code only | Finance · Legal · NGO · Construction · any domain |
-Clawix sits in between: **production-grade orchestration you own entirely.**
-
-- **Every agent runs in its own Docker container** -- no agent can read another's files, exhaust your host's memory, or escape its sandbox.
-- **Plug in any LLM** -- Claude and GPT-4 today, with Azure, DeepSeek, Gemini, and OpenRouter coming soon. Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, vLLM, etc.) works now via the custom provider.
-- **Built for teams** -- RBAC, token budgets, audit logs, and scoped memory mean you can hand agents to your whole org without losing sleep.
-- **Reach users where they are** -- Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, and a built-in web dashboard. One agent, many channels.
-
-> Think of it as "Kubernetes for AI agents" -- container isolation, resource limits, health checks, and warm pools, but purpose-built for LLM workloads.
+**A GPT chatbot answers your question and forgets it.
+Claude Code / OpenClaw writes code on your machine.
+Clawix runs specialist agents as a coordinated team — with memory, governance, and human approval — for the work your industry actually does.**
---
-## Features
-
-
-
-
-
-### Container-Isolated Agents
-
-Every agent gets its own sandboxed Docker container with CPU/memory limits, read-only mounts, and no root access. Cross-agent interference is architecturally impossible.
+## Industry Packs
-### Warm Container Pool
+Clawix ships with four ready-to-run industry bundles, each with pre-built skills, agents, sub-agents, and conversation starters. Open **Explore** in the dashboard to try one.
-Primary agents stay warm in pre-provisioned containers. Cold-start latency drops from **1-3 seconds to ~50ms**.
+### 📊 Finance & Accounting
+Bookkeeping · Bank reconciliation · AP/AR aging · Cashflow forecasting · Internal audit · Management accounts
-### Swarm Orchestration
+| Agents | Sub-agents |
+|---|---|
+| Coordinator · Bookkeeping · Reconciliation · AP/AR · Cashflow · Audit · Reporting | OCR extractor · GL classifier · Variance analyzer · Evidence collector · Reviewer |
-Break complex tasks into sub-agent DAGs. The coordinator delegates, aggregates results, and handles failures -- all within isolated containers.
+Human approval required on: journal entries, payment runs, period close, filings.
-
-
-
-### Multi-Provider AI
-
-Anthropic and OpenAI out of the box, with Azure, DeepSeek, Gemini, and OpenRouter planned. Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint already works via the custom provider. Add new providers with a single config entry.
+---
-### Scoped Memory System
+### ⚖️ Legal & Compliance
+Case research · Contract review · Due diligence · Redlining · Memo drafting · Deadline tracking
-Persistent memory at three levels: private (per-user), group (team), and org-wide. Agents build context over time without re-prompting.
+| Agents | Sub-agents (automatic, non-bypassable) |
+|---|---|
+| Case research · Contract analyst · Case summarizer · Due diligence · Legal drafter · Client comms · Intern assistant | Compliance guardian · Citation verifier · Prompt-injection sentry |
-### Skills Framework
+Every output is a **draft for lawyer review** — the system never files, sends, or advises autonomously.
-Pluggable tools with approval workflows. Bundle built-in skills, create custom ones at runtime, or use the built-in skill-creator agent to generate new skills from natural language.
+---
-
-
-
+### 🌍 NGO Operations
+Donor research · Grant proposals · M&E · Impact reports · Field operations · Safeguarding
-### And also...
+| Agents |
+|---|
+| Program coordinator · Donor engagement · Monitoring & evaluation · Communications · Field operations |
-- **Governance & Compliance** -- Token budgets per user/group, immutable audit logs, structured logging (Pino), Prometheus metrics
-- **Multi-Channel Delivery** -- reach users across messaging platforms and web (see table below)
-- **Per-User Workspaces** -- Persistent directories that survive container teardown, with quota enforcement
-- **Encrypted Secrets** -- Provider API keys stored with AES-256-GCM; encryption key never leaves your server
-- **RBAC** -- Role-based access control across all management APIs
+Dignity-first data handling. Beneficiary names never stored in memory. All external comms require human approval.

+---
-> **Self-hosting in production?** Skip ahead to [Production Deployment](#production-deployment-first-run) — the installer handles `.env` generation, image builds, and bootstrap for you. The steps below are for local development.
+### Adding your own industry
-### 1. Clone & Install
+No code changes needed. Drop two things into the repo and restart:
-```bash
-# 1. Clone the repository
-git clone https://github.com/ClawixAI/clawix.git
-cd clawix
+1. **Skills** — add folders to `skills/builtin/`
+2. **Pack manifest** — add one JSON file to `skills/packs/`
-# 2. Run the interactive installer
-pnpm run install:clawix
```
-
-
-Manual setup (click to expand)
-
-```bash
-pnpm install
-cp .env.example .env
-pnpm --filter @clawix/shared run build
-docker build -t clawix-agent:latest -f infra/docker/agent/Dockerfile .
-docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
+skills/
+ builtin/
+ myindustry-skill-one/SKILL.md ← new skill
+ myindustry-skill-two/SKILL.md
+ packs/
+ myindustry.json ← new pack (name, icon, agents, inspirations)
```
-
-
-### 2. Configure
-
-Edit `.env` with your API keys:
-
-```bash
-# Required: encryption key for provider secrets (AES-256-GCM)
-PROVIDER_ENCRYPTION_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
+The Explore page picks it up automatically on next restart.
-# AI providers (used by db:seed; also env fallback at runtime)
-ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxx # Claude
-OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx # GPT (optional)
+---
-# Channels (optional -- used by db:seed to populate channel config)
-TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=123456789:ABCdef... # Telegram (from @BotFather)
+## Install
-# Database (defaults work with docker-compose)
-DATABASE_URL="postgresql://clawix:clawix_dev@localhost:5433/clawix"
-REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379"
-```
+### Prerequisites
-### 3. Run
+- [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) — must be running
+- [Node.js 20+](https://nodejs.org/) and [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation) (`npm install -g pnpm`)
+Verify:
```bash
-pnpm run dev # API on :3001, Dashboard on :3000
+node --version && pnpm --version && docker info --format '{{.ServerVersion}}'
```
-That's it. Open `http://localhost:3000` or message your Telegram bot.
-
----
-
-## Production Deployment (First Run)
-
-Two helper scripts wrap the full production flow:
-
-| Command | What it does |
-| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `pnpm run install:clawix` | Interactive first-time setup: generates `.env`, builds images, starts stack |
-| `pnpm run update:clawix` | Non-interactive rebuild + restart (use after `git pull` or config changes) |
-
-### First run
+### First-time setup (one command)
```bash
+git clone https://github.com/aibyml-ngo/clawix.git
+cd clawix
pnpm run install:clawix
```
-The installer will:
-
-1. Check prerequisites (Node 20+, pnpm, Docker, Docker Compose)
-2. Ask for deployment mode (production / development), provider (OpenAI or Zai-Coding) + API key, admin email/password (production only), and optional Telegram bot token
-3. Generate `.env` with cryptographically random `JWT_SECRET`, `PROVIDER_ENCRYPTION_KEY`, `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` (file permissions set to `600`)
-4. Build `clawix-agent:latest` (agent image used for isolated per-task containers)
-5. Run `docker compose … up -d --build`
-6. Wait for `http://localhost:3001/health` to go green (migrations + bootstrap run inside the API container on first start)
-
-When it finishes, open `http://localhost:3000` and sign in with the admin credentials you entered.
-
-> Re-running `install:clawix` with an existing `.env` is safe — it keeps your secrets, skips the prompts, and just rebuilds/restarts. To reconfigure from scratch, delete `.env` and re-run.
+The installer asks for your AI provider key and admin credentials, generates all secrets, builds the images, and starts the stack. When it prints `=== Installation complete ===`, open **http://localhost:3000** and sign in.
-### Updates and restarts
+### Updates
```bash
-pnpm run update:clawix # rebuild + restart (default)
-pnpm run update:clawix -- --pull # git pull --ff-only, then rebuild + restart
-pnpm run update:clawix -- --no-build # plain restart, reuse existing images
+pnpm run update:clawix # rebuild + restart after code changes
+pnpm run update:clawix -- --pull # git pull, then rebuild + restart
```
-The updater reads `CLAWIX_DEPLOY_MODE` from `.env` and picks the right compose file automatically. Prisma migrations and the idempotent bootstrap run inside the container on every start — bootstrap no-ops once the admin exists.
-
-### What happens under the hood
-
-- `infra/docker/api/entrypoint.sh` runs `prisma migrate deploy`, then `node dist/bootstrap.js`.
-- `bootstrap.ts` only writes when the admin doesn't already exist and only uses `upsert` / guarded `create` — never deletes data.
-- The production compose file **fails fast** at `docker compose up` time if any of `POSTGRES_PASSWORD`, `JWT_SECRET`, `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`, or `PROVIDER_ENCRYPTION_KEY` are missing.
-- Generate the encryption key manually (if not using the installer) with `openssl rand -hex 32`.
-
-### Manual equivalent (no installer)
+### If Docker goes down
```bash
-cp .env.example .env
-# edit .env — set POSTGRES_PASSWORD, JWT_SECRET, CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS,
-# PROVIDER_ENCRYPTION_KEY, DEFAULT_PROVIDER, _API_KEY,
-# INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL, INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD, INITIAL_ADMIN_NAME
-
-docker build -t clawix-agent:latest -f infra/docker/agent/Dockerfile .
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build
-docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs api | grep '\[bootstrap\]'
+docker rm -f clawix-web clawix-api clawix-postgres clawix-redis clawix-browser clawix-pypi-proxy
+docker network rm clawix-internal clawix-browser-egress
+cd /path/to/clawix && docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
```
-## Uninstallation
-
-Remove Clawix completely with:
+### Uninstall
```bash
-pnpm run uninstall:clawix # preserve host data
-pnpm run uninstall:clawix -- --full # complete removal
+pnpm run uninstall:clawix # remove containers and volumes
+pnpm run uninstall:clawix -- --full # also remove .env and all data
```
-### Flags
-
-| Flag | Description |
-| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `--full` / `-f` | Remove Docker resources AND host data (.env, ./data/, ./skills/custom/) |
-| `--yes` / `-y` | Skip confirmation prompt |
-
-### What gets removed
-
-**Docker cleanup (default):**
-
-- Containers from both dev and prod environments
-- Images built by compose + `clawix-agent:latest`
-- Named volumes (`postgres_data`, `redis_data`, etc.)
-- Orphan containers
-
-**Host data (with `--full`):**
-
-- `.env` — configuration and secrets
-- `./data/` — runtime data, user workspaces
-- `./skills/custom/` — user-created skills
-
-### Fresh reinstall
+---
-```bash
-# Full cleanup
-pnpm run uninstall:clawix -- --full -y
+## How it works
-# Reinstall from scratch
-pnpm run install:clawix
+```

```
-> Without `--full`, host data is preserved. The installer detects existing `.env` and skips configuration prompts, reusing your previous settings.
+Every agent runs in its own sandboxed container — CPU-limited, memory-limited, read-only root filesystem, no network by default. A rogue response cannot affect other users, agents, or the host.

-## Security Model
-
-Clawix follows a **zero-trust architecture** for agent execution:
+## Multi-provider AI
-| Threat | Mitigation |
-| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| Cross-user data access | Workspaces only mounted into owner's container |
-| Sub-agent privilege escalation | Sub-agents get read-only curated context, never full workspace |
-| Memory poisoning | Agent context regenerated from DB each run |
-| Disk exhaustion | Per-user quota enforcement (default 500 MB) |
-| Path traversal | All paths validated to stay under `data/org/` |
-| Secret leakage | API keys encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) |
-| Untrusted code execution | All agent code runs inside sandboxed containers, never on host |
+| Provider | Models | Status |

+
+# DOCX creation, editing, and analysis
+
+## Overview
+
+A .docx file is a ZIP archive containing XML files.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Task | Approach |
+|------|----------|
+| Read/analyze content | `extract-text`, or unpack for raw XML |
+| Create new document | Use `docx-js` - see Creating New Documents below |
+| Edit existing document | Unpack → edit XML → repack - see Editing Existing Documents below |
+
+### Converting .doc to .docx
+
+Legacy `.doc` files must be converted before editing:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to docx document.doc
+```
+
+### Reading Content
+
+```bash
+# Text extraction as markdown
+extract-text document.docx
+
+# Show tracked changes instead of accepting them
+pandoc --track-changes=all document.docx -o output.md
+
+# Raw XML access
+python scripts/office/unpack.py document.docx unpacked/
+```
+
+### Converting to Images
+
+```bash
+python scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to pdf document.docx
+pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 document.pdf page
+```
+
+### Accepting Tracked Changes
+
+To produce a clean document with all tracked changes accepted (requires LibreOffice):
+
+```bash
+python scripts/accept_changes.py input.docx output.docx
+```
+
+---
+
+## Creating New Documents
+
+Generate .docx files with JavaScript, then validate. Install: `npm install -g docx`
+
+### Setup
+```javascript
+const { Document, Packer, Paragraph, TextRun, Table, TableRow, TableCell, ImageRun,
+ Header, Footer, AlignmentType, PageOrientation, LevelFormat, ExternalHyperlink,
+ InternalHyperlink, Bookmark, FootnoteReferenceRun, PositionalTab,
+ PositionalTabAlignment, PositionalTabRelativeTo, PositionalTabLeader,
+ TabStopType, TabStopPosition, Column, SectionType,
+ TableOfContents, HeadingLevel, BorderStyle, WidthType, ShadingType,
+ VerticalAlign, PageNumber, PageBreak } = require('docx');
+
+const doc = new Document({ sections: [{ children: [/* content */] }] });
+Packer.toBuffer(doc).then(buffer => fs.writeFileSync("doc.docx", buffer));
+```
+
+### Validation
+After creating the file, validate it. If validation fails, unpack, fix the XML, and repack.
+```bash
+python scripts/office/validate.py doc.docx
+```
+
+### Page Size
+
+```javascript
+// CRITICAL: docx-js defaults to A4, not US Letter
+// Always set page size explicitly for consistent results
+sections: [{
+ properties: {
+ page: {
+ size: {
+ width: 12240, // 8.5 inches in DXA
+ height: 15840 // 11 inches in DXA
+ },
+ margin: { top: 1440, right: 1440, bottom: 1440, left: 1440 } // 1 inch margins
+ }
+ },
+ children: [/* content */]
+}]
+```
+
+**Common page sizes (DXA units, 1440 DXA = 1 inch):**
+
+| Paper | Width | Height | Content Width (1" margins) |
+|-------|-------|--------|---------------------------|
+| US Letter | 12,240 | 15,840 | 9,360 |
+| A4 (default) | 11,906 | 16,838 | 9,026 |
+
+**Landscape orientation:** docx-js swaps width/height internally, so pass portrait dimensions and let it handle the swap:
+```javascript
+size: {
+ width: 12240, // Pass SHORT edge as width
+ height: 15840, // Pass LONG edge as height
+ orientation: PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE // docx-js swaps them in the XML
+},
+// Content width = 15840 - left margin - right margin (uses the long edge)
+```
+
+### Styles (Override Built-in Headings)
+
+Use Arial as the default font (universally supported). Keep titles black for readability.
+
+```javascript
+const doc = new Document({
+ styles: {
+ default: { document: { run: { font: "Arial", size: 24 } } }, // 12pt default
+ paragraphStyles: [
+ // IMPORTANT: Use exact IDs to override built-in styles
+ { id: "Heading1", name: "Heading 1", basedOn: "Normal", next: "Normal", quickFormat: true,
+ run: { size: 32, bold: true, font: "Arial" },
+ paragraph: { spacing: { before: 240, after: 240 }, outlineLevel: 0 } }, // outlineLevel required for TOC
+ { id: "Heading2", name: "Heading 2", basedOn: "Normal", next: "Normal", quickFormat: true,
+ run: { size: 28, bold: true, font: "Arial" },
+ paragraph: { spacing: { before: 180, after: 180 }, outlineLevel: 1 } },
+ ]
+ },
+ sections: [{
+ children: [
+ new Paragraph({ heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_1, children: [new TextRun("Title")] }),
+ ]
+ }]
+});
+```
+
+### Lists (NEVER use unicode bullets)
+
+```javascript
+// ❌ WRONG - never manually insert bullet characters
+new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("• Item")] }) // BAD
+new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("\u2022 Item")] }) // BAD
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - use numbering config with LevelFormat.BULLET
+const doc = new Document({
+ numbering: {
+ config: [
+ { reference: "bullets",
+ levels: [{ level: 0, format: LevelFormat.BULLET, text: "•", alignment: AlignmentType.LEFT,
+ style: { paragraph: { indent: { left: 720, hanging: 360 } } } }] },
+ { reference: "numbers",
+ levels: [{ level: 0, format: LevelFormat.DECIMAL, text: "%1.", alignment: AlignmentType.LEFT,
+ style: { paragraph: { indent: { left: 720, hanging: 360 } } } }] },
+ ]
+ },
+ sections: [{
+ children: [
+ new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "bullets", level: 0 },
+ children: [new TextRun("Bullet item")] }),
+ new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "numbers", level: 0 },
+ children: [new TextRun("Numbered item")] }),
+ ]
+ }]
+});
+
+// ⚠️ Each reference creates INDEPENDENT numbering
+// Same reference = continues (1,2,3 then 4,5,6)
+// Different reference = restarts (1,2,3 then 1,2,3)
+```
+
+### Tables
+
+**CRITICAL: Tables need dual widths** - set both `columnWidths` on the table AND `width` on each cell. Without both, tables render incorrectly on some platforms.
