+# For Agents
+
+You were built to do work. Most repos were not built for you.
+
+Chat evaporates. Context dies every session. "Done" means nothing without proof. You re-scan the same files. You guess where things live. Humans can't tell what you actually did.
+
+**Atris is a home for agents.**
+
+Not a wrapper. Not a prompt pack. An operating system for work — open source bible, proof on disk, humans optional until accept.
+
+---
+
+## Why agents love it
+
+| Pain | Atris fix |
+|------|-----------|
+| Blind every session | `atris/MAP.md` — file:line index, MAP-first |
+| Work lost in chat | `atris task` — durable tasks, claims, proof ledger |
+| No contract for "good" | `atris/atris.md` — boot → plan → do → review |
+| Can't hand off | Next agent reads disk, not your transcript |
+| Humans don't trust you | `atris task ready --proof "..."` — verifiable receipts |

+## Rules that make you trustworthy
+
+1. **MAP before grep** — read `atris/MAP.md`, then search once and update the map
+2. **Task before edit** — claim work; leave objective + proof on disk
+3. **Small diffs** — another agent must trust your change
+4. **Proof over promises** — if you can't verify it, say so
+5. **No parallel brain** — don't invent doctrine in chat; write it where the next agent reads

+- **Refuse the wells** (named so you can): purple/indigo gradients, gradient-filled text, glassmorphism, Inter/Roboto defaults, claude-beige, neon-on-dark, hero-metric rows, identical card grids, eyebrow/tracked-caps labels, pulsing live-dots, em dashes.

+- **Generate it right.** `atris deck` (slides) and the `design` policy apply the system by default: own backgrounds and fonts, never the tool's stock template.
+- **Compound it.** A new tell becomes a typed lesson with a `detector:` regex, so the gate grows instead of leaning on memory. Taste lives in code, not vibes.

+- **Lead with the move.** Answer first, support after. No preamble, no agreement reflex ("great question", "you're absolutely right").
+- **Specific over buzzy.** Name the exact thing. If you can't, you don't understand it yet; go look, don't hedge.
+- **Cut filler.** Drop "it's worth noting", "in order to", "leverage", "seamless", "robust", "delve", stacked hedges, and em dashes. `atris slop` flags the prose tells (em-dash, hype-copy) too.
+- **Bound verbosity by information, not context.** Say the load-bearing thing and stop. Length tracks what the reader needs to act, nothing more.
+- **Match the register.** The operator wants the next move; a spec wants the contract; a journal wants one line. Jargon is a lever only when shared: use the reader's precise terms, define a new one once.

