Every org now keeps one direct chat between the primary employee and the
active c_suite agent: created at onboarding bootstrap (hard failure if
missing), repaired for existing orgs at startup. The existing
wakeDirectCounterparts path already wakes the CEO on every founder
message, so this space is the pinned "talk to your AI CEO" entry the
Messages page will surface next.
A systematic review of the whole codebase (main process, renderer,
IPC/migration/packaging seams) surfaced four real defects; each is
fixed at its root:
- Legacy catalogue drift: the operator's profile still carried 89
active skills from the removed ~/.agents import era next to the 228
built-ins. Catalogue sync now mirrors the bundle - actives whose slug
the bundle does not ship retire (bindings keep resolving via their
pinned revisions; retired skills leave list_skills and cannot be
granted anew)
- Broken-bundle guard: staging now refuses a bundle without the
humanizer skill, so an empty or quarantined resources folder can
never trigger the mirror pass into retiring a healthy catalogue
- Duplicate agent names: @mentions, DM routing, and task assignment all
resolve by name, so createAgent and updateAgent renames now reject a
name already held by an active agent (case-insensitive); the mention
resolver still refuses to guess between legacy duplicates
- Stale DM titles: agent-to-agent conversation rows titled themselves
from the frozen creation-time space name, so renames never reached
the sidebar; direct titles now derive from members' current names
Verified clean in the same sweep: IPC surface (82 channels, handler +
preload + api aligned), per-migration transactions with rollback,
quota-parking month rollover, retry-budget counting, meeting spot
reuse across floor-plan rebuilds.
Skills no longer come from the user's ~/.agents library - most users have
none, and the CEO branch that compiled the entire catalogue into its
prompt overflowed the model context (1.1MB) and failed every CEO run.
- Bundle "built-in skills/" with the app (extraResources) and stage it
at startup into <profile>/builtin-skills as one dir-per-skill copy -
both bundle shapes (SKILL.md dirs and flat category .md files)
normalize into the same importable layout
- Import the staged catalogue per org at startup and inside onboarding,
so the CEO's first run already carries it
- Forced house style: resolveRuntimeSnapshot unions the humanizer skill
into every agent's runtime (CEO included) as a resolution rule - no
binding row to forget, delete, or bypass; revoke_skill refuses it
- CEO staffs hires with skills: hire_agent accepts a skills array,
grant_skill/revoke_skill adjust later, list_skills now shows
descriptions from skill frontmatter
- Kill the c_suite compile-all branch; everyone resolves bindings-only,
capped at 200k chars with omissions named in the prompt
- Remove the Skills settings page and its import/sync/test IPC surface;
drop ~/.agents discovery and the AGENTCOMPANY_NEW_SKILLS_ROOT seam in
favor of AGENTCOMPANY_NEW_BUILTIN_SKILLS_DIR
- Tests: staging/import/forced-resolution/cap units, real-bundle CI
check, e2e asserts the tab is gone and the catalogue self-imports
- Discover skill directories under ~/.agents/skills and each
workspace''s .agents/skills; a directory qualifies with a full
skill.manifest.json or just a SKILL.md, whose manifest is derived
(frontmatter name or the directory name). Paths resolve per platform
on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Sync at startup for every organization and again when the Skills
page opens; skills the org already carries are skipped, and one
broken directory cannot block the rest.
- AGENTCOMPANY_NEW_SKILLS_ROOT points tests at a temporary library
(overriding USERPROFILE crashes Electron on Windows).
The legacy application - its src, tests, landing site, promo assets, docs,
release tooling, CI workflows, and root configs - leaves the tree; it stays
reachable in history. Everything under AgentCompany-New moves up unchanged:
same package name, so the production userData/database path is untouched,
and e2e/build scripts already resolved paths relative to the project. The
developer cred.txt stays gitignored at its new location. Full verify:ci
passes from the new root.
Three independently ugly bugs that all fed the same log flood:
* Electron's `WebFrameMain.send` writes every "Render frame was disposed"
to stderr via `console.error`. When the worker fans a second
agent-event past a reloading renderer, we produced thousands of
identical lines and stalled the main loop on stderr I/O. Added a
`mainFrame.detached` guard so the send is short-circuited before
Electron's own catch block fires, and installed a targeted filter in
`suppress-warnings.ts` (now actually imported from the entry point)
so the specific `console.error("Error sending from webFrameMain:"…)`
noise never reaches the terminal. Any other payload still surfaces.
* `dispatchAgentMessage` accepted the human-reader sentinel as a wake
target when an agent replied to `__board__` — `wakeAgentIfPossible`
then called `db.getAgent("__board__")`, threw, and the dispatcher
kept repeating on every send. Strip `HUMAN_SENDER_ID` at
`resolveMessageWakeTargets`, and keep a defense-in-depth guard in the
heartbeat so a stray caller (future automation fan-out) cannot
reintroduce the crash.
* Pi's skills loader rejects any SKILL.md whose frontmatter `name`
diverges from its parent directory. The four bundled `my-writing-style`
copies declared `name: writing-style-skill`, so every install emitted
a warning and dropped the skill. They also lived as orphan gitlinks
(mode 160000 without .gitmodules), and the global `*.md` gitignore
hid every other SKILL.md from version control. Fixed the frontmatter
to match the dir, converted the dangling submodules to plain trees,
and allowlisted `builtin-skills/**/*.md` so a fresh clone carries the
catalogue instead of silently losing it.