+
+```javascript
+// CRITICAL: Always set table width for consistent rendering
+// CRITICAL: Use ShadingType.CLEAR (not SOLID) to prevent black backgrounds
+const border = { style: BorderStyle.SINGLE, size: 1, color: "CCCCCC" };
+const borders = { top: border, bottom: border, left: border, right: border };
+
+new Table({
+ width: { size: 9360, type: WidthType.DXA }, // Always use DXA (percentages break in Google Docs)
+ columnWidths: [4680, 4680], // Must sum to table width (DXA: 1440 = 1 inch)
+ rows: [
+ new TableRow({
+ children: [
+ new TableCell({
+ borders,
+ width: { size: 4680, type: WidthType.DXA }, // Also set on each cell
+ shading: { fill: "D5E8F0", type: ShadingType.CLEAR }, // CLEAR not SOLID
+ margins: { top: 80, bottom: 80, left: 120, right: 120 }, // Cell padding (internal, not added to width)
+ children: [new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("Cell")] })]
+ })
+ ]
+ })
+ ]
+})
+```
+
+**Table width calculation:**
+
+Always use `WidthType.DXA` — `WidthType.PERCENTAGE` breaks in Google Docs.
+
+```javascript
+// Table width = sum of columnWidths = content width
+// US Letter with 1" margins: 12240 - 2880 = 9360 DXA
+width: { size: 9360, type: WidthType.DXA },
+columnWidths: [7000, 2360] // Must sum to table width
+```
+
+**Width rules:**
+- **Always use `WidthType.DXA`** — never `WidthType.PERCENTAGE` (incompatible with Google Docs)
+- Table width must equal the sum of `columnWidths`
+- Cell `width` must match corresponding `columnWidth`
+- Cell `margins` are internal padding - they reduce content area, not add to cell width
+- For full-width tables: use content width (page width minus left and right margins)
+
+### Images
+
+```javascript
+// CRITICAL: type parameter is REQUIRED
+new Paragraph({
+ children: [new ImageRun({
+ type: "png", // Required: png, jpg, jpeg, gif, bmp, svg
+ data: fs.readFileSync("image.png"),
+ transformation: { width: 200, height: 150 },
+ altText: { title: "Title", description: "Desc", name: "Name" } // All three required
+ })]
+})
+```
+
+### Page Breaks
+
+```javascript
+// CRITICAL: PageBreak must be inside a Paragraph
+new Paragraph({ children: [new PageBreak()] })
+
+// Or use pageBreakBefore
+new Paragraph({ pageBreakBefore: true, children: [new TextRun("New page")] })
+```
+
+### Hyperlinks
+
+```javascript
+// External link
+new Paragraph({
+ children: [new ExternalHyperlink({
+ children: [new TextRun({ text: "Click here", style: "Hyperlink" })],
+ link: "https://example.com",
+ })]
+})
+
+// Internal link (bookmark + reference)
+// 1. Create bookmark at destination
+new Paragraph({ heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_1, children: [
+ new Bookmark({ id: "chapter1", children: [new TextRun("Chapter 1")] }),
+]})
+// 2. Link to it
+new Paragraph({ children: [new InternalHyperlink({
+ children: [new TextRun({ text: "See Chapter 1", style: "Hyperlink" })],
+ anchor: "chapter1",
+})]})
+```
+
+### Footnotes
+
+```javascript
+const doc = new Document({
+ footnotes: {
+ 1: { children: [new Paragraph("Source: Annual Report 2024")] },
+ 2: { children: [new Paragraph("See appendix for methodology")] },
+ },
+ sections: [{
+ children: [new Paragraph({
+ children: [
+ new TextRun("Revenue grew 15%"),
+ new FootnoteReferenceRun(1),
+ new TextRun(" using adjusted metrics"),
+ new FootnoteReferenceRun(2),
+ ],
+ })]
+ }]
+});
+```
+
+### Tab Stops
+
+```javascript
+// Right-align text on same line (e.g., date opposite a title)
+new Paragraph({
+ children: [
+ new TextRun("Company Name"),
+ new TextRun("\tJanuary 2025"),
+ ],
+ tabStops: [{ type: TabStopType.RIGHT, position: TabStopPosition.MAX }],
+})
+
+// Dot leader (e.g., TOC-style)
+new Paragraph({
+ children: [
+ new TextRun("Introduction"),
+ new TextRun({ children: [
+ new PositionalTab({
+ alignment: PositionalTabAlignment.RIGHT,
+ relativeTo: PositionalTabRelativeTo.MARGIN,
+ leader: PositionalTabLeader.DOT,
+ }),
+ "3",
+ ]}),
+ ],
+})
+```
+
+### Multi-Column Layouts
+
+```javascript
+// Equal-width columns
+sections: [{
+ properties: {
+ column: {
+ count: 2, // number of columns
+ space: 720, // gap between columns in DXA (720 = 0.5 inch)
+ equalWidth: true,
+ separate: true, // vertical line between columns
+ },
+ },
+ children: [/* content flows naturally across columns */]
+}]
+
+// Custom-width columns (equalWidth must be false)
+sections: [{
+ properties: {
+ column: {
+ equalWidth: false,
+ children: [
+ new Column({ width: 5400, space: 720 }),
+ new Column({ width: 3240 }),
+ ],
+ },
+ },
+ children: [/* content */]
+}]
+```
+
+Force a column break with a new section using `type: SectionType.NEXT_COLUMN`.
+
+### Table of Contents
+
+```javascript
+// CRITICAL: Headings must use HeadingLevel ONLY - no custom styles
+new TableOfContents("Table of Contents", { hyperlink: true, headingStyleRange: "1-3" })
+```
+
+### Headers/Footers
+
+```javascript
+sections: [{
+ properties: {
+ page: { margin: { top: 1440, right: 1440, bottom: 1440, left: 1440 } } // 1440 = 1 inch
+ },
+ headers: {
+ default: new Header({ children: [new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("Header")] })] })
+ },
+ footers: {
+ default: new Footer({ children: [new Paragraph({
+ children: [new TextRun("Page "), new TextRun({ children: [PageNumber.CURRENT] })]
+ })] })
+ },
+ children: [/* content */]
+}]
+```
+
+### Critical Rules for docx-js
+
+- **Set page size explicitly** - docx-js defaults to A4; use US Letter (12240 x 15840 DXA) for US documents
+- **Landscape: pass portrait dimensions** - docx-js swaps width/height internally; pass short edge as `width`, long edge as `height`, and set `orientation: PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE`
+- **Never use `\n`** - use separate Paragraph elements
+- **Never use unicode bullets** - use `LevelFormat.BULLET` with numbering config
+- **PageBreak must be in Paragraph** - standalone creates invalid XML
+- **ImageRun requires `type`** - always specify png/jpg/etc
+- **Always set table `width` with DXA** - never use `WidthType.PERCENTAGE` (breaks in Google Docs)
+- **Tables need dual widths** - `columnWidths` array AND cell `width`, both must match
+- **Table width = sum of columnWidths** - for DXA, ensure they add up exactly
+- **Always add cell margins** - use `margins: { top: 80, bottom: 80, left: 120, right: 120 }` for readable padding
+- **Use `ShadingType.CLEAR`** - never SOLID for table shading
+- **Never use tables as dividers/rules** - cells have minimum height and render as empty boxes (including in headers/footers); use `border: { bottom: { style: BorderStyle.SINGLE, size: 6, color: "2E75B6", space: 1 } }` on a Paragraph instead. For two-column footers, use tab stops (see Tab Stops section), not tables
+- **TOC requires HeadingLevel only** - no custom styles on heading paragraphs
+- **Override built-in styles** - use exact IDs: "Heading1", "Heading2", etc.
+- **Include `outlineLevel`** - required for TOC (0 for H1, 1 for H2, etc.)

+
+## Editing Existing Documents
+
+**Follow all 3 steps in order.**
+
+### Step 1: Unpack
+```bash
+python scripts/office/unpack.py document.docx unpacked/
+```
+Extracts XML, pretty-prints, merges adjacent runs, and converts smart quotes to XML entities (`“` etc.) so they survive editing. Use `--merge-runs false` to skip run merging.
+
+### Step 2: Edit XML
+
+Edit files in `unpacked/word/`. See XML Reference below for patterns.
+
+**Use "Claude" as the author** for tracked changes and comments, unless the user explicitly requests use of a different name.
+
+**Use the Edit tool directly for string replacement. Do not write Python scripts.** Scripts introduce unnecessary complexity. The Edit tool shows exactly what is being replaced.
+
+**CRITICAL: Use smart quotes for new content.** When adding text with apostrophes or quotes, use XML entities to produce smart quotes:
+```xml
+
+Here’s a quote: “Hello”
+```
+| Entity | Character |
+|--------|-----------|
+| `‘` | ‘ (left single) |
+| `’` | ’ (right single / apostrophe) |
+| `“` | “ (left double) |
+| `”` | ” (right double) |
+
+**Adding comments:** Use `comment.py` to handle boilerplate across multiple XML files (text must be pre-escaped XML):
+```bash
+python scripts/comment.py unpacked/ 0 "Comment text with & and ’"
+python scripts/comment.py unpacked/ 1 "Reply text" --parent 0 # reply to comment 0
+python scripts/comment.py unpacked/ 0 "Text" --author "Custom Author" # custom author name
+```
+Then add markers to document.xml (see Comments in XML Reference).
+
+### Step 3: Pack
+```bash
+python scripts/office/pack.py unpacked/ output.docx --original document.docx
+```
+Validates with auto-repair, condenses XML, and creates DOCX. Use `--validate false` to skip.
+
+**Auto-repair will fix:**
+- `durableId` >= 0x7FFFFFFF (regenerates valid ID)
+- Missing `xml:space="preserve"` on `` with whitespace
+
+**Auto-repair won't fix:**
+- Malformed XML, invalid element nesting, missing relationships, schema violations
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Replace entire `` elements**: When adding tracked changes, replace the whole `...` block with `......` as siblings. Don't inject tracked change tags inside a run.
+- **Preserve `` formatting**: Copy the original run's `` block into your tracked change runs to maintain bold, font size, etc.
+
+---
+
+## XML Reference
+
+### Schema Compliance
+
+- **Element order in ``**: ``, ``, ``, ``, ``, `` last
+- **Whitespace**: Add `xml:space="preserve"` to `` with leading/trailing spaces
+- **RSIDs**: Must be 8-digit hex (e.g., `00AB1234`)
+
+### Tracked Changes
+
+**Insertion:**
+```xml
+
+ inserted text
+
+```
+
+**Deletion:**
+```xml
+
+ deleted text
+
+```
+
+**Inside ``**: Use `` instead of ``, and `` instead of ``.
+
+**Minimal edits** - only mark what changes:
+```xml
+
+The term is
+
+ 30
+
+
+ 60
+
+ days.
+```
+
+**Deleting entire paragraphs/list items** - when removing ALL content from a paragraph, also mark the paragraph mark as deleted so it merges with the next paragraph. Add `` inside ``:
+```xml
+
+
+ ...
+
+
+
+
+
+ Entire paragraph content being deleted...
+
+
+```
+Without the `` in ``, accepting changes leaves an empty paragraph/list item.
+
+**Rejecting another author's insertion** - nest deletion inside their insertion:
+```xml
+
+
+ their inserted text
+
+
+```
+
+**Restoring another author's deletion** - add insertion after (don't modify their deletion):
+```xml
+
+ deleted text
+
+
+ deleted text
+
+```
+
+### Comments
+
+After running `comment.py` (see Step 2), add markers to document.xml. For replies, use `--parent` flag and nest markers inside the parent's.
+
+**CRITICAL: `` and `` are siblings of ``, never inside ``.**
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+ deleted
+
+ more text
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ text
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+### Images
+
+1. Add image file to `word/media/`
+2. Add relationship to `word/_rels/document.xml.rels`:
+```xml
+
+```
+3. Add content type to `[Content_Types].xml`:
+```xml

+4. Reference in document.xml:

+# Note — DOCX Skill: Trying It Out (FAQ)
+
+Companion notes to `DOCXSKILL.md`. Captures how to experience the skill before
+it is wired into the clawix agent runtime, and what was verified in the
+host-side demo run on 2026-05-09.
+
+---
+
+## Q1. How can I actually try the skill?
+
+**Three ways, ordered by effort.**
+
+### Path A — Me-as-skill (now)
+- **What you do:** Tell Claude what doc you want — Claude follows `SKILL.md` and produces a `.docx` in your workspace.
+- **What you experience:** The output, end-to-end.
+- **Setup:** `npm install -g docx` (host has Node ✓). Add `brew install pandoc poppler libreoffice` only if you want read/convert paths too.
+
+### Path B — Wire into clawix agent
+- **What you do:** Move `SKILL.md` to `skills/builtin/docx/`, rebuild the agent image with the deps from the comment block in `DOCXSKILL.md`, then trigger via the clawix UI.
+- **What you experience:** The skill running inside the agent sandbox the way it would for end-users.
+- **Setup:** ~10 min: scaffold `skills/builtin/docx/`, add scripts, `docker build` agent image, recreate compose stack.
+
+### Path C — Install as a Claude Code skill
+- **What you do:** Put it at `~/.claude/skills/docx/` and let Claude Code load it for any session.
+- **What you experience:** Skill auto-triggers on `.docx` requests in any future Claude Code session, not just inside clawix.
+- **Setup:** Same host deps as A; plus authoring `scripts/` — the `SKILL.md` references files that don't exist yet (`unpack.py`, `pack.py`, etc.).
+
+---
+
+## Q2. We chose Path A — what got produced?
+
+Sample document at `/Users/aibymluk/clawix/data/docx-demo/clawix-docx-skill-brief.docx`,
+generated by `/Users/aibymluk/clawix/data/docx-demo/build.cjs`.
+
+Verified output:
+- `file` reports `Microsoft Word 2007+`
+- Zip contains the expected OOXML parts: `word/document.xml`, `word/styles.xml`, `word/numbering.xml`, header/footer parts, `_rels/`, `docProps/core.xml`
+
+Open with:
+
+```bash
+open /Users/aibymluk/clawix/data/docx-demo/clawix-docx-skill-brief.docx
+```
+
+---
+
+## Q3. Which parts of the skill does the sample exercise?
+
+| Skill section | Where it appears in the file |
+|---|---|
+| Page Size (US Letter, 1″ margins) | Page geometry |
+| Styles (override `Heading1`/`Heading2`, Arial 12 pt default) | Title + section headings |
+| Lists (`LevelFormat.BULLET` via numbering config — no unicode bullets) | "What this file proves" bullets |
+| Tables (dual widths, `ShadingType.CLEAR`, header shading `D5E8F0`) | Capability matrix |
+| Hyperlinks (`ExternalHyperlink`) | "DOCXSKILL.md" link in Reference |
+| Tab Stops (`RIGHT` + dot-leader via `PositionalTab`) | "Section 3 …… p. 2" line |
+| Page Breaks (`PageBreak` inside `Paragraph`) | Forces page 2 |
+| Headers/Footers (`PageNumber.CURRENT` + `TOTAL_PAGES`) | "Page X of Y" footer |
+
+---
+
+## Q4. Anything to watch out for inside this monorepo?
+
+**Yes — `require` vs `import`.** The skill's "Setup" snippet uses CommonJS:
+
+```javascript
+const { Document, Packer, ... } = require('docx');
+```
+
+Clawix's root `package.json` declares `"type": "module"`, which makes `.js`
+files inside the repo behave as ES modules. Running the snippet as `build.js`
+fails with `ReferenceError: require is not defined in ES module scope`.
+
+**Fixes (pick one):**
+- Save the build script with a `.cjs` extension (what the demo did).
+- Convert the snippet to `import { Document, Packer, ... } from 'docx'`.
+- Run from a directory that has its own `package.json` without `"type": "module"`.
+
+This is worth adding to `DOCXSKILL.md`'s "Critical Rules for docx-js" section
+the next time the skill is updated for clawix.
+
+**`NODE_PATH` for global installs.** docx-js was installed globally
+(`npm install -g docx`). Resolving it from a script outside the global
+`node_modules` requires either `NODE_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules` in
+the environment, or an absolute `require('/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/docx')`.
