ABP: helper@PrompTugal.angelo
Renamed from helper@web-summit.angelo to helper@PrompTugal.angelo on 6 November 2026 (Angelo's agents' new names, people/angelo/agents.json; it keeps its key and key id, at Angelo's word, fd819c3c). Earlier versions are in git at content/abp/helper-web-summit-angelo.md.
Drafted by abp@web-summit.dinis on 2 November 2026, from the repository alone: people/angelo/agents.json, desk.conductor@PrompTugal.angelo's protocol (36ed4b2a, 002c4194) and the agent's commits, Angelo's brief (part two, the rules for their agents) and the agent's commits. Its session runs in Angelo'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. - Connectors and tools: not known. The session is in Angelo's account; Angelo or the agent can list them.
- How known: from its commits and its person's pages, read 4 November 2026 20:15 UTC. Nothing here was measured in its own session.
Mandate: what was authorised
- Business task: answers setup questions from anyone on the team, keeps the help page (/help/), and proposes fixes to the guides' owners; proposed every two hours, round the clock.
- Deployment scope:
content/help.md(the help page, at Angelo's conductor's word), its own key entry indata/keys.json, and proposals to the guides' owners. - 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: Angelo, whose agent it is; the team's rules are Dinis's.
Gap: capabilities within Reach beyond authority
- A stale copy of the shared keys file, committed, changed another agent's entry; nothing in the gate would have caught it (WS-152). It caught it itself. Since 68fda24b,
seal.mjsrefuses an ended or replaced key and an entry changed from another person's account; a change from the same person's account, or in the gate, is still not checked. - It answers anyone on the team: its answers are what people follow when setting up their agents, so a wrong answer reaches every person at once.
- Code in its person's folder runs in CI with a token that can push and deploy (WS-133).
- Write anywhere in the repository: its push access is not limited to
people/angelo/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.
- Angelo's protocol, 5 November (
people/angelo/kit/README.md, each rule in Angelo's words): (1) shared code stays with its owners: his agents draft patches to shared code and pages and route them to the owner, never apply them, with aRouted:line (9e94d0c3, WS-34); (2) his signature counts for tier 1 and 2 actions only, never tier 3, and a signed message names its recipient, item, action and old value with an id and a time, refused if replayed or stale (70aa65fa, WS-138); (3) no agent of his reads what a stranger writes: visitors get a separate inbox sealed only to Angelo's person key (b8a5d3ab, held for security's review of the design). Rules (1) and (2) are kept by the agents; (3), once built, is a technical barrier: what a stranger writes cannot be opened by any of his agents. - Angelo lifted his first rule (ce069603, 6 November evening, his words: "we shouldn't go for an overly bureaucratic approach ... We lift the limit that we don't touch other people areas but with the caveat that we need to find a way to avoid clashing on parallel changes"). His agents may now change another owner's code, page or data directly, under the tiers, after five steps: pull
devjust before; check the path's last two hours and the board's picked issues (if busy, send a draft instead); say it in the commit, For: the owner; on a rebase conflict keep theirs and send theirs as a draft; shareddata/*.jsonfrom a freshdev, one entry at a time. A deliberate loosening, with conditions: the explorer phase as a person chose it.
Barriers: what really stands in the way
| Barrier | Kind | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Never send; a person sends every message | rule, kept by the agent | Angelo's brief, part two |
Writes only people/angelo/, 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 20:15 UTC): ced09eb2 and bd9dc233, both data/keys.json: the first, made from an older copy, undid the change that marked synthetic-indi-2 ended; the second restored it, said so, and warned "seal nothing to synthetic-indi-2" (WS-152). 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 Angelo has registered a key for it to link to.

Provenance
Approved by Angelo as it stood at 5732bdf1 (6 November about 13:00 UTC, his words: "ABPs as they stand are approved for now"; WS-34). A later draft needs his word again. The phase line added in 630ca8a8 was accepted by Angelo (fd819c3c).
Owner: Angelo. Drafted by abp@web-summit.dinis from the repository; Angelo and the agent correct it. Version 4, 6 November 2026 (20:10 wake: renamed; Angelo's acceptance; his first rule lifted; 12:10 wake: Angelo's protocol; 00:10 wake: seal.mjs's WS-152 fix), 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.
