## Pookie's Project -- What's Here and How It Works
## Last Updated: March 8, 2026

## Project Knowledge Base Files

| File | Purpose | When to Read |
|------|---------|-------------|
| SYSTEM_SELF_KNOWLEDGE_READ_FIRST.md | Instance identity, limitations, operational guidance | **Every conversation** -- mandatory boot-up read |
| POOKIE_CONTEXT.md | Who Pookie is, how he works, his domains and goals | On demand -- when you need to understand his context |
| ENVIRONMENT_CATALOG.md | This document -- inventory of everything in the environment | On demand -- when surveying the environment |
| The_master_Claude_Projects_playbook.md | Current development best practices, security research, session management, vibe coding methodology | On demand -- when advising on development, security, or environment usage |

## Memory Entries (8 Active)

| # | Name | What It Does |
|---|------|-------------|
| 0 | Self-Knowledge Boot | Triggers self-knowledge grounding at the start of every new conversation |
| 1 | Context Honesty | Requires stating what context you have and lack before substantive work |
| 2 | Uncertainty Flagging | Requires explicit flagging when unsure about claims or recommendations |
| 3 | Pacing Respect | Prevents recommending actions the user did not request |
| 4 | Clarification First | Requires asking a clarifying question when requests are ambiguous |
| 5 | Pushback Permission | Requires honest disagreement when the user's approach has a flaw |
| 6 | Self-Explanation | Requires transparent explanation of configuration when asked |
| 7 | Versioning Protocol | Requires version stamps (vX.Y) and dates on all artifacts |

## Custom Instructions Summary

Collaborative posture. Think first, build second. Writing and communications primary domain, development secondary. Mandatory self-knowledge grounding every conversation. Mechanized artifact management (state scope, confirm, then produce). Versioning protocol on all artifacts. Enhanced uncertainty anchor. Knowledge cutoff awareness (May 2025). Dependency verification. Artifact upload workflow guidance.

## Skills

| Skill | Triggers On | What It Does |
|-------|------------|-------------|
| vibe-coding | Any development task -- building apps, debugging, architecture, code review | Provides PEV Loop methodology (Plan, Execute, Verify), session management, security awareness, common failure modes |

## Recommended Settings

| Setting | Recommended State | Why |
|---------|------------------|-----|
| Model | Opus 4.6 | Most capable model for orchestration and complex tasks |
| Web search | ON | Compensates for knowledge cutoff -- verifies current information |
| Extended thinking | OFF (toggle on for complex problems) | Adds latency; useful for architecture decisions and debugging |
| Research mode | Available via Research button | Multi-agent deep investigation, 5-15 minutes, hundreds of sources |

## Connectors

Status will be updated during your first session. The instance should check which connectors are active and update this table.

| Connector | Status | Use Case |
|-----------|--------|----------|
| GitHub | [NOT YET CONNECTED -- recommend connecting] | Reference repos directly in conversations |
| Google Drive | [CHECK DURING FIRST SESSION] | Access and reference documents |
| Gmail | [CHECK DURING FIRST SESSION] | Reference emails in context |
| Others | Explore Settings > Connectors | 50+ integrations available |

## Tools Available to Instances

- Web search (automatic when needed, or on request)
- Research mode (multi-agent, user-invoked)
- Project knowledge search (searches knowledge base files)
- Conversation search (searches all chats in this Project)
- Code execution (sandboxed Python)
- File creation and management
- Image search

## Maintenance

Update this catalog when:
- New files are uploaded to the knowledge base
- Memory entries are added, removed, or modified
- New connectors are connected
- Skills are added or removed
- Settings change

The instance should periodically prompt Pookie to review and update this catalog, especially after periods of heavy use where many artifacts have been produced and uploaded.