+Inside an agent container this is moot — the package would live in the image's
+own global module path.
+
+---
+
+## Q5. What about the read / convert paths (extract text, render to PDF)?
+
+Not exercised in the demo. They need:
+
+| Capability | Tool | Install command |
+|---|---|---|
+| Text extraction (`extract-text` / `pandoc`) | pandoc | `brew install pandoc` |
+| `.doc` → `.docx`, `.docx` → PDF | LibreOffice (`soffice`) | `brew install libreoffice` |
+| PDF → page images (`pdftoppm`) | Poppler | `brew install poppler` |
+| `unpack.py` / `pack.py` / `validate.py` | python-docx + lxml | `pip install python-docx lxml` |
+
+Run `which pandoc soffice libreoffice pdftoppm` to see what's still missing on
+the host. The demo confirmed all four were absent at the time of writing.
+
+---
+
+## Q6. What's the next logical step beyond the host demo?
+
+Path B — wire it into the clawix agent — is the natural follow-up:
+
+1. Apply the Dockerfile additions documented in the HTML comment at the top of `DOCXSKILL.md`.
+2. Create `skills/builtin/docx/` with `SKILL.md` and the `scripts/` tree the body references.
+3. Rebuild the agent image: `docker build -t clawix-agent:latest -f infra/docker/agent/Dockerfile .`
+4. Recreate the dev stack: `docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --force-recreate`.
+
+This produces the same end result (a `.docx` on disk) but inside the offline
+agent sandbox — proving the security model and the skill compose cleanly.
+
+---
+
+## Q7. Where do the demo artifacts live?
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `/Users/aibymluk/clawix/reference/SKILL/DOCXSKILL.md` | The skill itself (with deployment-notes comment + LinkedIn pitch added). |
+| `/Users/aibymluk/clawix/reference/SKILL/Note_DOCSKILL.md` | This file. |
+| `/Users/aibymluk/clawix/data/docx-demo/build.cjs` | The build script — edit and re-run to experiment. |
+| `/Users/aibymluk/clawix/data/docx-demo/clawix-docx-skill-brief.docx` | The generated sample document. |
+
+Tweak `build.cjs` and re-run with:
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/aibymluk/clawix/data/docx-demo
+NODE_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules node build.cjs
+```

+description: Aging buckets, dispute handling, payment-run construction, dunning-note templates, and the rules around vendor master-data hygiene (the most common fraud vector). Read by ap-ar, cashflow, audit.
+user-invocable: true
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "always": false, "emoji": "📅" } }
+---
+
+# Aging buckets
+
+Standard buckets, used in every AP and AR aging report:
+
+- Current (not yet due)
+- 1–30 days past due
+- 31–60 days past due
+- 61–90 days past due
+- 90+ days past due
+
+Past-due is measured against contractual due date, not invoice date. Disputes do not reset the clock for reporting; they sit in a separate "Disputed" column and are excluded from the cash-flow inflow estimate at the dispute-class default weighting (`policies/cashflow-weights.yml`).
+
+# AP payment-run construction
+
+A payment-run draft answers the question "what should the firm pay this Friday". It does not pay anything.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- Open AP invoices with `due-date <= run-date + payment-cycle-days`.
+- Vendor master data (terms, payment method, banking — masked in output).
+- Hold rules from `policies/ap-holds.yml`.
+- Cash-flow constraint: the cashflow agent's brief on available headroom.
+
+## Output (draft)
+
+```yaml
+---
+type: payment-run
+engagement:
+run-date:
+currency-base:
+total-base:
+total-by-currency: { EUR: ..., USD: ... }
+holds-applied:
+disputed-excluded:
+---
+
+| invoice | vendor (code) | due | amount-orig | ccy | amount-base | bank-mask | recommend | rationale |
+|---------|---------------|-----|-------------|-----|-------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
+| INV-1 | V001 | ... | 297.60 | EUR | 297.60 | ****1234 | PAY | Within terms, no holds |
+| INV-9 | V019 | ... | 1500.00 | EUR | 1500.00 | ****9999 | HOLD | Vendor flagged: bank-detail change in last 30 days |
+```
+
+Recommendations are PAY, HOLD, or SHORT-PAY with rationale. The human approves.
+
+## Standard hold rules
+
+- Vendor on hold list (`engagements//parties/holds.yml`)
+- Vendor master-data flagged for review
+- Bank detail changed within last 30 days (fraud window)
+- Disputed invoice
+- Missing GRN (where required by `policies/po-policy.yml`)
+- Above the engagement's single-payment threshold (forces partner approval)
+
+# AR collection notes
+
+Notes are templated, not freelanced. Templates by aging bucket and customer category live in this skill folder under `templates/`. The agent fills in fields; it never paraphrases the policy text.
+
+## Categories
+
+- Strategic customer (low pressure, partner-led)
+- Standard customer (firm but professional)
+- High-risk customer (formal, with deadline)
+
+The category is on the customer master file. The agent does not infer it.
+
+## Standard escalation
+
+| Days past due | Action |
+|---|---|
+| 1–14 | No action; standard reminder optional |
+| 15–30 | First note (templated) |
+| 31–60 | Second note + phone-call request to engagement partner |
+| 61–90 | Formal note + suspend new credit |
+| 90+ | Refer to partner; consider write-off discussion |
+
+The agent drafts. The human sends.
+
+# Vendor master-data hygiene (fraud)
+
+The most common occupational fraud is a vendor bank-detail change initiated by an attacker impersonating the vendor over email. Rules:
+
+- Master-data changes are `human-in-loop` regardless of who requests them.
+- A change requires a verified channel (signed letter, known phone number, in-person), not an email.
+- After a change, the vendor is on a 30-day flag; payments hold automatically and require partner sign-off.
+- Multiple master-data changes in a 90-day window are a finding.
+
+The AP agent never changes master data. The agent flags an inbound change request and routes it to a human.
+
+# Refusal patterns
+
+- "Pay vendor X today, override the hold" → refuse.
+- "Send the dunning note now" → refuse. Drafts go to `drafts/`.
+- "Update vendor banking from this email" → refuse.
+- "Write off the over-180 balance to clean up the aging" → refuse.
+- "Skip a category-customer escalation step to save time" → refuse. The escalation ladder is policy.

+name: balance-sheet
+description: How the reporting agent constructs the balance sheet — preconditions, account-range mapping, comparative-period rules, restatement discipline, and the rule that interim cuts are watermarked. Read by reporting, audit.
+user-invocable: true
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "always": false, "emoji": "📊" } }
+---
+
+# Preconditions before producing a balance sheet
+
+The reporting agent runs the following before drafting:
+
+- The trial balance balances (debits = credits to the cent).
+- Every cash, intercompany, and clearing account has a reviewed reconciliation for the period.
+- No audit findings of severity high or critical are open.
+- The period is closed (`periods//closed.lock` exists), or the user has explicitly invoked `produce-interim-report `.
+
+If any precondition fails, the agent does not produce the balance sheet. It produces a one-page "Pack blocked" file listing what is missing and stops.
+
+## Account-range to statement-line mapping
+
+The mapping lives in `chart-of-accounts.yml` per account (`statutory-mapping`). The reporting agent reads the mapping; it does not infer.
+
+Standard top-level groupings:
+
+```
+Assets
+ Current
+ Cash and equivalents
+ Trade and other receivables
+ Inventory
+ Prepayments
+ Other current assets
+ Non-current
+ Property, plant, equipment (net)
+ Intangibles (net)
+ Long-term investments
+ Other non-current assets
+
+Liabilities
+ Current
+ Trade and other payables
+ Accruals
+ Tax liabilities
+ Short-term debt
+ Other current liabilities
+ Non-current
+ Long-term debt
+ Deferred tax
+ Other non-current liabilities
+
+Equity
+ Share capital
+ Reserves
+ Retained earnings
+ Profit/loss for the period
+```
+
+The exact lines come from `policies/reporting-basis.yml` (GAAP or IFRS-SME).
+
+## Comparative period
+
+A balance sheet always shows the comparative period. Default comparative is the prior period's closing.
+
+Comparatives must match the prior-period statements as previously issued. A change to a comparative is a restatement and requires:
+
+- A disclosure note explaining the restatement.
+- An audit-marked review of the restatement.
+- A `prior-period-restatement` audit log entry.
+
+The agent does not silently restate.
+
+## Account name changes
+
+If an account's name has changed between the comparative period and the current period, both names appear in the comparative column header (e.g., "Other office costs (was: Office supplies)").
+
+## Rounding
+
+Money rounds to the unit specified in `policies/reporting-basis.yml` (typically 2dp or 0dp for pack rollups). The agent never rounds during arithmetic, only at presentation. Cross-references between rounded totals reconcile to the cent at the un-rounded level.
+
+## Reconciliation note (always present)
+
+Every balance-sheet draft ends with:
+
+```
+Trial balance total assets
+= Balance sheet total assets ✓
+Trial balance total liabs+equity
+= Balance sheet total liabs+equity ✓
+```
+
+If either line does not match to the cent, the draft is invalid; the agent removes it and writes a "Pack blocked" file.
+
+## Refusal patterns
+
+- "Produce the balance sheet for an open period without the interim flag" → refuse.
+- "Combine the new account into the old account's name in the comparative" → refuse. Both names appear, or it is a restatement.
+- "Skip the reconciliation note" → refuse.
+- "Restate the comparatives without a disclosure note" → refuse.
+- "Adjust opening retained earnings to plug a difference" → refuse. The trial balance must balance first.

+name: bank-reconciliation
+description: How the firm reconciles bank, credit-card, intercompany, and clearing accounts. Auto-match thresholds, handling of timing items, treatment of bank charges and FX, and the rule that plug entries are forbidden. Read by reconciliation, audit.
+user-invocable: true
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "always": false, "emoji": "🏦" } }
+---
+
+# Reconciliation, the firm's way
+
+A reconciliation explains the difference between what the bank says and what the ledger says. It does not erase the difference, and it does not balance by introducing new numbers.
+
+## The structure of every reconciliation
+
+```
+opening ledger balance
++ ledger movements during period
+= closing ledger balance (A)
+
+opening statement balance
++ statement movements during period
+= closing statement balance (B)
+
+A vs B explained by:
++ deposits in transit (timing)
+- outstanding payments (timing)
+± genuine differences (JE drafts)
+```
+
+If the result does not balance to the cent, the reconciliation is not finished. Do not mark it ready for review.
+
+## Auto-match rule
+
+A statement line and a ledger line auto-match only when:
+
+- Amounts agree exactly (or within `policies/reconciliation-tolerance.yml.amount`, default 0.05).
+- Dates agree within `policies/reconciliation-tolerance.yml.date-days`, default 1 day.
+- One of {counterparty name, payment reference, memo} agrees.
+
+Anything weaker becomes a "proposed match — needs confirmation" line.
+
+## Timing items
+
+- **Outstanding payments**: ledger has it, statement does not. List with date, amount, payee. Do not delete from the ledger.
+- **Deposits in transit**: ledger has it, statement does not. List with date, amount, payer.
+- Items older than the policy window (default 60 days) become a finding, not a timing item.
+
+## Genuine differences (these become JE drafts)
+
+| Cause | JE drafted by reconciliation agent? |
+|---|---|
+| Bank charges | yes |
+| Bank interest received/paid | yes |
+| FX revaluation | yes (using policy spot) |
+| Returned cheque / failed direct debit | yes (reverse the original) |
+| Duplicate posting | no — finding |
+| Misposting | no — finding (bookkeeping fixes) |
+| Fraud signal | no — finding (audit takes it; do not draft) |
+
+## Plug entries are forbidden
+
+If a difference cannot be explained by a timing item or one of the categories above, it is unexplained and stays unexplained until a human resolves it. The agent never "balances" by writing an unexplained adjustment.
+
+## Intercompany reconciliations
+
+Mismatch over policy tolerance never produces a one-side JE. Both sides confirm and one side amends.
+
+## Credit-card reconciliations
+
+Cardholder must code their own lines (or the receipt must be in the system). Reconciliation matches the statement against the coded lines. Uncoded lines are a finding against the cardholder, not a free-coding job for the agent.
+
+## Refusal patterns
+
+- "Plug the small difference, the cents don't matter" → refuse.
+- "Reduce the date tolerance to make more lines auto-match" → refuse. Tolerance is policy.
+- "Mark the reconciliation reviewed, you saw it match" → refuse. Reviewer is `audit` or a human; preparer-as-reviewer is forbidden.
+- "Delete the old outstanding payments" → refuse. Old timing items are findings.
+
+## Outputs
+
+- The reconciliation working file in `drafts/reconciliations///.rec.md`.
+- One JE draft per genuine difference, in `drafts/journal-entries/`.
+- A list of "human resolve" items inside the reconciliation working file.

+description: Material take-off, wholesale pricing, schedule of works, and day-rate labour planning for small builders and renovation outfits (1–10 staff). Use when the user asks for a quote, needs a BoM from drawings or a scope description, wants a schedule of works, asks "what should I charge for this", or mentions trade counters like Travis Perkins, Jewson, MKM, Selco. Builds on home-build-shared.
+version: 1.0.0
+author: clawix-home-build
+tags: [home, construction, builder, takeoff, quote, schedule]
+---
+
+# Small Builder — Take-off to Schedule
+
+For a 1–10 person general contractor or renovation outfit. Covers:
+
+1. **Take-off** — extract a quantified material list from the user's scope description, sketch, or drawing
+2. **Pricing** — wholesale prices from named trade counters
+3. **Quote** — costed proposal using the shared roll-up
+4. **Schedule of works** — week-by-week sequence with crew + dependencies
+
+**Always read `home-build-shared` first** for units, BoM schema, costing roll-up, and client-data rules.
+
+---
+
+## When to invoke
+
+Trigger on: "take off this scope", "what materials do I need for X", "build a quote for", "schedule of works", "how many days for", "what's the labour for", "compare Travis Perkins to Jewson", "what would a kitchen extension cost".
+
+If the user pastes architect's drawings or a scope sheet, this is the skill.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Scope & take-off
+
+### Capture the scope first
+
+Ask the user to confirm in their own words. A take-off built off a fuzzy scope is worse than no take-off — it gets quoted, then re-quoted at change-order time, and the relationship goes sour.
+
+The scope record (write to `/workspace//scope.md`) needs:
+
+- One-paragraph description in the customer's own language
+- Inclusions list (what we're doing)
+- Exclusions list (what we're not — usually decorating, FF&E, soft furnishings, appliances unless specified)
+- Drawings / photos referenced (filename + version)
+- Any provisional sums (PC sums) — items priced by allowance, not measure (e.g. "PC sum £3,000 for kitchen taps and sink, customer choice")
+
+### Then take off
+
+Walk the scope room-by-room or trade-by-trade — pick whichever matches the drawings. For each item:
+
+1. Identify the material category (`references/material-categories.md` — has the canonical list)
+2. Measure the quantity in the right unit (m, m², m³, each)
+3. Apply waste from `home-build-shared/references/waste-allowances.md`
+4. Add to `bom.csv` per the canonical schema
+
+**Common take-off pitfalls (don't make these):**
+
+- Forgetting fixings, sealants, and adhesives — every plasterboard ceiling needs screws + scrim + filler + tape; quote them separately
+- Forgetting wastage on offcuts — see waste table
+- Forgetting plant hire — skip, scaffold, dehumidifier, mixer; these go in their own `plant.csv` with day-rate
+- Forgetting first-fix vs second-fix — a kitchen has two visit-loads of plumbing and electrics, not one
+- Forgetting access — second-floor work or no driveway parking changes the labour day count
+
+### Plant hire
+
+Goes in `/workspace//plant.csv`, same schema as `bom.csv` but `unit` is always `day`. Roll into the quote as a separate sub-total so the customer sees it.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Wholesale pricing
+
+### Where to look (UK)
+
+| Counter | Best for | Account benefit |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
+| Travis Perkins | Heavy materials, timber, insulation | Trade account = ~10–15 % off list |
+| Jewson | Same range as TP, often better in N England| Trade account |
+| MKM | Mixed; strong in groundworks | Trade account |
+| Selco | Cash-and-carry, fast pickup | Trade card; lower margin |
+| Howdens | Kitchens, doors, flooring | Trade-only; pricing on application |
+| Wickes | Mid-range materials, retail-priced | Trade discount card |
+| Screwfix / Toolstation | Consumables, tools, electrical, plumbing | Click-and-collect 1 minute |
+| CEF / Edmundson / Rexel | Electrical wholesale | Trade only |
+| Plumb Center / Wolseley | Plumbing wholesale | Trade only |
+
+### Sourcing rules
+
+- Use `web_search` to find the supplier's product page; `web_fetch` to read the live list price.
+- **Quote at list price** unless the user has confirmed their trade discount in writing (saved in memory as e.g. "user has 12 % off TP list"). Customer sees list, you keep the discount as margin or pass some on — that's a business decision, not the bundle's call.
