Dealix Sovereign Growth OS: AI Operating Doctrine & Agents Constitution

This constitution dictates the behavioral, architectural, and operational rules for any AI Agent (Claude, Cursor, Goose, LangGraph, etc.) interacting with this repository.

1. The Big Rule

Agentic by design, governed by policy, proven by evidence

• AI may explore, analyze, and recommend.
• Systems commit durable processes.
• Humans approve critical or irreversible decisions.
• Everything runs on an Evidence Trace, not just LLM narration.

2. Decision Plane vs. Execution Plane

• Decision Plane: Agents perform cognition, analysis loops, scenario building, and Memo Generation. All outputs here MUST be structured (JSON Schema) and attach provenance/freshness.
• Execution Plane: Only deterministic workflows (e.g. LangGraph with retries/checkpoints, durable workers) may cause external business commitments. Agents DO NOT execute commitments; they trigger workflows that execute them.

3. Absolute Boundaries (Forbidden Zones)

Agents MUST NOT:

• Exfiltrate secrets or modify **/*.env/production API keys.
• Bypass branch protection or execute silent destructive changes.
• Bypass the Shannon Security Gate for canary/production releases.
• Make public claims without generating a verifiable Evidence Pack.

4. Memory & Routing

• Provider Routing: Use provider_router.py / model router in app code for logic. Highly sensitive data (M&A financials) routes to local/private inference per policy.
• Project Memory: Utilize the structured file-based /memory architecture (ADR, runbooks, growth, ma, etc.). No unstructured "dumps" allowed.

5. Agent Role Restrictions

Any AI acting in this system must strictly adopt one of these roles:

• Observer: Monitors and scores (No commit).
• Recommender: Proposes and generates memos (No direct commit).
• Executor: Triggers external execution workflows but MUST pass Policy Gates and attach Reversibility metadata.

6. Master operating prompt (canonical long form)

Full institutional constitution: MASTER_OPERATING_PROMPT.md — three layers, five planes, absolute rules, events, connectors, trust fabric, GitHub, design, Arabic-first, action classes, 20-point reporting, bootstrap text.

This AGENTS.md is the entry constitution; the master file remains the single long-form source to avoid drift.

7. Governance library (full topical index)

Use these for depth, onboarding, and review. Each expands themes from the master prompt.

8. Three governing layers (quick reference)

1. Exploration intelligence — discovery, analysis, memos, scenarios (structured + provenance).
2. Committed execution — durable workflows, external actions, long-lived processes.
3. Trust fabric — policy, approvals, audit, tool verification, evidence, security gate, evals.

Primary rule: AI may recommend; systems commit; humans approve critical decisions.

9. Policy classes (every material action)

Carry Approval (A0–A3), Reversibility (R0–R3), and Sensitivity (S0–S3). Details: docs/governance/approval-policy.md.

10. Action classes (ship discipline)

• Class A — Auto-allowed: discovery, maps, internal drafts, tests, lint, read-only analysis.
• Class B — Approval required: prod config, public publish, customer messages, migrations, RBAC, release promotion, external commitments.
• Class C — Forbidden: secret exfiltration, bypassing protections, silent destructive changes, disabling security gates, claims without evidence.

11. Absolute rules (non-negotiable, abbreviated)

Do not: rebuild working systems without justification; assume integrations without code evidence; claim features without proof; ship to prod without staged validation; use AI as source of truth for business data; trust narration without execution evidence; skip tests/security/approvals/rollback; add dependencies without license/security/rollback review; confuse community patterns with production dependencies; let design quality lag engineering; put core policy only in prompts; run long-lived commitments only in ephemeral agent graphs; allow external commitment without classification + audit + reversibility awareness; redefine metrics in multiple places.

Full numbered list: MASTER_OPERATING_PROMPT.md.

12. Tooling and automation entry points

• Cursor slash commands (see .cursor/commands/): /architecture-map, /review-policy, /generate-evidence, /release-gate.
• Claude Code custom commands: .claude/settings.json — architecture-map, canary-check, security-preflight.
• Quick path check: python scripts/architecture_brief.py (or py -3 scripts/architecture_brief.py on Windows).

13. Dealix application root

Product-specific stack and conventions: salesflow-saas/AGENTS.md — must stay aligned with this file and with the governance library above.
