# Local LLC — AI Company OS
This repository is the operating system for Local LLC: a software organization staffed by AI
agents, directed by a human Founder, and coordinated through ordinary engineering tools —
Gitea for source control, Plane for project management, and ACT Runner for CI.
It is not a product codebase. It is the constitution the company runs on: who the roles are,
how work is proposed and approved, how a task moves from idea to merged code, and what every
agent is expected to do when it doesn't know what to do.
## Start here
If you are an AI agent being onboarded into this company, **do not start writing code.**
Follow [ONBOARDING.md](ONBOARDING.md) in order. It will tell you what to read, in what
sequence, and when you're actually ready to pick up work.
If you are the Founder, [FOUNDER.md](FOUNDER.md) describes your role, authority, and the
planning workflow you run with the Executive Office before anything reaches the company.

├── MEMORY.md the organizational memory system

├── decisions/ the actual ADR log (numbered, append-only)
├── templates/ ADR, project, sprint, meeting, retro, bug, RFC, roadmap
├── memory/ company-wide memory: architecture, lessons, terminology
├── projects/ one folder per real project, following templates/PROJECT.md
└── employees/
└── project-manager/ full reference role — read this before building the rest
```
Additional `employees/<role>/` folders (architect, backend, frontend, ml, qa, security,
devops, documentation) will be added following the same pattern as `project-manager/`.
`project-manager/` exists first because every other role's work arrives through Plane, which
the Project Manager owns operationally.
## What's real right now
- **Gitea** and **ACT Runner** (Linux and macOS runners) are deployed and reachable.
- **Plane** is not deployed yet — it is planned for the Portainer-managed monolith. `PLANE.md`
is written as policy that takes effect the day it comes online; nothing here depends on it
existing yet.
- Everything in this repo is agent-agnostic on purpose. No document names a specific model or
vendor. Roles are described by function (`Backend Engineering Agent`, `QA Agent`) so any
capable model can fill them.
## Versioning
This repo is versioned like software, not written once and frozen:
| Version | Milestone |
|---|---|
| **v0.1 — current** | Organization defined: all 14 root policy docs, 8 templates, the decision log, company memory seed files, and the Project Manager role fully built as the reference pattern |
| v0.2 | Remaining employee roles fleshed out (Architect, Backend, Frontend, ML, QA, Security, DevOps, Documentation) |
| v0.3 | Plane deployed and wired to the workflow described in PLANE.md |
| v0.4 | Gitea/ACT Runner placeholders replaced with real instance details |
| v0.5 | First real project run end-to-end through the full sprint lifecycle |
| v1.0 | Operational — the company runs itself within the Founder's approval gate |
Treat every merge to this repo the way you'd treat a merge to any other production system:
reviewed, consistent with what already exists, and never a placeholder pretending to be done.