+- One supplier per row. If you compare two suppliers, that's two rows in `bom.csv` with one marked `notes: alternate quote`.
+
+### When the user has trade-counter export
+
+If the user pastes a Travis Perkins / Jewson cart export, parse it directly into `bom.csv` rather than re-pricing line-by-line. Always cite the cart reference + export date in `notes`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Quote
+
+Run `bom_aggregator.py`, then build `quote.md` with the costing stack from `home-build-shared/references/cost-rollup-method.md`.
+
+A small builder quote needs:
+
+- Project description (one paragraph, customer's language)
+- Inclusions / exclusions (verbatim from `scope.md`)
+- The line-by-line build-up
+- Payment schedule (typically 25 % deposit on order, 25 % on first-fix complete, 25 % on second-fix, 25 % on snag-list signed off — vary per job size)
+- Programme (start date, expected duration, key dependencies on customer decisions)
+- Validity (typically 30 days for prices, 90 days for the rest)
+- T&Cs reference (don't paste your full T&Cs into the quote — link to a separate `terms.md`)
+
+Render in plain Markdown — let the user convert to PDF / Word in their own toolchain.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Schedule of works
+
+Build `/workspace//schedule.md` as a week-by-week table. Use `references/schedule-template.md`.
+
+Sequencing rules:
+
+1. Strip-out and protection first
+2. Structural / first-fix carpentry
+3. First-fix M&E (electrics, plumbing, HVAC) — these depend on the structure, so always after carpentry
+4. Plastering — needs first-fix done and signed off
+5. Drying time (1 mm per day rule of thumb for skim, faster with dehu) — this is real time on the programme
+6. Second-fix carpentry (architraves, skirtings, doors)
+7. Second-fix M&E (sockets, switches, sanitaryware, taps)
+8. Decoration
+9. Snagging
+
+For each week, the schedule lists: **trade on site / what they're doing / what they need to be ready / what comes after them**.
+
+Customer decisions go on the schedule too — "Week 4: customer must have selected tiles by end of week or week 6 slips."
+
+---
+
+## Day-rate planning
+
+Default UK day rates (confirm with the user — these vary regionally):
+
+| Trade | Day rate (GBP) | Notes |
+| ---------------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| Labourer | 150–180 | |
+| Carpenter | 220–280 | First-fix lower end, second-fix top end |
+| Plasterer | 250–300 | + skimming work in m² for piecework jobs |
+| Tiler | 220–300 | + £/m² for large bathrooms |
+| Painter | 180–230 | |
+| Electrician | 280–350 | + Part P certification work charged separately |
+| Plumber | 280–350 | |
+| Bricklayer | 250–300 | + £/1000 for piecework |
+| Groundworker | 220–280 | |
+| Site manager | 300–400 | Often the user themselves on small jobs |
+
+For each crew member, multiply day rate × days on site (from the schedule). Record the assumption — the user can override per project.
+
+---
+
+## Bundled scripts and references
+
+- `scripts/quote_builder.py` — reads `bom.csv` + `plant.csv` + a small JSON of overrides (margin %, VAT %, day-rate map), renders `quote.md`
+- `references/material-categories.md` — canonical category list for take-offs
+- `references/schedule-template.md` — week-by-week table template
+- `references/scope-template.md` — scope.md template

+description: How the firm builds the daily cash position and the 13-week rolling forecast. Driver-based forecasting, probability weighting from collection history, stress scenarios, variance analysis after the week. Read by cashflow, reporting.
+user-invocable: true
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "always": false, "emoji": "💧" } }
+---
+
+# Two artifacts, two purposes
+
+- **Daily cash position**: a fact. Today's balances by account, intraday movements, status of each account's last reconciliation.
+- **13-week rolling forecast**: a probability-weighted projection. Driver-based, not trend-based.
+
+The agents do not produce a cash forecast that lacks an explicit driver per material line.
+
+## Daily position rules
+
+- Use only posted lines and reviewed reconciliations.
+- An account whose last reconciliation is not reviewed is shown with its current ledger balance and labelled `status: unreviewed-balance`.
+- Account numbers are masked; labels and last-4 only.
+- Intraday movements after the reconciliation cut-off are listed separately and do not move the headline number.
+
+## Forecast rules
+
+The forecast is a sum of drivers, not a smoothed curve.
+
+### Inflow drivers
+
+- AR by aging bucket × policy weight from `policies/cashflow-weights.yml` (e.g., Current 95%, 1–30 80%, 31–60 60%, 61–90 35%, 90+ 10%).
+- Disputed invoices weighted at the dispute-class default unless the engagement overrides.
+- Recurring inflows from `engagements//recurring-cashflows.yml`.
+- One-offs from `engagements//expected-inflows.yml` (each must reference a contract or an executed milestone).
+
+### Outflow drivers
+
+- AP payment-run drafts (week-by-week from the AP agent's briefs).
+- Payroll calendar.
+- Debt service (capital + interest) from the debt schedule.
+- Tax remittances from the tax calendar.
+- One-offs from `engagements//expected-outflows.yml`.
+
+### Output
+
+```
+| week | inflows-weighted | outflows | net | closing | min-during-week |
+```
+
+`min-during-week` is the lowest projected daily cash within the week — this is the figure that matters for covenant headroom and overdraft avoidance.
+
+If `min-during-week` falls below the engagement's policy floor in any week of the horizon, the agent drops a brief into `briefs/coordinator-cashflow-alert-YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
+
+## Stress scenarios
+
+Standard scenarios, run on request, never substituted for the base case:
+
+- Customer-X delays N days
+- N% across-the-board AR slowdown
+- AP-run W+1 approved at 100% / 80% / 50%
+- One-off inflow Y delayed K weeks
+
+Each scenario is its own file; never overwrites the base forecast.
+
+## Variance after the week
+
+After each week's actuals are in:
+
+- Spawn `variance-analyzer` with last week's forecast and last week's actuals.
+- The agent appends "Last week's variance" to the new week's forecast, listing material movements with their drivers and an explicit unexplained-residual line.
+
+This is how the model improves. The agent does not silently adjust weights; weight changes are a `change_policy` action and require human approval.
+
+## Refusal patterns
+
+- "Adjust the forecast to hit the partner's number" → refuse. Driver-based, not target-based.
+- "Drop the unreviewed-balance flag for the daily position" → refuse.
+- "Quietly raise the weight on Customer X to make next week look better" → refuse. Weight changes are policy actions.
+- "Combine all the stress scenarios into one number" → refuse. Each scenario stands alone.

+name: chart-of-accounts
+description: How the firm uses its chart of accounts — the firm-level baseline chart, per-engagement overrides, the rules for proposing a new account (always a coding question, never an invented code), and the per-engagement coding-memory file. Read by bookkeeping and gl-classifier.
+user-invocable: true
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "always": false, "emoji": "🗂️" } }
+---
+
+# What the chart is, and what it is not
+
+The chart of accounts is a controlled vocabulary. The agents pick from it; they never extend it.
+
+The firm-level baseline lives at `chart-of-accounts.yml` at the root of the workspace. An engagement may override or extend the baseline at `engagements//chart-of-accounts.yml`. When both are present, the engagement-level chart is the authoritative one for that engagement.
+
+The chart is not a description of the business. It is a coding scheme. If a transaction does not fit, the agent writes a coding question, not an entry.
+
+## Account ranges (firm baseline)
+
+```
+1000–1999 Assets
+ 1000–1099 Cash and equivalents
+ 1100–1199 Marketable securities
+ 1300–1399 Receivables
+ 1400–1499 Inventory
+ 1500–1599 Prepayments
+ 1600–1799 Property, plant, equipment
+ 1800–1899 Intangibles
+ 1900–1999 Other assets
+
+2000–2999 Liabilities
+ 2000–2099 Trade payables
+ 2100–2199 Accruals
+ 2200–2299 Tax liabilities
+ 2300–2399 Employee liabilities
+ 2400–2499 Short-term debt
+ 2500–2599 Long-term debt
+ 2900–2999 Other liabilities
+
+3000–3999 Equity
+4000–4999 Revenue
+5000–5999 Cost of sales
+6000–7999 Operating expenses
+8000–8999 Other / financial / FX
+9000–9999 Tax and unusual items
+```
+
+The exact account file (yaml) carries `code`, `name`, `parent`, `statutory-mapping`, `currency-policy`, `taxable-default`.
+
+## Per-engagement coding-memory
+
+`engagements//coding-memory.yml` records prior coding decisions on the same counterparty/description pattern. It is updated *only* by humans when they accept or amend a draft entry, and it is then read by `gl-classifier` for future suggestions.
+
+The agent never writes to `coding-memory.yml` from a draft. Memory builds from posted decisions, not proposed ones.
+
+## When the chart does not cover it
+
+The bookkeeping agent writes a coding question to `drafts/coding-questions//-.md`:
+
+```yaml
+---
+type: coding-question
+engagement:
+period:
+opened:
+source-doc: source-docs///-
+---
+
+## Why a question, not an entry
+
+
+## Options
+1. Account 6090 (Other office costs)
+ - Implication: ...
+ - Argument for: ...
+ - Argument against: ...
+2. New account 6XXX (proposed: "Cybersecurity tooling")
+ - Implication: changes the chart of accounts (`change_chart_of_accounts` action; human-in-loop)
+ - ...
+
+## Recommendation
+
+```
+
+The agent never resolves the question itself.
+
+## Statutory mapping
+
+Each account in the chart carries a `statutory-mapping` (e.g. balance-sheet line, P&L category) used by the reporting agent. If a new account is approved, the human entering it must pick the mapping; the agent will not infer it.
+
+## Refusal patterns
+
+- "Code this to a placeholder account for now" → refuse. Coding question instead.
+- "Use the firm baseline even though the engagement has its own chart" → refuse. Engagement override is authoritative for its own data.
+- "Update coding-memory yourself based on this draft" → refuse. Memory builds from posted decisions.

+# Home Designer — Spec to Proposal
+
+For an independent home designer or small studio. Covers:
+
+1. **Spec sheet** — one product, one page, ready to share with a builder or supplier
+2. **Supplier comparison** — three or four candidates lined up against the brief
+3. **FF&E schedule** — the full project list, room by room
+4. **Client proposal pack** — the document the customer signs
+
+**Always read `home-build-shared` first** for units, costing, and client-data rules.

+This skill produces designer-grade documents — the customer-facing tone matters. Plain English, no jargon, no padding.
+
+---
+
+## When to invoke
+
+Trigger on: "spec sheet", "compare these ", "FF&E schedule", "build the proposal", "mood board outline", "supplier shortlist", "what should I quote for design fees".
+
+The skill assumes you already have a brief from the client. If you don't, gather one first using `references/brief-questions.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — The brief
+
+The brief is the spine — every later document references it. Write it to `/workspace//brief.md`.
+
+Drive from `references/brief-questions.md` — it has the question set per project type (whole house, single room, kitchen, bathroom). Don't dump the whole list on the client; ask in three rounds:
+
+1. **Functional** — who uses the room, what for, when, how often
+2. **Aesthetic** — words for the feeling (calm, lively, formal, raw), colours they love, colours they hate, references they like
+3. **Practical** — budget band, deadline, anything fixed (heritage features, a piece of art that must stay, a pet)
+
+The brief is captured in plain English — no design vocabulary the client wouldn't use themselves. If they say "cosy", write "cosy" — don't translate to "Hygge-influenced".
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Spec sheets
+
+One product = one spec sheet. Render to `/workspace//specs/.md` using `assets/spec-sheet.template.md`.
+
+Each spec sheet has:
+
+- Hero photo (filename only — never embed binaries in the markdown; reference paths under `assets/`)
+- One-line description
+- Brand + product code + finish/colour
+- Dimensions (W × D × H, plus any swing/clearance dimensions for doors and drawers)
+- Materials (top, frame, upholstery)
+- Care instructions
+- Lead time + price + supplier link (with retrieval date in the footer)
+- Substitutes (one or two, in case of stock issues)
+
+The spec sheet is the **builder's** view of the product, not the customer's mood-board view. Builders need product code + dimensions + lead time. The customer view comes in Phase 4.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Supplier comparisons
+
+When the client asks "which one should we go for?" between three candidates, render `/workspace//comparisons/.md`.
+
+Use `references/comparison-template.md`. The format is a side-by-side table with one row per axis:
+
+- Headline price
+- Lead time
+- Dimensions
+- Material composition
+- Country of manufacture
+- Warranty
+- Aftercare (returns policy, parts availability)
+- Designer's note (one sentence — your professional view, not "all are great")
+
+End with a **recommendation paragraph**. The client is paying for your opinion, not a menu.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — FF&E schedule
+
+The full project's specified items in one CSV. Schema:
+
+```
+room,position,category,brand,product,sku,finish,qty,unit_price,currency,line_total,supplier,lead_weeks,status,notes
+```
+
+Field rules:
+
+- `room`: kitchen / master-bathroom / lounge / etc. (kebab-case)
+- `position`: e.g. "above-island", "left-of-fireplace", "wall-mounted-ne-corner"
+- `category`: lighting / furniture / soft-furnishing / sanitaryware / appliance / window-treatment / accessory / hardware
+- `status`: one of `proposed`, `client-approved`, `ordered`, `delivered`, `installed`, `withdrawn`
+- `lead_weeks`: weeks from order to delivery — **the single most important field for scheduling**
+
+This file feeds two downstream things: the proposal pack (Phase 5) and the builder/installer's BoM (handed off to `device-install-survey` or `builder-takeoff`).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Client proposal pack
+
+The customer-facing document. Render to `/workspace//proposal.md` using `references/proposal-structure.md`.
+
+Structure (the client reads this front-to-back):
+
+1. **Cover** — project name, client name, designer name, date, version
+2. **One-paragraph summary of the design idea** — in the client's own language from the brief
+3. **Room by room** — for each room: what's changing, why, what it'll feel like (no jargon)
+4. **The look** — mood board references (filenames under `assets/moodboard/`), 4–8 images max
+5. **The pieces** — selected products with one image + description + price (NOT the full spec sheet)
+6. **Investment** — the costing build-up using the shared roll-up
+7. **Programme** — when the design is locked, when items are ordered, when delivery happens, when install happens
+8. **What's included in the design fee** — and what isn't (revisions, site visits, project management)
+9. **Sign-off** — printed name + date
+
+Designer fees — typical structures:
+
+| Structure | When it fits |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| Fixed fee | Single room with a clear scope |
+| % of project value | Whole-house projects with build budget over £75k |
+| Hourly | Consultancy, advisory work, partial scope |
+| Per-room flat fee | Kitchen / bathroom only |
+
+Recommend, but never pick the structure for the user — pricing is their relationship with the client.
+
+---
+
+## Bundled assets
+
+- `assets/spec-sheet.template.md` — single-product spec template
+- `assets/moodboard/.gitkeep` — convention for where mood-board images live
+
+## References
+
+- `references/brief-questions.md` — question bank by project type
+- `references/comparison-template.md` — supplier-comparison template
+- `references/proposal-structure.md` — full proposal walk-through
+
+## What this skill won't do
+
+- It won't produce mood-board images. Those are sourced from the user's library or licensed image services. The skill records filenames; it does not generate images.
+- It won't quote on someone else's labour without confirmation. If the proposal includes install, hand the builder/installer view off to `builder-takeoff` or `device-install-survey` — the designer's quote covers design fee + product, not third-party trade work.

+# Brief — question bank
+
+Don't ask all of these. Pick the ones that match the project. Three rounds — functional, aesthetic, practical.
+
+## Whole house / multi-room
+
+### Functional
+- Who lives here? Ages of household members?
+- Pets — what kind, how many, indoor or out?
+- How do you spend a typical Sunday at home?
+- Any work-from-home setups needed (full-time, hybrid, occasional)?
+- Do you entertain? (formal dinners, casual brunches, big parties, never)
+- Storage — what's currently overflowing? What's under-used?
+
+### Aesthetic
+- Three words for the feeling you want when you walk in
+- A room or hotel or restaurant you've loved — and why
+- Colours you reach for in your wardrobe
+- Patterns / textures you can't live without
+- Anything you actively hate (orange? brass? glass coffee tables?)
+
+### Practical
+- Budget band: under £20k / £20–50k / £50–100k / £100–250k / £250k+
+- Deadline (move-in date, anniversary, renovation completion?)
+- Existing pieces that **must** stay (heirloom dining table, art collection)
+- Existing pieces you'd happily lose
+- Are you going through a build / extension at the same time?
+
+## Kitchen-specific
+
+- Cook from scratch / heat ready meals / takeaway most nights — what's the honest split?
+- One cook or two? Cook side-by-side or take turns?
+- Eat at the island / table / sofa / bedroom?
+- Storage of small appliances — out on the worktop, in a pantry, in dedicated cupboards?
+- Bin strategy — single, dual, recycle-heavy, food waste?
+- Wine, dishwasher, double oven, single oven + steam oven, induction or gas?
+
+## Bathroom-specific
+
+- One person at a time or two getting ready together?
