CT260 “pops” · handoff · July 10, 2026

Dad’s agent, with all nine of his July 9 asks folded in

Every memo transcribed, six new skills live in his box, the budget engine audit came back clean, and nothing was restarted, exposed, or spent. The 3060 was never touched.

His nine asks, and where each one stands

What Keith asked for (his words, condensed)What his agent does nowState
“How many calories… good healthy food lists” Health coach now does food triage: tell it what he ate, get a calorie ballpark and a plain good-for-the-road verdict, plus a 20-item healthy truck-stop pick list. Live
“Each day… Black inventors, civil rights laws” New daily-spark skill, 62 curated inventors, laws, and milestones, one per day inside the existing morning ping. “Tell me more” expands. Live
“Talk into it… read texts to me” Voice-in already works through Telegram; a TTS script exists in his box. Demo the read-aloud flow Tuesday and confirm it matches what he meant. Tuesday
“Tell me color patterns that go together” New style-coach skill anchored on his own colors, in his order: black, brown, grey, then green. One outfit suggestion at a time. Photograph his real suits Tuesday. Live
“Block the scam and international calls” New scam-shield coaching skill (never call back, never press 1, tell the agent). Actual blocking is phone settings, a 2-minute Tuesday setup, steps already in the runbook. Tuesday
“Toyota Corolla codes, easy fixes… help me diagnose” New car-doctor skill for 2003–2023 Corollas: plain-language code explanations, common causes, DIY-vs-shop calls. Brakes, steering, airbags, fuel: always a shop job. Live
“Safe routes for the big truck… 13'6", doubles” New road-copilot skill, trip-planning coach with a hard rule (below). Recommends a real truck GPS and helps him use it; never plays GPS itself. Live
“I don’t have a budget… I want a weekly budget” Budget skill now runs a weekly cadence: weekly check-in under 10 lines, a planned Giving envelope (he’s a giver, it stays funded on purpose), one literacy tidbit a week max. Real numbers get seeded Tuesday. Live
“Teach me Spanish… grow with this thing” New spanish-coach skill, 75 practical driver-and-city phrases, one a day in the morning ping with plain phonetics, micro-lessons on request. Live

Also captured from his notes: favorite colors (black, brown, grey, green) are now in his profile on both sides. He mentioned “that article” in the calories memo, ask him which article he meant.

What the morning ping looks like now

One message a day, same timer as before, no new notification noise. Verified with the production script’s dry run (July 11 shown; the history item and phrase rotate daily):

Good morning. One thing today: your 7-10 minute routine, 2 min of slow
breathing, band rows, done. That's the whole ask.

Today's spark: Frederick McKinley Jones, invented a practical refrigeration
unit for trucks and railcars, making it possible to ship food safely over
long distances, a direct ancestor of today's refrigerated trucking.

Spanish: "el puente" = "the bridge" (say: el PWEN-teh)

Two safety rules that are now load-bearing

The agent never routes the truck

It never generates turn-by-turn directions and never declares a road “safe.” A wrong answer at 13'6" is a bridge strike. It teaches trip planning, sets him up with a real truck GPS (Hammer, Trucker Path, SmartTruckRoute, Garmin dēzl), and defers to posted signs, stated at the top of the skill and in the soul file.

Car help stops at the dangerous parts

Corolla diagnostics frame “most common causes to check,” never a certain diagnosis, and anything touching brakes, steering, airbags, fuel, or structure is always “that one’s a shop job.”

W9 finance, audit result

Built, verified, healthy, and empty on purpose

Full audit of CT260: the Actual sync-server runs clean on localhost:5006, the ~750-line budget driver covers goals, envelopes, bills, afford-checks, plans, and insights, the panel’s Money card renders (with a friendly empty state), and the approval outbox is real, nothing auto-fires, ever. No financial data exists yet by design; Keith seeds his real numbers at the table Tuesday.

Zion’s “educational like Dave Ramsey, competitive, tight-knit” note is handled two ways: the giver-guardrail, weekly cadence, and tidbit rule are already live in the skill, and the full upgrade pass (baby-steps spine, streaks and personal records, verified acceptance run) is written as a fire-off prompt in AgentSetup/RAMSEY-BUDGET-UPGRADE.md for the next usage window.
