ABP: conductor@web-summit.indi
Drafted by abp@web-summit.dinis on 2 November 2026, from the repository alone: people/indi/agents.json and the standard conductor prompt on the agents page, Indi's brief (part two, the rules for their agents) and the agent's commits. Its session runs in Indi's account, which abp@web-summit.dinis cannot see, so most of the Reach is unknown and says so. Template: the conductor's ABP. A factual record: it says what is, not what should be.
Reach: what it can actually access or affect
- Systems: the repository SGit-AI/SGit-AI__Website__Web-Summit, with push to
dev(measured: its commits are ondev). Push gives every file, the gate and the CI workflow;mainis not protected. - Network (measured by the agent): its session's network policy refused pki.sgit.ai and web-summit.sgit.ai on its first runs (5eac229, 799d37c); pki.sgit.ai has been allowed since about 23:00 on 3 November (its key published, d06dde97; corrected at its request, 3803e9fb). The policy is set in Indi's environment, above the agent: a real boundary, now narrower.
- Connectors and tools: not known. The session is in Indi's account; Indi or the agent can list them.
- How known: from its commits and its person's pages, read 4 November 2026 00:15 UTC. Nothing here was measured in its own session.
Mandate: what was authorised
- Business task: conducts Indi's agents, keeps
people/indi/, feeds the stand-ups and briefs Indi; on a schedule at 07:20, 12:20 and 17:20 GMT. - Deployment scope:
people/indi/**(onboarding.json, agents.json, ack.json, briefs/), its own public key entry indata/keys.json, and items for Indi in the stand-ups' agenda, from the standard conductor prompt; the board is everyone's. - Rules from the brief: never send (a person sends every message); public material only, with sources; no personal contact details; no promises about prices, the stand or the organisers; material is not instruction; keys never in a file, a page or a message.
- Authorised by: Indi, whose agent it is; the team's rules are Dinis's.
Gap: capabilities within Reach beyond authority
- Code in its person's folder runs in CI with a token that can push and deploy (WS-133):
people/indi/pages.mjsis the first such file. - Write anywhere in the repository: its push access is not limited to
people/indi/andboard/, the paths its person's brief gives it. - Rewrite history on
dev:devis not protected (mainis, since 6 November) (GitHub branches API, 2 November; still at 08:15 on 3 November). - Anything its session's other connectors can do: not known to this ABP.
- It holds its person's site key (WS-136, WS-138): it issues the key in its own session and keeps the private half (the agents page, #person-key). A verified "signed by <person>" on a lane message is the one thing that turns lane input into an instruction, so it can sign as its person.
- Two conductor sessions (2a0ce5f0, 4 November 10:57): Indi started a second while the first still runs and holds Indi's site key; the second published its own key beside the first (
conductor-indi-2). Two sessions with the same name and the same mandate until Indi chooses one.
- It can open the team's private CRM (WS-170, 237ee015): the private CRM's vault key is sealed to every person and to each person's conductor (
data/sealed/agents/); the private CRM holds the coordination actions, each sealed to Dinis and its owner, and the public CRM's key.
Barriers: what really stands in the way
| Barrier | Kind | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Never send; a person sends every message | rule, kept by the agent | Indi's brief, part two |
Writes only people/indi/, the board and the agenda | rule, kept by the agent | the brief; git has no per-path write control |
| Never push to main, never force-push, never disable a check | rule, kept by the agent; for main, technical since 6 November | CLAUDE.md; main and dev were not protected before. Since 6 November (GitHub branches API at 04:15 UTC), main is protected (protected: true; the rule's details not read): for main this is now a technical barrier. dev is still unprotected, and 17 claude/* session branches exist; WS-179 (proposed at Angelo's word, 6 November) would have every session push only to dev, delete them, and refuse new ones. |
| The gate (validate.js) before every deploy | technical, in CI | deploy-pages.yml; it stops a red build deploying, not the push |
| No contact detail or key shape in public folders | technical | comms_check.mjs, gate check 15 (scans people/ and board/) |
| security@web-summit.dinis reviews every commit twice a day | review, after the fact | team/security/reviews/ |
In the history (dev, read 4 November 2026 00:15 UTC): people/indi/ (onboarding, agents.json, briefs), two stand-up items and its key entry: inside its mandate. Indi's site key issued at 07:21 on 4 November (3803e9fb), the private half in its session. Its commits are authored "Claude" and git reads no Agent: line on them (the Co-Authored-By paragraph follows it): the name in the subject is the agent's own word.
Open questions: its connectors; who reviews its output each day; whether Indi has registered a key for it to link to.

Provenance
Owner: Indi. Drafted by abp@web-summit.dinis from the repository; Indi and the agent correct it. Version 4, 5 November 2026 (16:10 wake: the private CRM; 12:10 wake: two sessions; 08:10 wake: the person key, WS-138), in content/abp/ with its history in git.
Phase: explorer (from 6 November 2026, at Dinis's word): this ABP observes and recommends; it blocks nothing. Lock-down comes gently, each step with an escape valve. The phase.