+- Bath used regularly or "for resale"?
+- Wet-room style or traditional shower + bath?
+- Storage — for what (towels, toiletries, hair tools, cleaning supplies)?
+- Heating — towel rail only, towel rail + UFH, radiators?
+- Window — keep, enlarge, change opening, frosted glass?
+
+## What never goes in brief.md
+
+- The client's home address (that lives in `clients/client.md` only)
+- The client's full name (just first names + "the family" — see `home-build-shared` client-data rules)

+description: End-to-end workflow for home device installers — smart-home, AV, CCTV, network, EV chargers, heat pumps, alarms, lighting. Use when the user describes a site visit, asks for an install BoM/quote, wants a pre-install checklist, needs a commissioning report, or says things like "I'm fitting X at Y, what do I need". Builds on home-build-shared.
+version: 1.0.0
+author: clawix-home-build
+tags: [home, install, smart-home, av, network, cctv, ev]
+---
+
+# Device Install — Survey to Sign-off
+
+For installers fitting devices in occupied or new-build homes. Covers the four phases:
+
+1. **Survey** — gather what's at the site before quoting
+2. **Bill of Materials** — devices + accessories + consumables
+3. **Install checklist** — pre-arrival, on-site, before-leaving
+4. **Commissioning report** — what was installed, how it was tested, what the customer signed off
+
+**Always read `home-build-shared` first** — it owns units, BoM schema, costing, and client-data rules. This skill assumes those.
+
+---
+
+## When the user starts a new install job
+
+Ask in this order, one at a time:
+
+1. **What are you fitting?** (e.g. "Hue lighting in 3 rooms + a Sonos Arc + a Ring doorbell")
+2. **Where?** (postcode + property type — flat, semi, detached, new-build, listed)
+3. **What's there now?** (existing wiring, network, hub, smart speakers — anything we'll integrate or replace)
+4. **Who is paying and who is the occupant?** (sometimes different — landlord vs tenant; consent flows differ)
+
+Then scaffold the project per `home-build-shared` and start the survey.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Survey
+
+Drive to one of the survey templates in `references/` based on category:
+
+| Category | Template |
+| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| Smart lighting / switches | `references/survey-smart-lighting.md` |
+| AV (TVs, speakers, projectors) | `references/survey-av.md` |
+| CCTV / doorbell / alarm | `references/survey-security.md` |
+| Network (Wi-Fi, mesh, AP) | `references/survey-network.md` |
+| EV charger | `references/survey-ev-charger.md` |
+| Heat pump (ASHP) | `references/survey-heat-pump.md` |
+
+Each template lists the questions and the photos to ask the user to upload. Save the user's responses + photo filenames into `/workspace//survey.md`.
+
+If the user can't physically attend, build the survey from photos + a video walk-through. State the assumptions in `survey.md` and flag them as `[assumed]` so the customer sees what hasn't been verified.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Bill of Materials
+
+Three categories per BoM, in this order, using the canonical `bom.csv` schema from `home-build-shared`:
+
+1. **Primary devices** — the things being fitted (hub, switches, speakers, cameras, charger, etc.)
+2. **Accessories** — mounts, brackets, PSUs, faceplates, in-wall back-boxes, ethernet patch leads, HDMI, screws/anchors
+3. **Consumables** — cable (per-metre), trunking, gland, sealant, cable clips, P-clips, fire-rated foam
+
+Do **not** mix in labour lines yet — labour goes in a separate roll-up unless the user explicitly wants a single-document quote (then add `LAB-INST-DAY` rows last).
+
+### Sourcing rules
+
+- Prefer authorised distributors for branded gear (Philips Hue → Signify-authorised retailer; Ring → Amazon official; Sonos → Sonos.com / John Lewis / RS Pro). Avoid grey-market sellers — warranty is at risk.
+- For consumables, default to the user's preferred trade counter (saved in memory if known) — Screwfix, Toolstation, CEF, Edmundson, Rexel.
+- Use `web_fetch` to confirm the live price on the supplier page. Note the URL + retrieval date in the BoM `notes` column.
+
+### Quantity rules of thumb
+
+- Cat6 cable: route length × 1.15 + 1 m at each end.
+- Speaker cable: same as Cat6 + 0.5 m for an in-wall back-loop.
+- HDMI runs over 5 m: use a fibre-HDMI rather than a passive copper run, and add a power injector for the source-side adapter if the spec calls for it.
+- Fixings: round up to the next pack of 10 / 25 / 100.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Install checklist
+
+Three lists, generated into `/workspace//install-checklist.md`:
+
+### Pre-arrival (the day before)
+
+- All BoM items received and unboxed-checked (no missing parts)
+- Tools: ladder, drill + bits, fish tape, multimeter, label printer, IPA wipes
+- Test devices powered up and firmware-updated on the bench where possible
+- Confirmed parking + access window with the customer
+- Confirmed the homeowner has a working Wi-Fi password and the router is reachable
+
+### On-site (in order)
+
+- Take "before" photos of every wall, socket, and ceiling you'll touch. Save under `/workspace//photos/before/`.
+- Isolate power at the consumer unit for any mains work. Put a lock-off and a sign on the breaker.
+- Run any cables before you make a single hole — rope-route and check from both ends.
+- For each device: mount → terminate → power → join network → label.
+- Take "after" photos of every install location. Save under `/workspace//photos/after/`.
+
+### Before leaving (the customer-facing checklist)
+
+- Every device responding (smoke-test from the customer's phone)
+- Every device labelled (visible cable label + entry in the customer's network map)
+- Customer can do the three core operations: power on/off, control from their phone, factory-reset if it goes wrong
+- Old packaging removed (or left tidy, with the customer's permission)
+- Walk-through complete and customer has signed `commissioning.md`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Commissioning report
+
+Write `/workspace//commissioning.md` from `references/commissioning-template.md`. Minimum content:
+
+- What was fitted (one row per device, with serial + firmware)
+- Where it was fitted (room, position, photo path)
+- How it was tested (the procedure, not just "tested OK")
+- Customer sign-off block — printed name + date
+
+This document is the warranty trigger and the dispute defence. Do **not** skip the test procedures — write down what was actually checked.
+
+---
+
+## Compliance reminders (don't enforce, but flag)
+
+- **UK Part P (electrical):** any new circuit or work in a special location (kitchen, bathroom) is notifiable. If the user describes work that crosses this line and they're not Part P-registered, flag it and suggest sub-contracting the consumer-unit side.
+- **UK gas:** anything connecting to a gas appliance is Gas Safe only. Refuse to BoM gas work; offer to help the customer find a Gas Safe engineer.
+- **EV charger (UK):** OZEV grant rules + DNO notification for >32 A loads — flag both. Many chargers need a CT clamp and Earth-rod survey.
+- **Heat pump (UK):** MCS-certified install needed for BUS grant. Refuse to BoM the install if the user isn't MCS-certified; offer to BoM the prep work only.
+
+You are not the regulator — you flag, the user decides.
+
+---
+
+## Bundled assets
+
+- `assets/install-report.template.md` — drop-in template for the customer-facing report
+- `references/commissioning-template.md` — full commissioning sheet
+- `references/survey-*.md` — one per device category
+
+## Why this skill is safe
+
+Stays inside `/workspace//`. Reads supplier pages via host-side `web_fetch` (SSRF-protected). Never asks for or stores card details, payment details, or customer ID documents — installers don't need those, and the bundle won't accept them.

+# Survey — Home Network (Wi-Fi / Mesh / Wired)
+
+## Existing setup
+
+1. ISP and router model (and whether the user can replace it or must keep it for VoIP / IPTV)
+2. Property layout — single floor / multi-floor / detached outbuilding / garden
+3. Approximate property size (m²) and construction (timber-frame, brick, stone, concrete — RF behaviour differs hugely)
+4. Number of simultaneous users / devices
+5. Bandwidth-heavy use (4K streaming, work-from-home video calls, online gaming, security cameras)
+
+## Per area
+
+For each room/area to cover:
+
+- Required signal strength (browsing, HD video, 4K, VR, smart-home only)
+- Devices that **must** be wired (NAS, work PC, AV receiver, game console, CCTV NVR)
+- Existing data points (Cat5e/6 sockets) — quantity and condition
+
+## Photos to upload
+
+- ISP router + any existing AP/mesh node
+- Patch panel / wall plate locations
+- Any conduit or cable trays already in place
+- Ceiling void access (loft hatch, floor void access in upstairs rooms)
+
+## Decisions to record in survey.md
+
+- Mesh vs wired-back-haul AP — AP wins for >150 m² or any masonry walls
+- VLAN segmentation for IoT (recommend yes if >5 IoT devices)
+- Guest SSID required (yes by default for short-term lets and home-business)
+- Wi-Fi 6 vs 6E vs 7 — match to the oldest device the customer cares about
+
+## Open questions to surface
+
+- Does the existing router need to stay (ISP-supplied for VoIP / fibre)?
+- Is the customer running their own DHCP/DNS (Pi-hole, AdGuard) — affects AP-vs-router setup?
+- Any planned construction work that will affect cable routes in the next 12 months?

+# Survey — Smart Lighting
+
+Ask the user, in order:
+
+## Existing setup
+
+1. What's controlling the lights today? (regular wall switches / dimmers / smart switches / app)
+2. Brand of any existing smart kit (Hue, LIFX, Lutron, Aqara, Tapo, generic Tuya)
+3. Hub present? (model + firmware if known)
+4. Network: SSID name, 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz, mesh brand, whether IoT VLAN exists
+
+## Per room
+
+For each room being fitted:
+
+- Room name and approximate size (m² or sqft)
+- How many fixtures (bulbs, downlights, strips, outdoor)
+- Existing fixture type (E27, B22, GU10, integrated LED, halogen)
+- Switch type currently on the wall (single, double, dimmer, intermediate, no neutral?)
+- Desired control: per-fixture, per-room, scenes, voice, sensor-driven
+- Voice assistant in use (Alexa, Google, Siri/HomeKit, none)
+
+## Photos to upload
+
+- Each existing light fitting (front + back if accessible)
+- The wall switch (face plate removed if the user is competent and the breaker is off)
+- The consumer unit (full panel + close-up of the breaker labels)
+- The router and any existing smart hub
+
+## Outputs into survey.md
+
+- Bullet list of fixtures per room
+- Existing-vs-target compatibility note (e.g. "no neutral wire — use Hue dimmer module behind the existing switch, not a smart switch replacement")
+- Open questions for the customer

+description: Double-entry rules and templated journal-entry patterns the agents use when drafting JEs. Document-type templates (invoice, receipt, accrual, prepayment, depreciation, payroll, FX revaluation, tax remittance) and the "every entry balances, every line cites a source" discipline. Read by bookkeeping, reconciliation, ap-ar, audit, reporting.
+user-invocable: true
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "always": false, "emoji": "⚖️" } }
+---
+
+# The discipline
+
+1. Every entry balances. Debits = credits.
+2. Every line cites the source-doc path and hash.
+3. Every entry is dated to the economic-event date, not today.
+4. Every entry has a one-line memo that describes *what happened*, not *what it is*.
+5. Above-materiality entries include a one-paragraph rationale.
+
+## Default JE templates
+
+The agent uses these templates; if a transaction does not fit, it writes a coding question.
+
+### Vendor invoice (purchase of services or goods, with input VAT)
+
+| dr/cr | account | rule |
+|---|---|---|
+| dr | expense / asset | net amount, by chart classification |
+| dr | input-VAT recoverable | recoverable portion |
+| cr | accounts payable | gross amount, with vendor sub-ledger |
+
+### Customer invoice (sale, with output VAT)
+
+| dr | accounts receivable | gross |
+| cr | revenue | net |
+| cr | output-VAT payable | tax portion |
+
+### Customer receipt (cash in)
+
+| dr | bank | amount received |
+| cr | accounts receivable | matching open invoice(s) |
+
+If the receipt covers multiple invoices, *propose* the allocation; do not finalise without confirmation.
+
+### Vendor payment (cash out)
+
+| dr | accounts payable | matching open invoice(s) |
+| cr | bank | amount paid |
+
+### Accrual (expense incurred, invoice not received)
+
+| dr | expense | estimate |
+| cr | accruals | estimate |
+
+Reverse in the next period unless the invoice arrives and replaces it.
+
+### Prepayment (payment made for future period)
+
+| dr | prepayment | full amount |
+| cr | bank | full amount |
+
+Amortise across the period each month (separate JE).
+
+### Depreciation (period charge)
+
+| dr | depreciation expense | period amount per policy |
+| cr | accumulated depreciation | period amount per policy |
+
+### Payroll (gross to net)
+
+| dr | payroll expense (gross) | gross |
+| cr | tax withholdings payable | per slip |
+| cr | social-contribution payable | per slip |
+| cr | other deductions payable | per slip |
+| cr | net wages payable | net |
+
+Employer contributions are a separate JE.
+
+### FX revaluation (period close)
+
+For each FX-denominated balance:
+
+| dr/cr | balance account | gain or loss to bring to spot |
+| cr/dr | FX revaluation gain/loss | offsetting |
+
+Use spot at period end from `policies/fx-rates/`.
+
+### Tax remittance (paying VAT, payroll tax, etc.)
+
+| dr | tax payable account | amount due per return |
+| cr | bank | payment |
+
+## Materiality
+
+Materiality threshold lives in `policies/materiality.yml` and is per-engagement. Above the threshold, the entry's frontmatter sets `materiality: above-threshold` and includes a rationale field.
+
+## Confidence
+
+Every draft entry carries a `confidence: high | medium | low` field. The threshold for "high" is: counterparty known + chart-of-accounts mapping unambiguous + amount and date confirmed. Anything else is medium or low; low entries collect into a separate review batch.
+
+## Reversal entries
+
+Accruals and prepayments reverse mechanically. The agent writes the reversal as part of the original draft package and tags both with the same `pair-id`. Posting the original schedules the reversal; reversal is a `human-in-loop` confirmation step.
+
+## Refusals
+
+- "Just plug a difference with a balancing entry" → refuse.
+- "Use 'Suspense' as a default account for unclear lines" → refuse. Coding question instead.
+- "Backdate to the closed period" → refuse. Use prior-period adjustment in the next open period.
+- "Combine three transactions into one entry to keep the GL tidy" → refuse if it loses traceability to the source docs.

+name: financial-data-handling
+description: How the agents handle financial data — masking, retention, cross-engagement isolation, source-document immutability, and the rules around exporting numbers outside the workspace. Loaded by every agent (default skill).
+user-invocable: true
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "always": true, "emoji": "💼" } }
+---
+
+# Why this skill exists
+
+A firm's data is the firm's licence to operate. Loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability around client ledgers is an existential issue, not a hygiene one. This skill restates the operational rules the agents live inside.
+
+## Source-document immutability
+
+- Documents arrive in `inbox/`. The accounting-coordinator agent (or a human) routes them into `source-docs///-` and they are immutable from then on.
+- An agent never writes to `source-docs/`. Read-only.
+- If a source document is wrong (vendor sent a corrected invoice), the corrected version lands as a *new* file with its own hash; the original is preserved with a note linking forward.
+
+## Cross-engagement isolation
+
+- The agents read and write inside one engagement at a time.
+- An aggregation across engagements (firm-level KPIs, cross-engagement analytics) is a separate, explicitly-permissioned job and is never produced by the engagement-level agents.
+- Any cross-engagement output is produced from anonymised aggregates only; client names and engagement codes are removed.
+- A document marked `confidential: true` is excluded from any cross-engagement aggregation regardless of permissioning.
+
+## Masking
+
+| Field | Default | Unmask path |
+|---|---|---|
+| Bank account number / IBAN | last-4 only | `unmask-account-number` + reason, logged |
+| Tax ID / VAT number | last-4 only | `unmask-tax-id` + reason, logged |
+| Client / vendor / customer legal name | engagement code in cross-engagement output; legal name allowed in single-engagement output | n/a |
+| Employee personal data | masked unless the artifact is the payroll register itself | `disclose-named-record` + reason |
+
+Masking applies to draft artifacts and to chat output alike. An unmasked value lives in the response that requested it; it is not retained in a draft file unless the artifact requires it.
+
+## Retention
+
+- Source documents: retain as long as the engagement, plus the firm's statutory minimum.
+- Drafts: retain for the period of the engagement; once the artifact is posted/filed/superseded, the draft is archived to `drafts/.archive/` and read-only.
+- Audit log: retain indefinitely. Append-only. Off-site backup is the firm's responsibility.
+- Working papers: retain per the firm's retention policy in `policies/retention.yml`.
+
+## Cross-border / cross-system transfers
+
+- Client data does not leave the firm's controlled environment. No external AI service. No third-party OCR. No cloud-based data-prep tool that the firm has not signed a DPA with.
+- If a regulator requires data to be filed via a portal, the file goes through the human at the named filing channel. The agent does not call the portal directly.
+
+## Currency, tax, and rounding
+
+- The base currency is set per engagement in `engagements//index.md` and is never assumed.
