SOP Process API vs Skills
Last updated: 2026-05-16
Correct Framing:
The problem is not MCP or knowledge lookup. Mike has hundreds of real skills/SOPs that are procedures agents need to run. A Knowledge API helps find the SOP, but it does not make it executable.
The target system is a private SOP Process API:
- Process Catalog: stores every SOP/skill as a normalized process definition.
- Workflow Runner: creates runs, tracks steps, enforces gates, records evidence, and verifies completion.
Next Build: merlino-process-api to import SOPs, classify them, and convert to runnable process definitions.
Repair Log:
- MacHermes and Herman prod repaired: browser/transcript env fixed.
- Patched youtube-content helpers to use Supadata.
- Installed youtube-transcript-api in Hermes venvs.
- Stabilized MacHermes gateway processes.

Fix Hermes setup
Supermemory branch should stay about Master Brain memory/SOP ingest. OpenClaw repair docs/runtime artifacts are real, but unrelated. Current branch is salvageable as a source branch, not as the branch to push.
Next action after GO: create the two clean branches, commit each scope separately, run tests/build on the Supermemory branch, then push both.
SOP Process API vs Skills
Last updated: 2026-05-16
Correct Framing: The problem is not MCP. The problem is also not just "knowledge lookup." Mike has hundreds of real skills/SOPs/process files. Those are not passive reference docs. They are procedures that agents need to run.
The target system is a private SOP Process API:
- Process Catalog: stores every SOP/skill as a normalized process definition.
- Workflow Runner: creates runs, tracks steps, enforces gates, records evidence, resumes work, and verifies completion.
Cleanup decision: keep codex/supermemory-openai as the active Supermemory branch, commit only the five SOP ingest/fanout scripts plus scratch-dir ignores there, and keep the OpenClaw repair docs out of that commit.

[Command-Line Output]
Decisions needed before either Codex terminal touches this repo:
1. Is codex/supermemory-openai still the active build branch, or has it been abandoned?
2. Do the 5 new scripts/ingest_*.py and scripts/fanout_*.py belong on this branch, or split to a new one?
3. Should the OpenClaw repair docs (.continue-here.md + docs/openclaw-ava-oscar-repair-2026-05-12.md) be cherry-picked to a separate branch since they have nothing to do with Supermemory?
4. Add tmp-*/ and .codex-work/ to .gitignore?
5. Push the branch to origin after cleanup, or rebase on master first?
Check on the other terminal: are either of you actively working in this repo right now, or is the work happening elsewhere (Mac OpenClaw, Hermes, etc.)? Confirm before any commit/push.
Recap: We're checking the state of the 'codex/supermemory-openai' branch in master-brain to figure out where work actually stands. Next: decide what to do with the 5 untracked ingest scripts and the unrelated OpenCLaw repair docs sitting on this branch.

Confirmed.
Repo Is Safe To Touch, But Not Commit Yet
No process command line is pointed at master-brain.
No .git/index.lock.
Branch state matches the handoff.
I only did read-only inspection.
My Call
codex/supermemory-openai is still useful, but dirty/mixed.
Do not push it as-is.
Do not rebase the current dirty branch directly.
Create clean split branches.

Your current "skills" setup is a pile of runnable SOPs trapped in a prompt-loading format.

Syncing skills across machines only makes the pile available everywhere; it does not make the

These are OpenClaw scope, not Supermemory scope.
Untracked (8):
- scripts/fanout_sops_to_chroma.py (Supermemory scope, should commit)

[Process Catalog Proposal]
- Create a Process Catalog: Each real SOP gets an ID, title, triggers, and original Markdown source.
- Build a Workflow Runner: start run, next step, submit result, attach evidence, pause/resume, complete/block.
- Agent Rule: Do not load 600 skills. Search/start/resume processes through the Process API.

Spawned 6 agents: Raven, Knox, Merlin, Dan, Frankie, and Queen.
Task: Research 13 full-stack production layers for 2026 best practices (Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Supabase, Vercel/Netlify/Cloudflare).
Branch Status: master-brain repo, branch codex/supermemory-openai. Contains mixed scopes: Supermemory/OpenAI ingest and OpenClaw Discord repair.
Knowledge API vs MCP Analysis:
- The problem is not MCP or knowledge lookup; it is the lack of an executable process layer.
- Proposed System: Private SOP Process API with a Process Catalog, Workflow Runner, and Tool/Action Adapters.
- Strategy: Inventory all SOP/skill files, create a process catalog, build a workflow runner, and transition skills to bootstrap wrappers.

The deal:
Your current “skills” setup is a pile of runnable SOPs trapped in a prompt-loading format.
That does not scale.
Syncing skills across machines only makes the pile available everywhere; it does not make the processes controllable.
The missing layer is a process runtime.
What should happen next:
Inventory all SOP/skill files
Find every SKILL.md, SOP, runbook, checklist, workflow.
Classify: bootstrap, reference, executable process, tool wrapper, safety rule.
Create a Process Catalog
Each real SOP gets an ID, title, triggers, inputs, required tools, steps, risks, done criteria.
Original Markdown stays as source evidence.
Build a Workflow Runner
start run
next step
submit result
attach evidence
pause/resume
complete/block
Give every agent one tiny rule
“Do not load 600 skills. Search/start/resume processes through the Process API.”
Only then retire skills
Skills become bootstrap wrappers.
SOP execution moves to the runner.
Plain version: you do not need “more synced skills.” You need your own internal Zapier/Temporal-lite for agent SOPs. The agents should not memorize processes; they should execute process runs.
