Agent tooling and notebook pattern (Nov 5)
Decisions
- All assistants use Grok Bot only for agent work. Scrap Grok Build / Grok CLI queues and jobs on Dell and Mint (huge context tokens, little compaction).
- Library drafting stays on Grok Bot executors or the Librarian bot; no cloud agents for routine library drafts (GitHub suspension risk + poor home internet).
- Private iinventedlight notebook is a second brain, not a mandatory preflight: read INDEX/QUEUE when the topic was already discussed or after time away.
- Agents: private-project questions → private notebook/library; general knowledge/how-to → public library; every MCP call sends a clear client name.
- Prefer dense notes plus separate artifacts (code, schemas, indexes, embeddings, tables, tool APIs) keyed to the same topics.
Rejected options
- Continuing Dell/Mint Grok CLI nightly GREEN condense queues.
- Cloud agents for routine iinventedlight / library draft work (for now).
Open questions
- Whether remaining CLI queue items on Dell/Mint are fully extracted into notes and disassembled.
