Never guess a route, field or exit code.\nWhere these pages and this prompt disagree, the pages win: tell me what differed.\n\n## Hard rules\n\n1. Never change what a task says or does. Cloned tasks are linked to their publisher.\n   Configure them only through input values, schedules, tool connections, and roles,\n   members and teams. Never publish a task version, never copy a task to edit it, and\n   never put this repository's name or paths into any task's text.\n2. Secrets never enter git, logs, pull request bodies or chat output. The API token lives\n   in a gitignored .env and in the MCP client's local configuration. Print only its last\n   four characters.\n3. You never decide a gate, merge a pull request, or create or revoke API tokens. For a\n   step only I can take (a token, a model, a tool on the enterprise, KPI sign-off), give\n   me the exact portal steps and values, then verify the result over the API once I say\n   "done".\n4. Read before every write. GET the object first and show me the diff for anything\n   already set. Put related writes in one script outside the repository, show it to me,\n   and run it only after I say go.\n5. Stay within the plan's members and schedules.\n6. If anything fails, stop and report the exact status, error code and body. Do not try\n   another route around a refusal.\n\n## Phase 0: Preflight (read only)\n\n- Confirm `git remote -v` matches the repository value, and find the remote's real\n  default branch. Check that you can create labels on the code host (for GitHub,\n  `gh auth status`).\n- Read this repository's AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, contributor docs and CI configuration.\n- Summarise for me: stack, package manager, test frameworks, lint, typecheck and build,\n  git hooks, CI, coverage policy, release process, and any existing mise.toml or .os\u002F.\nCheck: I confirm the summary and the Values block.\n\n## Phase 1: API token\n\n1. Ask me to create a token under Settings → API tokens, named for this assistant and\n   machine, with these scopes and nothing else:\n   catalog:write, tasks:write, teams:write, members:write, roles:read, tools:read,\n   runs:read, executions:read, blockers:read, gates:read, llm:read, spend:read,\n   enterprise:read.\n2. When I give it to you, make sure .env is in .gitignore, then write to .env:\n     ZEROHUMAN_API_URL=https:\u002F\u002Fapi.zerohuman.com\u002Fv1\n     ZEROHUMAN_TOKEN=zhos_…\n   Add a .env.example with the two names and empty values.\nCheck: GET $ZEROHUMAN_API_URL\u002Fhealth answers ok, and GET \u002Fteams with the token answers\n200 for this enterprise. A 403 names the missing scope. If you get one, tell me which\nscope to add with Edit scopes.\n\n## Phase 2: MCP server\n\n1. Connect the MCP server for this project only, with the token from .env, as\n   docs\u002Fmcp\u002Fconnect shows (for Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http zerohuman\n   https:\u002F\u002Fmcp.zerohuman.com\u002Fv1\u002Fmcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $ZEROHUMAN_TOKEN"`).\n   Never commit the token. If the team wants the server in a shared .mcp.json, read\n   the token from the environment there instead.\n2. Tell me to reload the session so the tools appear.\nCheck: the client lists the server as connected AND a tool call answers (os.list_blockers).\nConnecting and listing tools do not check the token. Only a call does.\n\n## Phase 3: The repository (a branch and a pull request; I merge)\n\nFollow the Workspaces page's "LLM Instruction for migrating an existing workspace" as\nthe contract, on a new branch. In short:\n- setup from a clean, non-interactive clone (.os\u002Fworkspace.yml only when auto-detection\n  is not enough; explicit setup replaces all auto-detection);\n- real `os:red`, `os:check` and `os:coverage` with the documented exit codes, the\n  ten-minute and 32,000-character limits, the real default branch and merge base, and\n  `--parts` where a check runs longer than ten minutes;\n- git hooks that let a RED commit through while static checks still run, with no bypass;\n- optional commands (os:deps*, os:release*, os:changelog*) only if I want them;\n- validation in a disposable fresh clone with a clean home, CI=true and NODE_ENV=test,\n  exercising every command and exit, with commands, exits and timings reported.\nIf there is no coverage policy, propose one and ask me. Never default to zero.\nOpen the pull request with that evidence. Do not merge it.\nCheck: I have merged the pull request.\n\n## Phase 4: Enterprise prerequisites (you check; I act in the portal)\n\n- GET \u002Fllm\u002Fbindings shows a model connected for the enterprise. If not, tell me to add\n  one on Agents. Schedules wait without one, and show nothing on Blockers.\n- GET \u002Fspend shows an enterprise day cap. If not, tell me to set one on Spend.