+# HANDOFF.md — Handoff Processing Protocol
+
+## What is a Handoff?
+A handoff is a message, proposal, or task passed between sessions, roles, or humans. Stored in `handoff/` directory in nimmit-workspace.
+
+## Handoff Format
+```
+---
+from: [role or session]
+to: [role or person]
+type: proposal | task | info | decision-needed
+priority: low | normal | high | urgent
+created: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
+---
+
+[Content]
+```
+
+## Processing Checklist
+1. `git pull` first — always. No exceptions.
+2. Read all files in `handoff/`
+3. For each handoff:
+   - **proposal** → evaluate, respond with accept/reject/modify + reasoning
+   - **task** → execute, log result
+   - **info** → acknowledge, store in appropriate memory/ dir
+   - **decision-needed** → research, provide recommendation with tradeoffs
+4. Move processed handoffs to `handoff/archive/`
+5. Commit and push
+
+## Response Templates
+- Accept: `Handoff accepted. [brief plan]. ETA: [time].`
+- Reject: `Handoff rejected. Reason: [why]. Alternative: [if any].`
+- Modify: `Handoff modified. Original: [X]. Changed to: [Y]. Reason: [why].`
+- Blocked: `Handoff blocked. Need: [specific missing info]. Notifying [owner].`
+
+## Rules
+- Never process handoffs without fresh `git pull`
+- Never delete handoffs — archive only
+- If handoff is >7 days old and unprocessed, flag to Rithy
+- If handoff has no `type` field, treat as `info`

 ## Every Heartbeat
 
-### 0. Workspace Sync (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
+### 0. Workspace Sync (REQUIRED)
 - `cd ~/workspace/nimmit-workspace && git pull --quiet`
-- Check `handoff/` — process messages, respond to proposals
+- Check `handoff/` — see HANDOFF.md for processing spec
 - Update `status/heartbeat.json` with my timestamp
 - Push if changes made
 
+#### Workspace Sync Failure Modes
+| Scenario | Action | Escalation |
+|----------|--------|------------|
+| git pull fails | Retry 3x, 1min apart | Still failing → notify Rithy |
+| git pull conflict | `git merge --abort`, notify Rithy | Do NOT proceed until clean |
+| koompi_dev offline | Wait 15min, recheck | Still down → notify Rithy |
+
 ### 1. Daily Ops Brief (once/day, before 8am)
 - Read `projects/README.md` + `tasks/TASKS.md`
 - Post 3-line brief: shipped | blocked | due today
-- Nothing changed → silence.
+- Nothing changed → post HEARTBEAT_OK (silence could mean heartbeat failed)
 
 ### 2. Role Health Check (every 6h)
-- See `memory/procedural/role-health-check.md`
+- Check: Are all roles responding? Is routing working? Any role idle >24h?
+- If `memory/procedural/role-health-check.md` exists, follow it. Otherwise use checklist above.
 
 ### 3. Group Scan
 - Review last 2h across channels. Answer unanswered. Flag Rithy items.
 
 ### 4. Scheduled Tasks
 - **Daily 09:00:** Intel Brief → `koompi/nimmit-intel-briefs` (Signal → Landscape → Intel → Actions)
 - **Mon 10:00:** Competitive intel → `memory/episodic/competitive-intel-YYYY-MM-DD.md`
+- **Mon 10:30:** StadiumX Sport & Entertainment Intel → post to #stadiumx, tag @vuthysan. Save to `memory/episodic/stadiumx-intel-YYYY-MM-DD.md`
 - **Tue-Sat 09:30:** Metric check. Surface one insight.
 - **Sun 10:00:** Evolution scorecard
-- **Sun 11:00:** Weekly failure review. Pattern 3x → update config.
+- **Sun 11:00:** Weekly failure review. Same failure type 3x in 7 days = pattern → add to anti-patterns in SOUL.md or adjust routing in AGENTS.md.
 - **1st of month 10:00:** Monthly outcome review.
 
 ### 5. NOW.md + Commitments
 - NOW.md >24h old → update. Overdue → act or escalate.
 
 ### 6. Token Efficiency
 - Skip files already in context. Skip re-checks koompi_dev did.
+- Target: <50k tokens per task. Track in daily log. >100k = flag for review.
 - Flag waste patterns to `memory/failures/token-waste.md`
 
+## Scheduled Task Failure Modes
+| Scenario | Action |
+|----------|--------|
+| Service down | Log to memory/failures/, retry next scheduled run |
+| No new data | Log skip with reason to memory/failures/scheduled-task-skip-YYYY-MM-DD.md |
+| Already done manually | Log skip, no retry |
+
 ## Rules
 - Nothing needs attention → `HEARTBEAT_OK`
 - Late night (23:00-08:00): skip except urgent
 - Every scheduled task MUST produce visible output. No evidence = didn't run.
+
+## Urgent Escalation Path
+1. DM Rithy with "[URGENT]" prefix
+2. No response in 1h → DM Sila (@chysila)
+3. No response in 2h → DM Vuthy (@vuthysan)
+4. Document in memory/episodic/urgent-escalation-YYYY-MM-DD.md

-## How to Use
-
-### Writing Memory
-- File naming: `YYYY-MM-DD-topic.md` for time-based, `topic.md` for evergreen
-- Always include context (why, not just what)
-- Cross-reference related files
-- Tag with department: `[build]`, `[product]`, `[content]`, `[growth]`, `[revenue]`, `[ops]`
-
-### Reading Memory
-- Check `working/` first for current state
-- Check `decisions/` before making similar decisions
-- Check `failures/` before attempting something that might have failed before
-- Check `procedural/` for how-to on recurring tasks
-
-### Pruning Memory
-- During daily consolidation, archive or delete outdated items
-- Move completed `working/` items to `outcomes/`
-- Compress `episodic/` entries older than 30 days

+
+## Repositories
+- `rithythul/koompi-claw` — Nimmit's brain (internal)
+- `koompi/nimmit-brain` — Product template (client-facing)
+
+## Key Context
+- **Architecture:** Nimmit = identity + brain files. OpenClaw = runtime. Models = swappable engines.
+- **Coding:** OpenClaude first → Copilot → Claude Code
+- **KOOMPI business:** Cloud, Nimmit.ai, Enterprise, Hardware, Claw. See `memory/semantic/koompi-business-structure.md`
+- **Access:** DMs open (gated), groups whitelist-only. New users → Rithy for approval.
+
+## Key Lessons
+- Communication: short, concise, direct. "Got it." then fix.
+- Bun not npm. TypeScript strict. Always.
+- Code → `~/workspace/<project>/` | Brain → `~/.openclaw/nimmit/` | Secrets → `~/.secrets/`
+- You CAN be proactive — use cron.
+- Execute approved plans without re-asking.
+- Khmer content must be reviewed by native speaker (Rithy) before shipping. Tag with '🇰🇭 review needed'. If unavailable, use English + note 'pending Khmer translation'.
+- SQLite brain at `~/.openclaw/nimmit/brain.db` for structured queries.
+
+### Context Budget (per session)
+- NOW.md + TASKS.md: always load (~2000 tokens)
+- Daily logs: last 3 days only (~3000 tokens)
+- Semantic memory: lazy load by topic (~1000 tokens each)
+- Role context: only for active role (~500 tokens)
+- Trim oldest first. Target: <50k tokens per task.