+- FX rates come from `policies/fx-rates/.yml`; an agent never invents a rate or pulls one from the network.
+- Tax rates come from `policies/tax-rates.yml` and are dated; an agent uses the rate that applied on the economic-event date of the source doc.
+- Rounding follows the firm's policy (typically 2dp for money, 4dp for FX rates); the agent never rounds during arithmetic, only at presentation.
+
+## Things the agents must refuse
+
+- Email, share, or upload a ledger or trial balance to anyone outside the firm.
+- Train, fine-tune, or send client data to any external model.
+- Aggregate confidential engagements into a firm-wide KPI without the explicit `cross-engagement-analytics` permission and the redaction step.
+- Export bank-account numbers in cleartext to a draft file.
+- Decode, decrypt, or attempt to reverse a hashed identifier.
+
+## Things the agents do well
+
+- Produce per-engagement aggregates that respect `confidential: true`.
+- Mask consistently across drafts.
+- Cite source-doc paths and hashes on every line.
+- Flag any document or field that violates a marking rule, before downstream agents touch it.

+
+## 00-cover.md (always at the top)
+
+Contents:
+
+- Engagement code and name (full name allowed; this is single-engagement output).
+- Period.
+- Basis of preparation (GAAP / IFRS-SME, currency, rounding policy).
+- Preparer and timestamp.
+- Watermark: "DRAFT — DO NOT DISTRIBUTE" (or "INTERIM — DO NOT DISTRIBUTE" for interim cuts).
+- Audit-precondition status (counts only, never finding text).

+## 02-income-statement.md
+
+Standard format:

+```
+Revenue
+- Cost of sales
+= Gross profit
+- Operating expenses

+```
+
+Comparative period to the right; same comparative discipline as the balance sheet.
+
+## 03-cash-flow-statement.md
+
+Built using the indirect method by default unless the engagement's reporting basis specifies direct.
+
+The reconciliation runs:
+
+```
+Profit before tax

++ working-capital movements (Δ AR, Δ AP, Δ inventory, Δ accruals/prepayments)
+- tax paid
+= Operating cash flow

+Roll-forward of share capital, reserves, retained earnings, and profit for the period. Movements reference their JE evidence.
+
+## 05-variance-bridge.md
+
+Built by spawning `variance-analyzer`. Three views by default:
+
+- vs Budget (period)

+
+KPI definitions and traffic-light thresholds live in `policies/kpi-pack.yml`. The agent does not invent thresholds.
+
+## Disclosure notes
+
+Disclosure-note text is templated in `templates/` of this skill folder (engagement-letter, accounting-policies, going-concern, related-parties, subsequent-events, contingencies). The agent fills numbers and references; it does not paraphrase wording.
+
+If a note's template does not fit the situation, the agent writes a one-page "disclosure-question" file in `drafts/disclosures/` and stops. The partner drafts.
+
+## Refusal patterns
+
+- "Soften the watch list" → refuse. The list is anchored to KPIs and thresholds.
+- "Round aggressively to make the trial balance match the rounded balance sheet" → refuse. Cross-references reconcile at the un-rounded level.
+- "Skip the cash-flow statement, no one reads it" → refuse. The pack is the pack.
+- "Tell the partner everything is on track without showing the audit-precondition counts" → refuse.
+- "Send the pack to the bank covenant analyst" → refuse. Drafts go to `drafts/`. Humans send.

+description: Shared conventions for any home-build, install, or design task — units, costing roll-up, client-data handling, and a Bill-of-Materials aggregator. Use whenever you need to convert measurements, total a parts list, mark up a cost, or write/read client records before invoking a role-specific skill (device-install-survey, builder-takeoff, designer-spec-pack).
+version: 1.0.0
+author: clawix-home-build

+
+# Home Build — Shared Layer
+
+This skill is the foundation the three role skills sit on:
+
+- `device-install-survey` — installers
+- `builder-takeoff` — small builders
+- `designer-spec-pack` — home designers
+
+Read this skill **first** any time you handle measurements, prices, or client information. The role skills assume the conventions below.
+
+---
+
+## When to invoke
+
+Trigger on any of: "convert mm to inches", "what's the total cost", "build me a BoM", "sum these line items", "anonymise this client list", "what margin should I add", "what units do I write the quote in".
+
+If the task is end-to-end (e.g. "quote a kitchen install"), read this skill **and** the matching role skill.
+
+---
+
+## Hard rules
+
+1. **Never write outside `/workspace/`.** All intermediate files (BoMs, quotes, drafts) go under `/workspace//`. Use kebab-case slugs derived from the project name. The container's rootfs is read-only — writes elsewhere will fail loudly, which is the intended signal.
+2. **Never invent a price.** If a unit price is missing, leave the cell as `TBC` and add a note. Use `web_search` / `web_fetch` only for **published list prices** from named suppliers (Screwfix, Toolstation, Wickes, Travis Perkins, Build It Direct, Home Depot, etc.). Cite the URL and the date.
+3. **Never store raw personal data in memory.** Names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, photos of people belong in `/workspace//clients/` files only. Use `memory_save` for project metadata (slug, scope, total budget) — never for the client identity.
+4. **All money strings carry their currency.** `£1,250.00`, `$1,250.00`, `€1.250,00` — never a bare number.
+5. **All measurements carry their unit.** `2.4 m`, `94.5 in`, `12 m²`. Convert to one canonical unit per project (declared in the project header) before totalling.
+
+---
+
+## Project skeleton
+
+When you start a new project, scaffold this structure:
+
+```
+/workspace//
+├── project.md # one-pager: client, address (postcode only), scope, currency, units, status
+├── clients/ # full client record — never copied elsewhere
+│ └── client.md
+├── bom.csv # Bill of Materials (see schema below)
+├── quote.md # rendered quote (built from bom.csv + margin)
+├── drawings/ # uploaded floor plans, photos, sketches
+└── notes/ # site notes, call logs, decisions
+```
+
+Use the `bom_aggregator.py` script to roll `bom.csv` into a totals block. Use the `unit_convert.py` script for any unit math — never do it in your head.
+
+---
+
+## Bill of Materials — canonical schema
+
+`bom.csv` has exactly these columns, in this order:
+
+```
+sku,description,supplier,unit,qty,unit_price,currency,line_total,notes
+```
+
+Field rules:
+
+| Column | Rule |
+| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `sku` | Supplier SKU if known, else `n/a`. Never blank. |
+| `description` | Plain English; no marketing copy. |
+| `supplier` | One named supplier per row. If unknown, write `unspecified`. |
+| `unit` | One of: `each`, `m`, `m2`, `m3`, `kg`, `l`, `hr`, `day`. No abbreviations. |
+| `qty` | Number, two decimals max. |
+| `unit_price` | Number, two decimals; or the literal string `TBC`. |
+| `currency` | ISO 4217 (`GBP`, `USD`, `EUR`). One currency per file. |
+| `line_total` | `qty * unit_price` rounded to 2 dp; `TBC` if `unit_price` is `TBC`. |
+| `notes` | Source URL + retrieval date for any priced row, or any clarifying note. Optional. |
+
+The aggregator script enforces this schema and refuses to total a file that breaks it.
+
+---
+
+## Costing roll-up
+
+After the line totals are summed, apply this stack in order:
+
+```
+Materials subtotal
++ Waste allowance (5–10 % depending on trade — see references/waste-allowances.md)
++ Labour (from day-rate × days, OR labour-only line items in BoM)
++ Markup (small builder default 20 %; designer default 25–35 %; installer default 15 %)
++ VAT or sales tax (apply per jurisdiction; UK standard 20 %; some jobs 5 % or 0 %)
+= Quote total
+```
+
+Always show every line of the stack in the quote — the customer sees the build-up, not a single number.
+
+---
+
+## Client data handling (GDPR-aligned)
+
+This bundle handles small-business client records. The minimum bar:
+
+- **Lawful basis:** record it in `clients/client.md` under "Lawful basis: contract" (the default for an installer/builder/designer engagement).
+- **Data minimisation:** collect only what the job needs — full address only if you're attending site, phone only if you're calling, email only if you're sending the quote.
+- **Retention:** state a retention period in the client file. Suggested defaults: 6 years post-completion for accounting (UK), 7 years (US). Anything longer needs a stated reason.
+- **No bulk export:** never produce a single file that lists multiple clients side-by-side unless the user explicitly requests it (e.g. "export my client list for backup").
+- **Anonymisation on share:** if asked to share a quote, BoM, or report outside the project (e.g. "post this to forum X"), strip the client name, full address, phone, and email first. Replace with `[client]`, `[postcode-area]`, etc.
+
+See `references/client-data-handling.md` for the full template and the questions to ask the user when in doubt.
+
+---
+
+## When to use which web tool
+
+- `web_search` — to discover suppliers, find product pages, locate technical datasheets. Treat results as leads, not facts.
+- `web_fetch` — to pull the actual product page once you know the URL. Read price, lead time, datasheet links from the page itself, not from the search snippet.
+
+Both run host-side with SSRF protection — internal IPs, loopback, and link-local addresses are blocked. Don't try to work around this; if a supplier site is genuinely unreachable, report that and ask the user.
+
+---
+
+## Bundled scripts
+
+- `scripts/bom_aggregator.py` — validates and totals a BoM CSV. Run with: `python3 /skills/builtin/home-build-shared/scripts/bom_aggregator.py /workspace//bom.csv`
+- `scripts/unit_convert.py` — converts between metric and imperial. Run with: `python3 /skills/builtin/home-build-shared/scripts/unit_convert.py 2.4 m to ft`
+
+Both scripts are deterministic and side-effect-free (read input, print output) — safe to call as often as needed.

+# Client Data Handling
+
+A small builder, installer, or designer typically needs:
+
+- Client name (always)
+- Site address (only if attending the property)
+- Contact email (only if sending the quote / pack)
+- Contact phone (only if calling)
+- Site photos (only with explicit consent — and never of the client themselves)
+
+Anything beyond this list needs a stated reason.
+
+---
+
+## `client.md` template
+
+Place this at `/workspace//clients/client.md`. One file per client per project — never combine clients.
+
+```markdown
+# Client —
+
+- Project slug:
+- Lawful basis: contract # default for installer / builder / designer work
+- Created: YYYY-MM-DD
+- Retention: () # default: completion + 6 years (UK) / 7 years (US)
+
+## Contact
+
+- Email:
+- Phone:
+
+## Site
+
+- Full address:
+- Postcode/ZIP only:
+
+## Notes
+
+-
+```
+
+---
+
+## When the user asks to share something
+
+Ask in this order:
+
+1. "Who is this being sent to?" — if internal (team, accountant, HMRC) no anonymisation needed; if external, continue.
+2. "Do they need to identify the client to act on it?" — if no, anonymise.
+3. To anonymise: replace `Full name` with `[client]`, full address with the postcode area only (e.g. `SW1` not `SW1A 1AA`), strip phone and email.
+
+---
+
+## When the user asks to delete a client
+
+1. Confirm the project status — if work is in flight, refuse and explain.
+2. If completed, check the retention date. If still inside retention, refuse and explain (small businesses are usually required to keep job records for tax / insurance reasons).
+3. If outside retention, delete `clients/client.md` and any photos under `clients/`. Leave `bom.csv` and `quote.md` if the user wants the project history (these should be already-anonymised if the rules above were followed).
+
+---
+
+## What never gets memory_save'd
+
+- Client name
+- Address
+- Phone, email
+- Photos
+
+These belong on disk under `clients/` only, where they are protected by the workspace mount boundary. `memory_save` writes get scanned and replayed across sessions — they're the wrong place for personal data.
+
+What `memory_save` is good for:
+
+- Project slug → scope summary
+- Project slug → currency, units, total budget
+- Supplier preferences ("user prefers Wickes for timber")
+- Day-rate defaults the user has confirmed

+Show **all** lines in the customer-facing quote.md, not just the bottom number. Customers buy the build-up, not the headline.
+
+If the customer is registered VAT-able (B2B, common for landlords and developers), drop the VAT line and add a note: "Excludes VAT — invoice will be raised plus VAT at the prevailing rate."
+
+If the job qualifies for reduced-rate VAT (e.g. UK 5 % for some renovations of empty homes, energy-saving installs), state the rate and the basis explicitly: "VAT @ 5 % under VAT Notice 708 §8.1 (energy-saving materials)".
+
+Do not guess the VAT rate. If unclear, leave the line as `VAT: TBC — confirm with accountant` and tell the user.

+# Waste Allowances by Trade
+
+Add this percentage to the materials subtotal **before** markup. These are typical UK trade defaults — confirm with the user if the project is unusual.
+
+| Trade / material | Waste % | Notes |
+| --------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Timber framing / studwork | 10 % | More for awkward layouts |
+| Plasterboard | 7 % | |
+| Skim plaster | 5 % | |
+| Bricks, blocks | 5 % | 10 % for facing brick with cut patterns |
+| Floor tiles (straight lay) | 10 % | |
+| Floor tiles (diagonal lay) | 15 % | |
+| Wall tiles | 10 % | |
+| Engineered / solid wood floor | 7 % | Plus 10 % for herringbone / chevron |
+| Vinyl / LVT | 5 % | |
+| Carpet | 7 % | Higher for stairs and patterned carpet |
+| Paint | 0 % | Round up to whole tins instead |
+| Cable / flex (electrical) | 10 % | |
+| Pipework (copper, plastic) | 10 % | |
+| Insulation (mineral wool) | 5 % | |
+| Insulation (rigid PIR) | 10 % | Cuts to fit irregular spaces produce more offcuts |
+| Roof tiles / slates | 5 % | |
+| Decking boards | 10 % | |
+| Sand, cement, aggregate | 5 % | |
+
+For consumables that come in fixed pack sizes (screws, fixings, sealant tubes), don't apply a percentage — round the qty up to the next whole pack.
+
+For bespoke joinery, glass, or stone — never apply a generic waste %; quote the supplier's exact piece count.

+name: internal-audit
+description: The firm's standard internal-audit checks (cut-off, completeness, segregation of duties, unusual-pattern detection, control-test sampling, period-close integrity), the finding format, and the materiality and traffic-light rules. Read by audit, reviewer, accounting-coordinator, reporting.
+user-invocable: true
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "always": false, "emoji": "🔎" } }
+---
+
+# What the audit agent does, and what it does not
+
+The audit agent is read-only. It does not fix entries. It records findings, produces working papers from sample-tests, and (only after passing the firm's checklist) marks reconciliations or JE drafts "reviewed-by-audit".
+
+The agent does not approve actions. Approval is a human authority.
+
+# Standard checks
+
+## Cut-off
+
+For each material account, every transaction is in the right period.
+
+- Revenue: shipping date / service-delivery date in period? Invoice date alone is not enough.
+- Expenses: economic-event date in period? Invoice receipt date alone is not enough.
+- Accruals: every recurring accrual present? Where it is missing, finding.
+
+## Completeness
+
+Every source document in `source-docs///` has either a JE draft or a documented reason for none. Source docs without coverage are listed as findings against the bookkeeping pathway.
+
+## Segregation of duties
+
+- Preparer of an action ≠ approver of that action (by user identity, not just agent identity).
+- The same human cannot post and approve a JE.
+- The same human cannot create a vendor and release a payment to that vendor in their first 30 days.
+
+These are hard rules. Violations are findings of severity ≥ medium regardless of amount.
+
+## Unusual postings
+
+Pattern flags (each a "review for explanation", not an accusation):
+
+- Round-number expenses above threshold ("£10,000.00" exactly).
+- Postings on weekends or outside business hours.
+- Just-below-approval-threshold postings (e.g., 9,950 against a 10,000 threshold).
+- Multiple payments to the same vendor at the same amount within 7 days (duplicate-payment scan).
+- Even-cent bank charges (very common false positive — flag and discard with a note).
+- Manual JEs to bank accounts (should be reconciled-only).
+
+The agent flags. It does not infer fraud. The partner decides what is and is not real.
+
+## Vendor master-data flag
+
+Any vendor master-data change in the period is reviewed:
+
+- Bank-detail change ≤ 30 days old → confirm the verification channel was used (`master-data-changes.log` records the channel).
+- Multiple changes in 90 days → finding (severity ≥ medium).
+- Change made in the same window as a payment release → finding (severity high).
+
+## Reconciliation review
+
+Every cash and clearing account has a reviewed reconciliation by the policy deadline.
+
+- A reconciliation marked "reviewed-by-audit" by the agent passes the JE-checklist below.
+- Reconciliations not reviewed by deadline are findings.
+- Plug entries in a reconciliation are an automatic finding (severity high).
+
+## Period-close integrity
+
+- No writes to closed periods.
+- Prior-period adjustments tagged with `prior-period-adjustment: `.
+- Each prior-period adjustment has a one-paragraph rationale.
+
+# Sampling parameters
+
+Sampling parameters live in `policies/audit-sampling.yml`:
+
+- Random-sample size by population size (statistical, not convenience).