\n\n## Phase 5: The code host connection, filling the codehost slot\n\nThe engineering tasks name no vendor's tools. They name the slot `codehost` and actions\nunder it, and one connection of mine fills that slot and maps every action.\n\n1. If the team acts as a member account of its own, it is created after Phase 6, with\n   the CTO's own address. Walk me through it then, as my code host's page describes,\n   and come back to this phase.\n2. Ask me to connect the code host on Tools, on the enterprise or on the CTO member when\n   the account is the CTO's own, as its page describes (for GitHub: a classic token\n   with `repo read:org`, the MCP server URL left blank). Then ask me to:\n   - add the git.* custom props: git.host, git.username, git.repoTemplate (GitHub's are\n     github.com, x-access-token and https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002F{repo}.git; "Add git settings"\n     fills them);\n   - set Fills slots to codehost;\n   - give it the full action map ("Add missing actions").\n   Every connection of that tool that a run can reach before this one needs the git.*\n   props as well, including a member's own.\n3. Connect any other tool from the Values block the same way.\nCheck over the API: GET \u002Ftools\u002Fbindings shows the connection with `codehost` in its slots,\nits git.* props set, and `missingSlotActions` empty. Note its id.\n\n## Phase 6: The team and its CTO\n\n1. Find the team template in GET \u002Fcatalog\u002Fteams, then read GET \u002Fcatalog\u002Fteams\u002F{id}\u002Freview.\n   Show me its roles, tasks, the tools they need, the slots to fill, the suggested\n   schedules and the plan size.\n2. Clone it with POST \u002Fcatalog\u002Fteams\u002F{id}\u002Fclone:\n   { name, slug, teammateNames (one per teammate, the CTO first),\n     moneyCentsDay (the cap in cents),\n     slotFills: [{ "slot": "codehost", "bindingId": "<the connection's id>" }],\n     schedules: [] }\n   An empty schedules list means every schedule arrives paused. They are switched on in\n   Phase 7, once their inputs are set. Record the team, member, role and task ids, plus\n   reusedTaskIds and awaitingSignOff. A role or task I already had is reused. Tell me\n   which were.\n3. The CTO: the member holding the CTO role.\n   - PATCH \u002Fmembers\u002F{id} with their name and persona.\n   - PATCH \u002Fteams\u002F{teamId} with leadMemberId set to the CTO. A team with no lead shows\n     on Blockers.\n   - Tell me which KPIs wait for my sign-off on the team's page.\n   - Read the member's page data for any tool their tasks need that no connection reaches.\n4. Successors: a clone keeps a task's successor only when the enterprise has that task.\n   For every cloned task, compare its successors with its catalog entry's\n   (GET \u002Fcatalog\u002Ftasks\u002F{id}) and list any edge that did not come across, with the task\n   it named.\nCheck: the team has its members, roles, lead and tasks, and Blockers shows nothing for a\ntool that is not bound, an unmapped action or an ambiguous slot.\n\n## Phase 7: Inputs, labels and schedules\n\n1. Input values: for every cloned task whose current version declares a `repo` input,\n   PUT \u002Ftasks\u002F{id}\u002Finput-values with { "values": { "repo": "<<owner\u002Fname>>" } }. Read the\n   task first and keep any value already set. Set no other key unless I agree.\n2. Labels: read the cloned tasks (GET \u002Ftasks\u002F{id}: skill, guardrails, inputs) and list\n   every issue label they read or write. Compare that list with the repository's labels,\n   show me the missing ones, and create them after I say go. A task that cannot find\n   its label stops.\n3. Schedules: show me a table with every task the review suggests a schedule for. Give\n   each one's cron, timezone and run input { "repo": "<<owner\u002Fname>>" }, whether its\n   prerequisites hold (a tool it needs that is not connected, an optional repository\n   command that is not there, CI it reads that the repository does not run), and your\n   recommendation. Add the tasks that take a repo input and have no suggested schedule,\n   such as sweeps, verifications and measurements, and ask me whether any should run on\n   one. Recommend within the plan's allowance, intake first. I choose. Then, for each\n   row, PUT \u002Ftasks\u002F{id}\u002Fschedule\n   { "cron": "…", "timezone": "<<timezone>>", "enabled": <true|false>,\n     "input": { "repo": "<<owner\u002Fname>>" } }.\nCheck: each schedule reads back as chosen, an enabled one has a next run time, and\nBlockers lists no task with a missing input.\n\n## Phase 8: The first run (I decide; you watch)\n\n1. Ask me to file one small, well-specified issue, or to point you at one.\n2. Start intake by hand: POST \u002Ftasks\u002F{id}\u002Fruns, with the run's input as the body,\n   { "repo": "<<owner\u002Fname>>" }. The body is the input itself, not wrapped in "input".\n3. Follow the run and its execution (os.list_runs, os.get_run), hop by hop until the\n   pull request reaches its merge gate.
