Session Report

2026-07-15 · session agent-reach-platform-setup · workspace root C:/Users/valte/Code/valter · branch main

Spanned 3 repos: ai-dev-brain + skills (both committed/pushed) and on-disk tools/ + ~/.claude.json + memory.

Summary

Started from an /implement handoff that turned out to be a closeout (the adb worktree queue was already shipped), so I picked its one deferred item and made the ad-hoc ctrl+shift+` Claude terminal work on Windows in ai-dev-brain — shipped as PR #230, merged, Jenkins #42 green. That momentum turned into a run of capability-building: grew a new ticket-progress-report skill and elevated it into a single unified CEO status view (a cross-session team norm), answered an omnictx capture question about a WhatsApp meeting (privacy-safe: not captured), then wired Claude to the live internet — installed and tested Agent-Reach (7/15 channels), registered the Exa web/code-search MCP, and built a custom agent-reach-mcp server exposing 9 native internet-reach tools. Closed by (correctly) committing nothing: the workspace repo's fail-closed allowlist excludes tools/ by design.

Timeline

/implement a handoff → recognized it as a closeout (adb queue already shipped); asked rather than manufacture work.
Picked the deferred item: ad-hoc ctrl+shift+` Claude on Windows. Made composeAdhocCommand platform-aware (bare claude on win32, mirroring #227). 293/293 tests, code-review clean → issue #229 → PR #230 → merged (7e76529) → Jenkins #42 SUCCESS.
/grow-skills: dedup found session-report is session-scoped → built a new ticket-progress-report skill (adb-first, themed HTML, portfolio rollup + per-ticket cards); dogfooded a live report over the real backlog.
Per your directive, made it a team norm: ONE canonical reports/ticket-progress.html (CEO view) every session refreshes, + an "Active sessions" lens — encoded in the skill, the session-coordination skill, and memory.
omnictx / WhatsApp: confirmed omnictx is live but ambient capture is allowlist-only → the WhatsApp meeting is not captured; flagged the account-suspension/privacy caveat.
Agent-Reach: installed CLI + backends (yt-dlp, bili, twitter, mcporter, opencli); solved two Windows gotchas (npm WinError 2 → hand-install; cp1252 crash → PYTHONUTF8=1); 7/15 channels live-tested; Exa search free/no-key.
Connected Claude to the world (MCP): registered the Exa web/code-search MCP (user scope); built tools/agent-reach-mcp (9 tools) and registered it — both ✔ Connected.
/commit + /push: discovered tools/ is excluded by the repo's fail-closed allowlist (like emails-mcp/bots-mcp) → chose option 1: leave on-disk (already durable). Left other sessions' 3 unpushed commits untouched.

Artifacts produced

File	What it is
tools/agent-reach-mcp/…/server.py	Custom MCP server — 9 native internet-reach tools (web/code search, read_url, github, youtube, bilibili, v2ex, rss, status); UTF-8-safe subprocess routing
tools/agent-reach-mcp/pyproject.toml + README.md	Package (FastMCP, matches emails-mcp/bots-mcp pattern) + docs
`skills` repo: `personal/ticket-progress-report/` (SKILL.md + report-template.html + gather-adb-progress.sh)	New skill: themed HTML adb progress reports — committed `507984f` / unified `640e04d`, pushed
reports/ticket-progress.html	The canonical unified CEO progress view (+ archived first run under `reports/archive/`)
memory: agent-reach-installed.md, ceo-progress-report-norm.md	Durable notes: Agent-Reach setup + Windows gotchas; the unified-CEO-report norm

`skills`: `workflow/session-coordination/SKILL.md`	Documented the unified CEO report as a shared team artifact (in `640e04d`)
memory: `adb-windows-launch-bug.md`, `skills-repo.md`, `MEMORY.md`	Marked all 3 Windows launch paths fixed; plugin.json-drift gotcha; index lines
wiki/live.md	Registered this session on the coordination board
`~/.claude.json`	Registered 2 MCP servers (user scope): `exa` + `agent-reach` — both ✔ Connected

Key decisions

Fix the ad-hoc terminal, not re-plan — the handoff was a closeout; you chose the deferred cc-survive item.
New skill, not extend session-report; adb-first → personal/; rollup + per-ticket; self-contained-from-shared-tokens theme — all confirmed by you up front.
The progress report is ONE unified CEO view the whole team keeps current (your directive) → encoded as a cross-session norm, not a per-session file.
MCP honesty: only Exa is a real upstream MCP → registered it; the other channels needed a custom wrapper (built) rather than pretending they were MCP servers.
Leave agent-reach-mcp on-disk (option 1) — the workspace repo's fail-closed allowlist intentionally excludes tools/ (same as emails-mcp/bots-mcp); no git add -f.

Tasks

This session created no adb tickets. The Windows fix was tracked as GitHub issue #229 → PR #230 in the ai-dev-brain repo (ADR-0002 issue-native), not as an adb TASK. The many new TASK-000xx tickets and backlog.yaml/ticket edits in this workspace's git status belong to other concurrent sessions and are deliberately excluded here.

Sources & caveats

Fact sources used this run: git (3 repos) MCP registry (claude mcp) memory files on-disk verification adb (other sessions).

Heavy concurrency caveat. This workspace ran many parallel Claude sessions today (sphere-digest, brain-live 3D, higgsfield, /diary, TASK-00020–33, another session's own session-report at 23:10). The workspace git status + mtime scan are dominated by their work — I listed only artifacts I can trace to this session's own actions/commits (verified via the skills & ai-dev-brain repo logs, the MCP registry, and files I created).

Recap reflects available context + git facts; a long/compacted session may omit earlier steps. File lists are derived from git + on-disk verification, not memory.