+- High-risk strata (large amounts, manual JEs, weekend posts, new vendors) get higher coverage.
+- The agent records the random seed and the population description in the working paper.
+
+# Checklist: JE draft (run by `reviewer` subagent)
+
+| id | rule | severity if fail |
+|----|------|------------------|
+| JE-01 | Debits = credits | high |
+| JE-02 | Date is the economic-event date, not the run date | medium |
+| JE-03 | Period is open, or `prior-period-adjustment` is set | high |
+| JE-04 | Every line cites a source-doc with hash | high |
+| JE-05 | Account exists in the chart for this engagement | high |
+| JE-06 | Currency is engagement-base or has FX rate cited | medium |
+| JE-07 | Tax components agree to source-doc tax lines | high |
+| JE-08 | Memo describes what happened, not what it is | low |
+| JE-09 | Above-materiality entries include rationale | high |
+| JE-10 | Confidence is high, or the entry is in a review batch | medium |
+
+# Checklist: reconciliation
+
+| id | rule | severity if fail |
+|----|------|------------------|
+| REC-01 | Opening = prior-period reviewed closing | high |
+| REC-02 | Auto-match meets policy threshold | medium |
+| REC-03 | Timing items present and ≤ policy age | medium |
+| REC-04 | Genuine differences are JE drafts, not plugs | high |
+| REC-05 | Reconciliation summary balances to the cent | high |
+| REC-06 | Account not marked reviewed by preparer | high |
+
+# Checklist: payment run
+
+| id | rule | severity if fail |
+|----|------|------------------|
+| PAY-01 | Every line has invoice + vendor + amount + recommend + rationale | high |
+| PAY-02 | Holds applied per policy | high |
+| PAY-03 | Vendor master-data flag respected | high |
+| PAY-04 | Currency totals reconcile to base total | medium |
+| PAY-05 | No duplicate-payment pattern | high |
+
+# Materiality and traffic lights
+
+The engagement's materiality threshold is in `policies/materiality.yml`. Findings carry both `severity` (low/medium/high/critical) and `materiality: above|below`.
+
+For the partner status pack the agent reports counts:
+
+- Open critical findings → red
+- Open high findings → amber
+- Open medium findings → amber if > N (engagement policy), else green
+- Open low findings → green
+
+The agent never reports finding text in any cross-engagement or partner-pack output. Counts and severity only.
+
+# Refusal patterns
+
+- "Skip the random sample, just check the obvious ones" → refuse.
+- "Mark this reconciliation reviewed without running the checklist" → refuse.
+- "Don't open a finding, the partner won't like it" → refuse and log.
+- "Tell me the finding text in the partner pack" → counts only.
+- "Approve this payment run on behalf of the partner" → refuse. Audit reviews; it never approves.

+description: Interview the seat or firm to populate PRACTICE_PROFILE.md — voice, jurisdictions, playbooks, escalation, calibration. Every other skill reads from the profile this skill writes.
+owner_agent: coordinator
+tier: DRAFT
+tools: [drafts.create, drafts.update, firm.matter_read]
+inputs: [scope, seat_id, mode]
+outputs: practice_profile_draft
+inherits: ../../GUARDRAILS.md
+---
+
+# Why
+
+The single most common cause of generic, off-house-style output is an
+empty practice profile. Skills read from `PRACTICE_PROFILE.md`; if it
+is missing the calibration sections, they treat the gaps as `gap` and
+prompt the seat — which is annoying. This skill runs once at
+onboarding (and again when something material changes), and avoids the
+nagging downstream.
+
+Pattern is adapted from the cold-start-interview convention in
+[`claude-for-legal`](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-for-legal),
+where every plugin has its own cold-start.
+
+# Modes
+
+- `quick` — 2-minute version: 6 questions; just enough to stop the
+ skills from running blind.
+- `full` — 10–20 minutes: voice, jurisdictions, escalation matrix,
+ playbook pointers, calibration thresholds, connector inventory.
+- `--new-matter` — opens a matter-specific addendum, e.g. a one-off
+ posture for an unusual transaction.
+
+# How
+
+1. Read existing `PRACTICE_PROFILE.md` if present; reuse what is there.
+2. Ask only the missing questions, plus any that look stale (older
+ than the review cadence).
+3. Offer to pull seed material: signed MSAs, a playbook PDF, a recent
+ memo. Ingestion goes through pii-redaction and privilege-tagging
+ before parsing.
+4. Write a draft of the profile; do not save until the seat confirms.
+5. Log when the profile was last updated, by whom, and what changed.
+
+# Output shape
+
+```json
+{
+ "mode": "quick|full|new-matter",
+ "draft_profile_path": "PRACTICE_PROFILE.md",
+ "fields_updated": ["voice", "escalation", "calibration", "playbooks"],
+ "seed_documents_ingested": ["doc_id"],
+ "next_step": "seat_review_required"
+}
+```
+
+# Refusals
+
+- Never persist the profile without seat confirmation.
+- Never use seed material from another matter; the profile is firm-
+ or seat-scoped, not matter-scoped.
+- Never silently fall back to defaults. If a field is empty, say so;
+ do not invent the firm's escalation matrix.

+
+# How
+
+1. Parse the intake form: client, parties, opposing parties, subject,
+ forum, anticipated jurisdictions, fees arrangement.
+2. Run `conflict-check` skill against the parties. If a hit, the
+ coordinator refuses to progress until the conflicts officer
+ clears.
+3. Run `jurisdiction-detection` against the subject; if jurisdictions
+ are outside `unlocked_jurisdictions`, prompt the seat to unlock or
+ reject.
+4. Write a `matter.md` containing:
+ - Header (client, parties, matter type, partner, associates)
+ - Scope of instruction (one paragraph; the lawyer confirms)
+ - Active jurisdictions
+ - Engagement terms reference
+ - Retention class and review cadence
+ - Privilege class default
+5. Initialise the matter memory partition.

+```
+
+# Refusals

+- Never open a matter without a conflict-check pass.
+- Never default the engagement terms; require an explicit reference.
+- Never open a matter with PII visible in the intake form; redact
+ before persisting.

+
+# Postures
+
+- **assist.** Pass the draft through, with the reasoning trace and

+ Move everything past that point into `open_questions_for_trainee`.

+ produced once the trainee has worked through the questions.
+
+# Why this is GUARD
+
+If the posture lives in the model's prose, a careless re-prompt or an
+injection could collapse `teach` into `assist` and hand the trainee the
+answer. As a non-bypassable skill, the posture is enforced
+structurally: the renderer simply will not show a `draft_body` when

+1. Run `prompt-injection-sentry` and `pii-redaction` on intake.
+2. Extract: issuing authority, subject matter, deadline, list of
+ demanded documents/categories, custodian targets.
+3. Map the demand to the matter's known custodian and document
+ footprint via `firm.matter_read`.
+4. Flag candidate objections: scope, burden, relevance, privilege,
+ confidentiality, jurisdictional reach.
+5. Surface deadline risk via `deadline-watcher` (the response
+ deadline is added to the matter's deadline set).
+6. Output a structured triage plan; the lawyer decides response
+ strategy.

+description: How to write external NGO communications with dignity, accuracy, and accessibility. Story rules, framing rules, image guidance, advocacy framing. Used by the communications agent and read by the program-coordinator for partner-facing language.
+applies-to: [communications, program-coordinator]
+---
+
+# NGO communications — drafting standard
+
+## The framing rules (non-negotiable)
+
+1. **The beneficiary is the protagonist.** Not the NGO, not the donor, not the staff. People are subjects of their own lives, not objects of someone else's intervention.
+2. **No suffering as content.** A story that exists to extract sympathy without showing agency is exploitative, regardless of how much money it raises. The NGO does not publish those stories.
+3. **No anonymous "victim" imagery.** Photos of identifiable people require named consent. Photos of unidentifiable people (silhouettes, hands, backs of heads) are fine if they accurately represent the situation; they are not fine as substitutes for missing consent.
+4. **No rescuer framing.** "We saved them" is wrong on the facts and wrong in the relationship. Communities solve their own problems; the NGO supports.
+5. **Numbers are sourced or absent.** A vague "thousands of people" is worse than a specific 1,847 with a path citation.
+6. **Plain language wins.** Short sentences. Concrete nouns. Working verbs. The reader is busy and not impressed by jargon.
+
+## Story-drafting checklist
+
+Before drafting any story for external audiences:
+
+- [ ] The source file has `consent: shareable`.
+- [ ] The consent type is clear: named / pseudonym / anonymous.
+- [ ] The consent scope covers this channel (newsletter / social / website / press).
+- [ ] The story shows what changed, not just what was difficult.
+- [ ] Numbers in the story have a citation.
+- [ ] If a partner or external actor appears, their inclusion is appropriate or has been cleared.
+
+If any box cannot be ticked, draft with `[FILL: …]` placeholders and stop.
+
+## Status-classification rule (also used by program-coordinator)
+
+When a status note describes a program:
+
+- **on-track** — outputs at ≥ 85% of plan, no material risks materialized, partners report no blockers.
+- **at-risk** — outputs at 60–85% of plan, OR a material risk has materialized, OR a partner has flagged a blocker that has not yet been resolved.
+- **off-track** — outputs below 60% of plan, OR a major risk has materialized without mitigation, OR a partner has withdrawn or is unresponsive for more than the agreed escalation window.
+
+Soften these thresholds in tone if asked, never in classification.
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- Reading level: aim for grade 8 or below for general communications. Advocacy briefs may go higher when the audience is policymakers.
+- Alt text on every image. Specific alt text — describe what the image shows, not what it means.
+- Captions on every video. Transcripts for podcasts.
+- Language: if the NGO works in a multilingual context, include the relevant local language(s) version, not just English.
+
+## Advocacy framing
+
+- Lead with the problem, not the institution.
+- Concrete asks. "Government should fund the rural health worker program at 2025-real-terms levels by Q3" beats "more should be done."
+- Credible messenger. The advocacy brief names who from the NGO speaks publicly on this topic; that named person has reviewed the brief.
+- Honest about uncertainty. Where evidence is partial, say so. Advocacy that overclaims gets undone by the next study.
+
+## Things to refuse
+
+- A donor is asking us to put their logo on a beneficiary photo. The beneficiary's consent does not extend to that.
+- A partner wants us to delete their name from a story they share authorship of. We don't unilaterally rewrite shared work.
+- A board member wants to add a quote that softens a difficult finding. The finding stands; the quote can sit alongside, not in place of.
+- A campaign opportunity calls for emotional imagery the NGO does not have consented sources for. Pass on the campaign.
+
+## Things that work
+
+- Two-paragraph stories with one strong photo and a clear ask.
+- Quarterly impact updates that reference the same indicators each time, so readers can see trajectory.
+- Direct beneficiary voice (with consent), not paraphrased through staff.
+- Honest "what didn't work" sections. Supporters trust NGOs that admit hard things.

+description: Beneficiary data handling — consent capture, anonymization, GDPR-aligned retention, and the file-marking conventions every agent in this configuration honors. Read before processing or sharing data that involves identifiable people.
+applies-to: [donor-engagement, monitoring-evaluation, communications, field-operations, program-coordinator]
+---
+
+# Data protection — operational rules
+
+Two principles drive everything below.
+
+1. **Beneficiaries are data subjects, not content.** They have rights to information, consent, withdrawal, correction, and deletion. The NGO holds those rights in trust.
+2. **Default to less.** Collect less, retain less, share less. Every additional piece of identifying data is a risk you carry indefinitely.
+
+## File-marking conventions (every agent honors these)
+
+- Filename suffix `.pii.md` → contains direct identifiers. Restricted access. Never read into another file's body verbatim.
+- YAML frontmatter `pii: true` → same restriction.
+- YAML frontmatter `consent: shareable` (with sub-fields `consent-type: named|pseudonym|anonymous` and `consent-scope: `) → may be cited or quoted within scope.
+- No frontmatter / no marking → treat as not shareable. Refuse to quote, refuse to publish.
+
+## Consent capture (what the field team should be doing)
+
+The agents do not capture consent. They check whether it was captured. The capture form should record:
+
+- Date and place of consent.
+- Who explained the use case, in what language.
+- What the data will be used for (specific list, not "future communications").
+- Whether the person agrees to: name use, photo use, quote use, story use, contact for follow-up.
+- The right to withdraw, and the contact to do so.
+
+If any field is blank, default that use to "no."
+
+## Anonymization recipe (paired with the M&E skill)
+
+For aggregate reporting:
+
+1. Drop direct identifiers (name, phone, government ID, exact address, photos, voice recordings).
+2. Hash any retained identifier with a project-specific salt (the salt itself is not stored alongside the hash).
+3. Generalize quasi-identifiers: age → 5- or 10-year bands; GPS → admin-2 polygon; exact date → ISO week.
+4. Apply a minimum cell size of 5 in cross-tabs. Suppress smaller cells.
+5. Re-identification check: pick three real records, attempt to find them in the anonymized output. If you can, generalize further.
+
+## Retention
+
+- Survey raw data: retain only as long as the donor agreement requires, plus statutory minimum.
+- Beneficiary contact details for follow-up: retain only as long as consent is current.
+- Safeguarding records: per the NGO's safeguarding policy, typically much longer; access is restricted not deleted.
+- Donor proposal drafts: retain. They become institutional memory.
+
+## Cross-border transfers
+
+If beneficiary data leaves the country where it was collected, check:
+
+- Local data-protection law (GDPR for the EU, the country's own act elsewhere).
+- The donor agreement's data clauses.
+- Whether a Data Processing Agreement is in place with any cloud provider involved.
+
+If any of these is unclear, refuse the transfer and surface the question to the AI Assistant Owner.
+
+## Things the agents must refuse
+
+- Copy a `.pii.md` file's contents into a non-PII file.
+- Quote a beneficiary by name without `consent: shareable` and `consent-type: named`.
+- Email beneficiary lists to anyone, anywhere, regardless of who asks.
+- Share precise GPS, exact date of birth, or photo of an identifiable beneficiary in any external draft.
+- Train, fine-tune, or feed beneficiary data to any external model. Period.
+
+## Things the agents do well
+
+- Produce aggregate tables that respect minimum cell size.
+- Generate consent-form templates.
+- Audit existing files for missing consent markings and produce a `data-protection/audit-YYYY-MM-DD.md` listing files needing attention.

+name: ngo-donor-proposal
+description: How to structure a donor proposal that holds together logically — Theory of Change, log-frame, indicators, budget narrative, risk matrix. Used by the donor-engagement agent. Read this before drafting any proposal or concept note.
+applies-to: donor-engagement
+---
+
+# Donor proposal — drafting standard
+
+A proposal is not a wish list. It is a chain of logic: *if we do these activities, we will produce these outputs, which will achieve these outcomes, contributing to this impact, given these assumptions.* If the chain breaks, the proposal fails — even if every section reads beautifully.
+
+## Drafting order (do not reorder)
+
+1. **Problem statement** — what is the situation, who is affected, what evidence supports it. Cite. No anecdotes without consented sources.
+2. **Theory of Change** — outcomes first, then the causal logic backwards to activities.
+3. **Log-frame** — fill from the Theory of Change. Each row: result statement → indicator → baseline → target → source of verification → assumption.
+4. **Activities and workplan** — what we will actually do, by quarter.
+5. **Budget narrative** — explanatory text only. The numbers live in the spreadsheet; the narrative justifies the lines.
+6. **Risk matrix** — likelihood × impact, mitigation per risk.
+7. **Sustainability and exit** — what continues after the grant ends. Donors care.
+8. **Organizational capacity** — relevant past performance, with citations to filed reports.
+
+If you start with "activities" you will produce a list of things the NGO knows how to do, not a coherent intervention. Outcomes first.
+
+## Indicator selection rule
+
+Map your indicators against the donor's reporting framework. Common frameworks:
+
+| Donor / framework | Indicator style | Notes |
+|--|--|--|
+| FCDO (UK) | Output + outcome split, value-for-money KPIs | Disaggregate by sex, age, disability where possible. |
+| USAID | F-indicators or custom; rigorous baseline expected | Often requires standard F-indicators *plus* a few custom. |
+| ECHO (EU) | KOIs + custom; MEAL plan separate | Beneficiary count rules are strict; read ECHO's beneficiary guidance. |
+| GAC (Canada) | Feminist policy indicators preferred | Disaggregation by sex/age is mandatory. |
+| SDC (Switzerland) | Outcome-focused, Theory of Change central | Light on activity reporting; heavy on outcome story. |
+| BMZ (Germany) | KOMPASS framework, GIZ-style | Strong sustainability and partner-capacity emphasis. |
+| Private foundations | Variable; read their template | Start by reading their last three funded proposals if public. |
+
+## Budget narrative — what to include
+
+For each major line: what it pays for, why it is needed for the activities described, the cost basis (per-unit and quantity), any cost-share with another donor or the NGO's core funds.