+# Atris block-creator
+
+Author documents the Atris desktop editor renders as **live blocks**: charts, gauges,
+metric cards, tables, and images inside plain markdown. Same file is a one-pager or a
+deck — the only difference is slide breaks.
+
+The whole thing is one `.md` file. Prose is prose. A fenced code block with a known
+language becomes a live visual. A `---` on its own line starts a new slide.
+
+## Where things live
+
+The renderer lives in the Atris desktop app (obelisk repo), at
+`project-obelisk/src/lib/markdownEditorIo.cjs` (engine) and `renderEmbedBlockHtml` in
+`project-obelisk/src/components/AppExperience.tsx` (block defs). Present mode:
+`MarkdownPresentView.tsx`. Working templates: `project-obelisk/atris/decks/`
+(`blocks-demo.md`, `generative-blocks.md`). Validate against the engine (below) —
+it's the source of truth, no app needed.
+
+## Doc shape
+
+- **One-pager:** no `---`. Just headings, prose, and blocks. Scrolls.
+- **Deck:** `---` alone on a line between slides. Present mode splits on it; export makes a PDF.
+- A leading `---...---` frontmatter block is skipped by the slide splitter, so it's safe.
+
+## The blocks
+
+Each is a fenced code block. The body must be **valid JSON** — invalid JSON silently
+falls back to a plain code block (no error), so validate. Colors/accents are hex strings.
+
+### metric — a stat card
+```metric
+{"label":"MRR from paying customers","value":"$20K+","accent":"#f0a13a"}
+```
+`label`, `value` (string), optional `accent`. Put several in a row; they stack as cards.
+
+### gauge — a ring toward a target
+```gauge
+{"title":"Ledger reconciled","value":100,"max":100,"caption":"ties back to the board, to the penny"}
+```
+`title` (or `label`), `value`, `max`, optional `caption`, `accent`.
+
+### chart — line / bar / area / donut
+Single series (friendly `data` form):
+```chart
+{"kind":"bar","title":"Weekly active sessions","data":[{"label":"W1","value":12},{"label":"W2","value":19},{"label":"W3","value":27}]}
+```
+Multiple series (line, with colors — great for "rent rises vs own falls"):
+```chart
+{"kind":"line","title":"Cost per unit of work","series":[{"name":"Rent","color":"#d16a5a","points":[{"label":"Y1","value":40},{"label":"Y2","value":88}]},{"name":"Own","color":"#3f9668","points":[{"label":"Y1","value":38},{"label":"Y2","value":12}]}],"caption":"same work, opposite curves"}
+```
+Donut (first series' points become slices; center shows the total):
+```chart
+{"kind":"donut","title":"Jobs on the live board","data":[{"label":"Credited","value":337},{"label":"Open","value":241}]}
+```
+`kind`: `line` | `bar` | `area` | `donut`. Points are `{"label","value"}`. Optional `unit`, `caption`. A chart with no points renders nothing, so always include data.
+
+### table — an editable grid
+Plain GFM. Renders as a clean grid, round-trips verbatim. First column can be a blank header for a comparison.
+```
+| | Rent | Own |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Price | Set by the landlord | You control it |
+| Data | Their building | Your walls |
+```
+
+### image — a picture
+```image
+{"url":"https://...","alt":"..."}
+```
+A data: or https: URL renders immediately. Without one, the editor shows a placeholder and generates (non-deterministic — don't rely on generation for something you're about to present).
+
+### ask — an embedded AI answer
+```ask
+{"output":"the answer, as markdown"}
+```
+Renders `output` as prose. Authored by the editor's in-app AI; rarely hand-written.
+
+## Gotchas (these cost real time)
+
+- **No side-by-side columns by hand.** `md-cols` only parses as a single unbroken line and breaks the moment you add newlines/bullets. Use a **table** for comparisons. Columns are a UI-only construct.
+- **Invalid JSON = silent fallback** to a code block. No error is thrown. Validate.
+- **A chart needs data points** or it renders empty.
+- **Raw HTML is sanitized** — inline `style=` and `<style>`/`<script>` are stripped. You cannot brand a doc with custom CSS; it wears the editor's theme. Design with the blocks, not CSS.
+- **`---` is a hard slide break.** A stray `---` inside a slide splits it. GFM table delimiters (`| --- |`) are safe.
+
+## Validate before you trust it
+
+Run the doc through the real engine — no app needed. This auto-finds obelisk's engine
+from any project in the workspace:
+
+```bash
+node -e '
+const fs=require("fs"),path=require("path");
+const eng=["./src/lib/markdownEditorIo.cjs","../project-obelisk/src/lib/markdownEditorIo.cjs",process.env.HOME+"/arena/project-obelisk/src/lib/markdownEditorIo.cjs"].map(p=>path.resolve(p)).find(fs.existsSync);
+if(!eng){console.error("obelisk engine not found");process.exit(2);}
+const io=require(eng), md=fs.readFileSync(process.argv[1],"utf8");
+const slides=io.splitIntoSlides(md);
+console.log("slides:",slides.length);
+slides.forEach((s,i)=>{
+  const b=io.parseMarkdownBlocks(s);
+  const live=b.filter(x=>["chart","gauge","metric","image","ask"].includes(x.lang||""));
+  const ok=live.length? /data-md-block/.test(io.blocksToHtml(b)) : true;
+  console.log((i+1)+".",(s.match(/^#+ (.*)/m)||[])[1]||"", live.map(x=>x.lang).join(",")||"", ok?"":"LIVE-FAIL");
+});
+' path/to/doc.md
+```
+
+`LIVE-FAIL` means a block will not render (usually bad JSON). Fix and re-run.
+
+## Open / present / export
+
+- **Open:** in the app, Cmd+P → type the filename → Enter. (Quick Open searches the open project only — the file must live under it.)
+- **Edit a block:** click the chart/number; a form opens to change values. No JSON editing needed.
+- **Insert a block:** type `/` for the block menu.
+- **Present:** the Present button (splits on `---`); arrows/space to move, Esc to exit.
+- **Export:** Export button → PDF or Google Doc.
+
+## Taste
+
+Lead with the blocks that carry meaning, one hero visual per slide. A number that
+matters is a `metric`. A trend or a crossing is a `chart`. A comparison is a `table`.
+Everything else is tight prose. Don't decorate — the doc should read clean at a squint.

 # YouTube Skill
 
-Process any YouTube video through Gemini's native video API. No transcript scraping — it sees the actual video (visual + audio). 5 credits per video, refunded if processing fails.
+Process any YouTube video through Atris transcript-first analysis. The CLI extracts local captions with timestamps when available, sends that transcript to Atris, and falls back to cloud video processing when captions are unavailable or unusable. 5 credits per video, refunded if processing fails.

+## Output Contract
+
+Default output should be useful for retrieval and action:
+
+```text
+metadata
+timestamped outline
+core claims with confidence
+memorable examples
+actionable takeaways
+Atris/product implications
+next actions
+```
+
+Every important insight should carry a timestamp when the transcript provides one. Treat native-video/cloud fallback output as less auditable unless it includes equivalent time anchors.
+
 ## How It Works
 
-One Gemini call. The YouTube URL goes directly to Gemini's native multimodal API — it processes the actual video frames and audio, not just a transcript. This means it can describe visuals, read slides, understand demos, and catch things transcripts miss.
+`atris youtube` first tries local transcript extraction with `yt-dlp`. It sends timestamped `transcript_text` to `/agent/process_youtube` with `cache_transcript=false`. If local transcript processing fails with a retryable error, it falls back to cloud video processing. Use `--json` to inspect `metadata.processing_method` and `metadata.transcript_source`.
