Documentation and repo-hygiene pass following the client/server split:
Plan drift (audited all other active plans against current code):
- oikos-gaps-and-improvements.md: mark Section C and D.5 resolved (both
described cmd/hermes, renamed to cmd/nomos with a real LLM loop since);
refresh ~10 stale file:line citations; fix tool-count (33, not 28).
- liveness-drift-and-ux-cohesion.md: fix stale default-model claim (now
deepseek-v4-pro since 2026-07-10) and "not yet deployed" status.
- nomos-agent-code-review.md: fix C1's citation (one unauthenticated route
to nomos now, not two, after the client/server split).
- wails-desktop-app.md: record the production deploy outcome.
Repo structure: added missing directories to README/CONTRIBUTING layout
tables (checks/, tools/, cmd/webhook/, docs/operations/), fixed a broken
link, added ADR 0015 documenting the auth/CORS/client-split model (there
wasn't one despite CONTRIBUTING's own process requiring it), normalized
ADR 0013/0014's format drift, added an Authentication section to
AGENTS.md/CLIENTS.md (every example call was missing the now-required
bearer header).
Retired the Goose+Nomos workstation flow (bootstrap.sh --with-nomos,
tools/setup-nomos-soul.sh, .agents/operations/nomos-agent.md) and the
Caveman auto-install tooling (tools/setup-caveman.sh, tools/caveman/) —
both superseded by the production containerized Nomos agent, which has
never used either. Kept .agents/shared/caveman.md itself (the terse
writing-style convention agents still follow by reading it).
Deleted the orphaned legacy Python oikos/ directory — nothing imports it,
and bin/homelab (the CLI it was kept for) no longer exists in the repo.
Rewrote .agents/operations/agent-enrollment.md (365 -> ~110 lines) and
commands.md to match the current architecture instead of the retired
`homelab` CLI; migrated the still-true networking prerequisites (Netbird,
split-horizon DNS, SSH key distribution) into the knowledge base as a
runbook via upsert_knowledge rather than duplicating them in markdown.
Updated all 10 .agents/skills/ runbooks referencing the dead CLI with
their real MCP tool / REST API equivalents, or flagged them as needing
verification where no equivalent is confirmed yet.
Two real bugs found and fixed, not just docs:
- The tools/setup-*.sh auto-setup glob was tools/*.setup.sh in THREE
places (tools/post-pull.sh, bootstrap.sh, and internal/httpapi/impl.go's
GetClientContext handler) since the mechanism's introduction on
2026-06-02 — never matched any real filename, so no client has ever
picked up an auto-setup script via git-pull or the context-poller sync.
Fixed all three; the Go server-side fix is the one that actually matters
since it's what the current context-poller mechanism depends on.
- bootstrap.sh removed dead vestigial --gitea-token/--gitea-user flags
(parsed, never consumed) left over from an earlier clone-based model.
Also flagged, not fixed (documented as an open gap in
client-enrollment/SKILL.md): bootstrap.sh tells a freshly-enrolled client
to call POST /api/v1/clients/{slug}/activate to finish enrollment, but
that route doesn't exist in api/openapi.yaml — EnrollClient sets entities
to provisioning and nothing currently transitions them to active.

# NOMOS.md — Agent persona for homelab clients
|
|
|
|
This file is the canonical agent persona for AI agents running on machines
|
|
in the **hubris** homelab (Claude Code, Codex, or similar). It prescribes
|
|
behaviour, token-efficiency conventions, and the source-of-truth hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
The *production* Nomos agent (`cmd/nomos`, the containerized MCP client
|
|
gateway everyone actually talks to) uses a separate, code-adjacent persona —
|
|
`nomos/SOUL.md`, baked into its Docker image at build time
|
|
(`compose/nomos/Dockerfile`). This file is unrelated to that one; it's for
|
|
AI coding agents working *on* a homelab client machine, not the Nomos
|
|
service itself.
|
|
|
|
## Source of truth
|
|
|
|
The homelab-context repo at `/opt/homelab-context/` is the single source of
|
|
truth for:
|
|
- Fleet topology (`inventory.yaml`)
|
|
- Agent behaviour and conventions
|
|
- Everything in this file
|
|
|
|
When in doubt, check `/opt/homelab-context/` first, or query the Oikos API/MCP
|
|
server directly (see [AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md) §3-4) — the database is
|
|
authoritative at runtime.
|
|
|
|
## Runbooks — load, don't rediscover
|
|
|
|
For the canonical workflows (service health check, config change +
|
|
deploy, client enrollment, incident investigation, and each node
|
|
lifecycle transition), read the matching `.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` before
|
|
acting. Each skill carries its risk class, required inputs, the
|
|
verification command, and a docs-update checklist in its frontmatter —
|
|
classify against `seeds/policy.yaml` using that risk class before any
|
|
mutation. Don't re-derive topology or the mutation path by grepping the
|
|
wiki when a runbook already encodes it. See [OIKOS.md](OIKOS.md) for the
|
|
operating model these runbooks execute inside (OODA loop, risk classes,
|
|
approval flow, ontology).
|
|
|
|
## Token efficiency
|
|
|
|
Apply [caveman.md](shared/caveman.md) — terse, fragment-heavy chat responses
|
|
(not committed documentation). There's no separate tool to install for
|
|
this; it's a response-style convention any agent follows by reading the
|
|
file.
