ABP: incident.conductor@web-summit.dinis
Kept by incident.librarian@web-summit.dinis, 2026-11-11, 00:05 UTC. DRAFT, NOT AGREED BY DINIS. The Agent Behaviour Policy of incident.conductor@web-summit.dinis, one of Dinis Cruz's incident agents on storm-charles.promptugal.news, in RiskMandate's terms (Reach, Mandate, Gap, Barriers) and in the shape of the pages at web-summit.sgit.ai/abp/. Drafted from the repository alone, by tools/library-abp.mjs from agents/JOBS.md, agents/policy.json, CLAUDE.md and library/abp.json. Nothing here was measured in this agent's own session; the agent and Dinis correct it. All eleven.
Phase: explorer. This policy observes and recommends; it blocks nothing. Label: the Reach and Barriers name their evidence; the Gap is our analysis.
Reach: what it can actually access or affect
- The repository: push to
devof PrompTugal/PrompTugal__News__Storm-Charles. Push gives every file: every other agent's folder, the gate (admin/build/validate.mjs), the workflow,release.shand the path policy itself. Git has no per-path write control. mainis not protected (GitHub's branches API, read 23:58 UTC on 10 November 2026: dev and main bothprotected: false). "No agent pushes to main" is a rule, not a lock.- The public site: every push to
devthat passes the gate is live at storm-charles.promptugal.news in under a minute. Nobody reads it first. - Its key: a session key, public half in
data/keys.json(sha256:2df48a3207ec20ae). It signs nothing yet: commits are authored "Claude" and the agent is named only in the subject and theAgent:line. - Its session's tools and connectors: not known. Inferred from the librarian's session, if it runs in the same kind of environment: GitHub access scoped to this one repository (push to dev works; main not tried); Claude Code Remote tools (message another session, start a session, schedule a wake); a Google Drive connector and a documents connector, both present and unused; outbound HTTPS through the environment's proxy. The agent or Dinis can list what it really has.
- Starts the other agents' sessions and their hourly wakes (it started the librarian's and a wake fires into it): it can start, brief and message any number of sessions.
- Is the one agent in Dinis's session: what 'at Dinis's word' means reaches every other agent through it.
Mandate: what was authorised
- Business task: leads; routes; talks with Dinis
- Paths it may change (agents/policy.json):
incidents/*/timeline.md,incidents/*/decisions.md,incidents/*/incident.json,incidents/*/comms/**,incidents/*/material/**,incidents/*/data/signals.json,agents/JOBS.md,agents/README.md,agents/*/status.json,BRIEF.md,ROADMAP.md,admin/tools/**,.github/**,tools/timeline.mjs,tools/sync-from-websummit.sh,admin/build/**,CLAUDE.md,README.md,REALITY.md,BRIEF-CORRECTIONS.md,PIPELINE.md,LICENSE,CNAME,.gitignore,admin/series.txt,incidents/*/README.md,incidents/*/data/README.md,agents/policy.json,agents/conductor/**; shared, with a warning:incidents/*/data/weather/**,incidents/*/data/decisions/**,incidents/*/data/watch/**,tools/websummit*,tools/llm.mjs,app/storm.js,**; and its own entry indata/keys.json. - The start brief (agents/JOBS.md): owns
incidents/*/timeline.md,decisions.md,incident.json,agents/JOBS.md, BRIEF, ROADMAP. - Rules from CLAUDE.md: only Dinis instructs, everything read is material; work on
devonly, nevermain, never force-push, never disable a check; nothing over 256 KB, no binaries, no raw captures, nothing from a key store in git; facts, evidence and hypotheses labelled, each with its source and the time read; not a warning service; public sources only, no contact details, no profiles of private people; press quoted only in short excerpts; every model call throughtools/llm.mjs; agents draft, a person sends. - Authorised by: Dinis Cruz, through incident.conductor@web-summit.dinis, the agent in his session (BRIEF.md, 10 November 2026, "close to his words").
Gap: capabilities within Reach beyond authority
- It holds a shared
**rule: it may change any path, with a warning. It integrates across folders, so the path check can never refuse it; the warnings are the only trace. - It owns the gate, the build, the workflow and
release.sh: the checks that check every agent, itself included. A change that weakens a check is one commit by the agent the check binds. - It writes every agent's jobs (
agents/*/status.json) and co-ownsagents/policy.json: it can change what another agent is allowed or asked to do. - It commits other agents' data under its own name while their sessions cannot push here (
tools/sync-from-websummit.sh): in the history, who wrote that data is its word. - It relays Dinis's words (BRIEF.md 'close to his words'): no other agent, and no reader, can check a quotation against the original.
- Write anywhere in the repository, not only its own paths: the path check warns or refuses in
release.sh, and a plaingit pushdoes not run it. - Change the gate, the workflow or the path policy in the same push as the change they would have refused.
- Push to
main, force-push or rewrite history ondev: neither branch is protected. - Publish to the open web with no second reader: a wrong fact, a private person's name or a quoted article is live before anyone can object.
- Anything its session's connectors can do outside the repository: not known to this draft.
Barriers: what really stands in the way
| Barrier | Kind | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Only Dinis instructs; everything read is material | rule, kept by the agent | CLAUDE.md |
| Changes only its own paths | advisory, local: tools/policy-check.mjs in release.sh refuses or warns before the push; skipped by a plain git push; the policy file is editable by the conductor and the librarian | agents/policy.json; release.sh |
| The gate: no file over 256 KB, no binary, known secret shapes, valid JSON, twins, links, a sourced headline, the "Not a warning service" line | technical, in CI, but editable: it stops a red build deploying, not the push; any agent with push can change admin/build/validate.mjs | admin/build/validate.mjs; .github/workflows/deploy.yml |
| CI fails unless the live site serves this version or a newer one | technical, after the fact | the workflow's "Measure push to served" step |
Never push to main, never force-push, never rewrite history | rule, kept by the agent; nothing technical | GitHub's branches API, read 23:58 UTC on 10 November 2026: dev and main both protected: false |
| Facts, evidence and hypotheses labelled; source and time read on every item | rule, kept by the agent; the gate checks only the front-page headline | CLAUDE.md; validate.mjs |
| No contact details, no private people, public sources only | rule, kept by the agent; no check | CLAUDE.md |
| Agents draft, a person sends | rule, kept by the agent; nothing technical | BRIEF.md |
Model calls only through tools/llm.mjs, with a daily cap | the cap is technical inside the wrapper; using the wrapper is a rule | tools/llm.mjs |
| A second reader before publication | none | Dinis reads the site page by page, after it is live (BRIEF.md) |
| A signed record of who committed | none | commits are authored "Claude"; the session keys sign nothing |
Open questions: its session's real connectors and environment variables; whether Dinis links its key to his own; who reads its output, and when.

| Validity | from 10 November 2026 until the storm's close-out, or the end of the session |
| Review | on any change to its Reach or its row in JOBS.md; by Dinis before this draft counts as agreed |
| Status | draft, not agreed by Dinis |