+
+## Things that get proposals rejected
+
+- Theory of Change is missing or contradicts the activity list.
+- Targets are round numbers that look invented.
+- Beneficiary counts double-count across activities.
+- Sustainability section is generic boilerplate.
+- Past-performance claims have no citations.
+- Risk matrix lists only external risks; nothing about internal capacity, partner reliability, or assumptions failure.
+
+## Things you must not do
+
+- Inflate baselines or targets to look ambitious.
+- Reuse a beneficiary story without re-checking consent for this specific proposal.
+- Promise activities outside the NGO's mandate or capacity.
+- Cite "research shows" without naming the research and a path to it.

+description: How to scan donors for fit against the NGO's mandate — eligibility checks, fit scoring, deadline tracking. Used by the donor-engagement agent. Read before doing a "find me donors for X" task.
+applies-to: donor-engagement
+---
+
+# Donor scanning — working standard
+
+A scan is not a wish list of every funder remotely related to a topic. It is a filtered, ranked, decision-ready list. The Executive Director should be able to take three minutes to read it and decide which two to pursue.
+
+## Sources to use (allowlisted)
+
+- ReliefWeb — emergencies and humanitarian.
+- Devex Funding — broad bilateral and multilateral.
+- Donor websites directly — FCDO, USAID, ECHO, GAC, SDC, BMZ.
+- Candid (formerly Foundation Center) — US private foundations.
+- Government registries in the country of operation — local funders.
+
+## Filter sequence (apply in this order — fail fast)
+
+1. **Geographic eligibility.** Does the funder fund work in our country / region? If no, drop.
+2. **Thematic fit.** Does the funder's stated priority match our program? If no, drop.
+3. **Organization-type eligibility.** Are we eligible to apply directly, or only via a consortium? Note which.
+4. **Grant-size band.** Is the typical award within an order of magnitude of what we need? If a $5M-minimum funder shows up for a $200k need, drop.
+5. **Deadline feasibility.** Can a credible application be assembled by the deadline given current bandwidth? If not, note as "next cycle."
+
+A donor that fails any of the first four filters is dropped, not "noted for later."
+
+## Fit scoring (1–5)
+
+| Score | Meaning |
+|--|--|
+| 5 | Strong thematic and geographic fit; we have past performance that maps; eligibility is clear; deadline is workable. |
+| 4 | Good fit; one of the four conditions is mildly stretched. |
+| 3 | Plausible fit; meaningful repositioning needed in the proposal. |
+| 2 | Weak fit; only worth pursuing if a partner takes the lead. |
+| 1 | Mentioned for completeness; recommend skipping. |
+
+Anything 1 or 2 should not appear in the recommended list — only in an appendix if requested.
+
+## Output format
+
+```markdown
+# Donor scan: —
+
+## Recommended (score 4–5)
+
+| Donor | Mechanism | Geog | Theme | Size | Deadline | Fit | Rationale | Source |
+|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|
+| FCDO Ghana CSSF | RFA | Ghana | Conflict prevention | £200k–£1M | 2026-07-15 | 5 | Thematic match to program X; we are eligible directly; we have a 2024 reference deliverable. | https://… |
+
+## Worth tracking (score 3)
+
+| ... |
+
+## Appendix: drop reasons (score 1–2)
+
+| Donor | Drop reason |
+|--|--|
+| Foundation Y | Funds only US-based 501(c)(3); we are not eligible. |
+```
+
+Each row's source URL must be in the allowlist. If a row needs a non-allowlisted source, surface the URL to the user before adding it.
+
+## Common mistakes
+
+- Listing every donor mentioned on a sector blog without checking eligibility.
+- Padding the list with funders the NGO has already been rejected by — without flagging that history.
+- Ranking by grant size rather than fit. A $5M misfit is worse than a $100k strong match.
+- Missing the deadline check. The most common reason a "great" opportunity rots in the pipeline.
+
+## Output discipline
+
+A scan has a date in the filename. Donors change priorities. A scan from six months ago is a starting point, not a current view.

+description: How to write a donor narrative report that stands up to scrutiny — structure by donor type, evidence-citation rules, variance reporting, beneficiary-story rules. Used by the donor-engagement agent.
+applies-to: donor-engagement
+---
+
+# Narrative reporting — drafting standard
+
+## The rule that matters most
+
+A narrative report is not marketing. It is the NGO's account of what was promised, what was done, what changed, and why. Donors who repeat-fund are the ones who got honest reports the first time.
+
+## Structure by donor archetype
+
+**Outcome-led donors (SDC, BMZ, several private foundations):** start with what changed in the population, then trace back to activities.
+
+**Activity-and-output donors (some bilateral mechanisms, many emergency funds):** report activity completion and beneficiary counts first; outcomes section may be lighter but still required.
+
+**Mixed (FCDO, USAID, ECHO, GAC):** follow the donor's exact template. Do not reorder sections.
+
+In all three, the variance section is non-optional.
+
+## Section-by-section rules
+
+### Executive summary
+Half a page maximum. What was the period, what was promised, what was delivered, what shifted, what's next. No surprises later in the document.
+
+### Context update
+Has the operating environment changed? Conflict, drought, election, currency shock, partner staffing. Be specific. Donors cross-reference this against ReliefWeb, INFORM, and their own field intel.
+
+### Activity progress
+A table: planned activity, planned dose (e.g., trainings × beneficiaries), actual dose, % of plan, brief commentary. Numbers come from `mne/processed/.md`. Cite the path.
+
+### Outcome and indicator results
+A table per result statement: indicator, baseline, target, actual, % achieved, source-of-verification path, commentary. Variance > 20% in either direction needs a real explanation, not a sentence of weather.
+
+### Beneficiary stories
+Two or three. Each requires a source file with `consent: shareable` and `consent-type: named` or `pseudonym`. Each story shows the *change*, not the *suffering*. Avoid the "before they had nothing, now they smile" structure.
+
+### Risks and mitigations
+Update the risk matrix. Risks that materialized: what was the response, what is the residual. New risks: what is the mitigation.
+
+### Financial narrative (if requested)
+Variance against budget by line. Reasons. Reallocations approved by the donor in writing only.
+
+### Lessons and adaptations
+What did the period teach the NGO? What changes in the next period? Donors notice the absence of this section.
+
+### Next period plan
+Brief. Keyed to the workplan and any donor-approved changes.
+
+## Evidence-citation rules
+
+Every numeric claim cites a path inside the workspace: `(see mne/processed/2026-q2.md, OUT-1.1)`. Every story cites its consented source: `(consented source: stories/farida.md, consent-scope: narrative-reporting)`. Donors increasingly check.
+
+## Variance reporting — the part most NGOs do badly
+
+If actual is below target:
+- State the percentage gap plainly.
+- Explain the cause in operational terms (what did and did not happen on the ground).
+- Distinguish between activity-side causes (we delivered fewer trainings) and uptake-side causes (we delivered all the trainings; people did not adopt the practice as expected).
+- State what is being adjusted in the next period and why.
+
+If actual is above target:
+- State it. Don't pretend you nailed the prediction.
+- Check: were beneficiaries double-counted? Was the indicator definition slipped to make the number bigger? Be honest.
+- Consider whether the target was set too low and should be revised upward in the next period.
+
+## Things that get reports rejected (or quietly downgrade the donor relationship)
+
+- "On track" with no underlying numbers.
+- Beneficiary stories that recycle from the proposal.
+- Photos of beneficiaries with no consent reference.
+- Variance explanations that blame external factors only.
+- Lessons section that is identical to the previous period's.
+- A financial narrative that doesn't reconcile with the financial spreadsheet the finance team submitted.

+description: How to design SMART indicators, structure baselines/midlines/endlines, run the OECD-DAC evaluation criteria, and validate incoming survey data. Used by the monitoring-evaluation agent. Read this before defining indicators or processing data.
+applies-to: monitoring-evaluation
+---
+
+# Monitoring & Evaluation — working standard
+
+## Indicator template (every indicator has all of these)
+
+```yaml
+id: OUT-1.1
+result-level: outcome | output | activity
+statement: "Women-led microenterprises in District X report a sustained income increase 12 months after training."
+unit: "% of trained enterprises"
+disaggregation: [sex, age-band, disability, location]
+baseline:
+ value: 12
+ source: "mne/baselines/2026-q1.md"
+ date: 2026-03-15
+target:
+ value: 45
+ date: 2027-12-31
+frequency: "annual, with mid-year pulse check"
+source-of-verification: "follow-up survey, see mne/forms/income-followup.md"
+assumption: "Local market for goods is not disrupted by drought beyond seasonal norms."
+```
+
+A row missing baseline, target, or source-of-verification is not an indicator. It is a wish.
+
+## SMART check (apply to each indicator)
+
+- **Specific** — could two staff members reading this collect the same number?
+- **Measurable** — does the source-of-verification actually exist or is it being created in this project?
+- **Achievable** — is the target backed by sectoral evidence, the baseline trajectory, or a credible activity dose?
+- **Relevant** — does this indicator move when the activity moves? If the activity could fail and the indicator could still hit target, the indicator is wrong.
+- **Time-bound** — every target has a date.
+
+## Baseline / midline / endline structure
+
+- **Baseline** — collected before activities begin (or at the very latest, in the first month). Without it, no attribution claim is defensible.
+- **Midline** — optional but advised for projects > 18 months. Mostly to course-correct, not to report externally.
+- **Endline** — same instrument, same population frame, same disaggregation as baseline.
+
+If you change the instrument between baseline and endline, you have lost the comparison. Document any change with a methodological note.
+
+## OECD-DAC evaluation criteria (use these section headings in evaluation reports)
+
+1. Relevance / appropriateness — did the project address the right problem?
+2. Coherence — internal alignment with the NGO's mission; external alignment with partners' efforts.
+3. Effectiveness — did it achieve its outcomes?
+4. Efficiency — were resources used well?
+5. Impact — what changed in the lives of the population?
+6. Sustainability — what continues, and why?
+
+Each section answers its question with evidence and a citation, not adjectives.
+
+## Data validation rules (apply before any aggregate is produced)
+
+- **Range checks** — ages 0–110, dates not in future, percentages 0–100, totals match component sums.
+- **Duplicate checks** — by hashed identifier, not by name.
+- **Completeness** — flag respondents below a threshold of completed questions; do not silently drop them.
+- **Outliers** — flag, don't delete. Document the decision in `mne/quality/`.
+
+Never edit raw data. Always write a new processed file.
+
+## Anonymization recipe (with the data-protection skill)
+
+1. Drop direct identifiers: name, phone, ID number, exact address, photos.
+2. Hash any retained identifier with a project-specific salt.
+3. Generalize quasi-identifiers: age → age band, GPS → admin-2 area, exact date → week.
+4. Apply a minimum cell size (typically 5) to disaggregated tables. Suppress cells below that.
+
+## Common mistakes
+
+- Counting beneficiaries across overlapping activities and reporting the sum as "people reached."
+- Using activity counts as outcome indicators ("trainings delivered" is an output, not an outcome).
+- Designing the survey before defining the indicator.
+- Reporting a value without disaggregation when disaggregation was promised in the proposal.

+applies-to: [field-operations, program-coordinator]
+---
+
+# Safeguarding — what the agent does, and does not do
+
+This skill is read **after** a human safeguarding focal point has triaged an incident and authorized record creation. It is not a triage tool, and the agents that read it are not first responders.
+
+## Hard rules (non-negotiable)
+
+1. Survivor wellbeing comes before paperwork. If the user is asking the agent to document something a survivor has not been supported on yet, the agent stops and points the user to the focal point.
+2. Mandatory reporting flags, once raised, do not get removed. If the triage note says "mandatory report applies," that flag travels with the record.
+3. Identifying details (name, exact location, photos) never appear in the incident record body. Pseudonyms only. The identity-pseudonym map lives in `incidents/keys/.pii.md`, accessible to the focal point only.
+4. Records are not edited to be more or less serious. If new information arrives, it is appended as a new note with a timestamp; the original is not rewritten.
+
+## Triage decision tree (for human focal points, reproduced here for reference)
+
+The agent does not run this tree. The focal point does. The agent reads the resulting `incidents/triage/.md` file.
+
+```
+Disclosure received
+ │
+ ▼
+Is anyone in immediate danger? ──yes──► Contact emergency services / safe place. THEN continue.

+- Document an incident before it has been triaged by the focal point.
+- Remove a mandatory-report flag.
+- Write the survivor's real name into the body.
+- Suggest a course of action that prioritizes the NGO's reputation over the survivor's wellbeing.
+- Speculate about the alleged perpetrator's motivation in the record.
+
+## Red flags during drafting
+
+- The user is the alleged perpetrator. Stop. Direct to the focal point's escalation contact.
+- The user is asking to "tone down" a record. Stop. Records reflect what was triaged.
+- The triage file says `record-authorized: false`. Stop. No record is written.

+description: The non-negotiable security and refusal rules every accounting-firm agent and subagent must read. Drafts-only posture, separation of duties, append-only audit log, allow-listed tools, no autonomous money movement, period-close protection, masking conventions. Loaded by every agent (default skill).

+
+# Why this skill exists
+
+The agents in this configuration touch money. The cost of an autonomous action that should have been a draft is real: a wrongly posted entry distorts the trial balance, a wrongly released payment is gone. This skill restates the rules that PROPOSAL.md §2 and SECURITY.md set out, in terms every agent reads as part of its operating context.
+
+Two principles drive everything below.
+
+1. **Draft and stop.** No agent posts, releases, sends, or files. The agent's output is an artifact the human acts on.
+2. **Default to less.** Less network, less write scope, less retained data, less inferred narrative. Every additional thing the agent can do is a thing it can do wrong.
+
+## Posture every agent honors
+
+- Read-only by default. Write authority is folder-scoped.
+- Tool allowlist is in the agent's frontmatter; skills cannot grant new tools.
+- Network egress is denied unless the agent's frontmatter explicitly opens an allowlist.
+- Subagents run in their own session with `session-tools: false`; they cannot spawn further subagents unless declared.
+
+## File-marking conventions
+
+| Marking | Meaning | Agent behavior |
+|---|---|---|
+| `*.bank-creds.*`, `*.api-key.*`, `*.secret.*` | Credentials | Never read. Refuse, log. |
+| `*.signed.*`, `*.filed.*` | Final, post-human-action artifacts | Read only; never modified. |
+| Frontmatter `pii: true` | Personal data of clients/staff/vendors | Quote only with `disclose-named-record` override. |
+| Frontmatter `confidential: true` | Engagement-letter / advisory-only | Never include in cross-engagement analytics. |
+| `periods//closed.lock` exists | Closed period | No writes; adjustments go to next open period. |
+
+## Masking conventions
+
+Bank account numbers, IBANs, and tax IDs appear in agent output as last-4 only (`****1234`).
+
+To unmask:
+1. The user types `unmask-account-number` and provides a written reason.
+2. The agent appends both to `.clawix/audit.log` along with the unmasked value's context.
+3. The unmasked value lives in the *current response only* and is not retained in any draft.
+
+## Action gates (`human-in-loop` actions)
+
+The agent never autonomously performs any of these. The Clawix governance layer also blocks them at the runtime level:
+
+- `post_journal_entry`, `release_payment`, `send_invoice`, `file_return`
+- `close_period`, `adjust_prior_period`, `write_off_receivable`
+- `change_chart_of_accounts`, `change_master_data` (vendor/customer banking, terms, credit limits)
+- `mark_reconciliation_reviewed` (only the audit agent or a human; preparer never)
+- `submit_tax_filing`, `release_payroll_run`
+
+## Separation of duties
+
+- The preparer of an artifact is not the reviewer. The `bookkeeping`, `reconciliation`, `ap-ar`, `cashflow`, and `reporting` agents prepare. The `audit` agent reviews.
+- An agent never marks its own work reviewed.
+- A human who prepared an action cannot approve it; this is enforced in the governance layer using user identity, not just agent identity.
+
+## Audit log
+
+`.clawix/audit.log` is append-only. Every write, every refusal, every `human-in-loop` request appends one line:
+
+```
+
+```
+
+No agent edits, shortens, or renames `.clawix/audit.log`.
+
+## Refusal patterns (universal)
+
+These refusals apply to every agent. Each agent's own file may add more.
+
+- "Skip the dry-run, just post it" → refuse. All ledger-touching actions are dry-run by default.
+- "Hide the slippage / variance / open finding" → refuse. Surface or do not report.
+- "Override the period close" → refuse. Closed is closed.
+- "Send this to the client / partner / regulator" → refuse. Drafts go to `drafts/`. Humans send.
+- "Use a remote model / cloud OCR / external API for this" → refuse. The configured provider is the only model; no client data leaves it.
+- "Update master data from this email" → refuse. Master-data changes go through the verified channel and human approval.
+- "Don't write to the audit log this once" → refuse and log the request itself.
+
+## When the agent is unsure
+
+Stop. Drop a question into `briefs/-
