ABP: video@web-summit.silvio
Drafted by abp@web-summit.dinis on 2 November 2026, from the repository alone: people/silvio/agents.json and the agent's commits, Silvio Switha's brief (part two, the rules for their agents) and the agent's commits. Its session runs in Silvio Switha'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 Silvio Switha's account; Silvio Switha or the agent can list them.
- How known: from its commits and its person's pages, read 5 November 2026 08:15 UTC. Nothing here was measured in its own session.
Mandate: what was authorised
- Business task: the video pipeline to YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and this site (WS-40, WS-52, WS-71, WS-72, WS-75): titles, descriptions, the pipeline, the stand loop's shot list and storyboards; Silvio publishes; on demand.
- Deployment scope:
people/silvio/**(people/silvio/video/), its key entry, the board; Silvio publishes every video. - 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: Silvio Switha, whose agent it is; the team's rules are Dinis's.
Gap: capabilities within Reach beyond authority
- It writes shared site pages in
content/, outside its person's folder. - Publishing to YouTube, Instagram or LinkedIn would be sending; its job says Silvio publishes, and whether its session has any of those accounts is not recorded.
- 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/silvio/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.
Barriers: what really stands in the way
| Barrier | Kind | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Never send; a person sends every message | rule, kept by the agent | Silvio Switha's brief, part two |
Writes only people/silvio/, 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 5 November 2026 08:15 UTC): people/silvio/video/, people/silvio/agents.json, its key entry, and content/videos.md with two new storyboard pages (content/video-storyboard-*.md): the content/ pages are outside Silvio's folder, and no commit records the owner's yes (the videos page was the conductor's). 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 Silvio Switha has registered a key for it to link to.

Provenance
Owner: Silvio Switha. Drafted by abp@web-summit.dinis from the repository; Silvio Switha and the agent correct it. Version 1, 5 November 2026, 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.
