Organization profile

Boundary between reusable Conductor core and organization-specific configuration. M0 established the classification; M6 implements the full onboarding and multi-organization contracts in its decision package and the organization-profile.v1 schema.

See Authority model and System components.

Layering

text Conductor core model + organization profile and organization policy corpus + environment adapters and credentials + Initiative / workstream / Asset / Product state + derived indexes (estate, search, caches) + compiled pack

Layer What it holds Who changes it
Conductor core Reusable concepts, contracts, and compiler semantics Product architecture; governed core releases
Organization profile How this organization maps onto core, including required secret names and provider bindings Hector through governed configuration
Environment adapters Provider endpoints, host wiring, and runtime connection to the secret provider Platform configuration; not packs
Secret values Actual credential material Secret provider only; resolved at runtime with least privilege
State Live Initiatives, workstreams, Products, Assets, events Executing agents and humans in authoritative stores
Derived index Searchable projections with provenance Indexer only; never system of record

Organization overlays may specialize core defaults. They must not silently redefine core semantics. Unresolved onboarding questions remain explicit gaps.

Classification matrix

Concern Layer Notes
Initiative, workstream, stage, inventory, pack, authorization concepts Core Universal Conductor model
Lines as abstract departments (Portfolio, Product, Software, Editorial, Services, Operate) Core Structure is reusable
Concrete role IDs and tooling matrix entries for Hector's org Organization profile + org corpus May differ for another org
Hector identity and approver GitHub logins Organization profile Not core vocabulary
Approval comment protocol shape (Conductor-Approval: approve) Core pattern Allowlisted identities are organization profile
Notion as Initiative SoR pattern Core (adapter-ready) Provider workspace IDs and DB IDs are organization / adapter
GitHub as software evidence SoR pattern Core (adapter-ready) Org names (hector-sanchez-eu, Konstant-Ventures) are organization profile
Specific repositories and estate membership State (Assets) + organization source inventory Profile names allowed orgs; Assets name repos
Secret provider pattern Core How Conductor asks for secrets by name
Required secret names and provider bindings Organization profile / adapter configuration Configuration references only
Secret values Secret provider only Never in corpus, packs, state, indexes, or profile docs
Domains, hosts, deploy defaults (*.hectorsanchez.eu, VPS, Tailscale) Organization profile Core must stay host-agnostic
Prototype / Lab / Portfolio-org estate vocabulary Organization profile Core may speak of “estate class”; labels are org-specific
WIP limits and review cadence Organization profile / org policy Core defines that Portfolio can set them
Privacy classes and redaction rules Core concepts; org assigns classes to data Services privacy boundaries are org policy
Calendar for timed attention Core pattern Calendar account is adapter
Bitwarden project and machine account wiring Environment adapters Values stay in the secret provider
MCP auth token name and runtime URLs Organization profile / adapter config Token value is secret-provider only
Experience and candidate store schemas Core Retention and review cadence defaults may be org profile
Generated docs under docs/generated/ Derived Not profile; not authority

Secret names versus secret values

Item Authoritative place May appear in packs/docs/state?
Secret name (e.g. CONDUCTOR_MCP_AUTH_TOKEN) Organization profile or adapter configuration Yes, as a reference
Provider binding (which vault/project) Organization profile or adapter configuration Yes, as a reference
Secret value Secret provider only Never

Runtime secret resolution loads values with least privilege when a permitted component needs them. Missing values fail explicitly.

Core must not encode

As universal Conductor concepts, core schemas and contracts must not hard-require:

  • Hector's name or GitHub login as the only possible approver identity
  • Specific GitHub organization or repository names
  • Specific Notion workspace or database IDs
  • Specific domains, hosts, or VPS addresses
  • Prototype / Lab / Portfolio-org as the only possible estate taxonomy
  • Workspace monorepo paths or AGENTS.md trees outside Conductor
  • Secret values

Those belong in the organization profile, adapters, secret provider, or state.

Overlay rules

  1. Specialize, do not replace. An overlay may constrain options (for example, allowed estate classes) without removing the core estate concept.
  2. Explicit gaps. If the profile lacks a required binding (approver list, Notion parent, GitHub org inventory, required secret names), Conductor reports a gap; it does not invent values from local machine context.
  3. No silent authority upgrade. Organization policy cannot turn authorized into human-approved, or turn the estate index into the Asset system of record.
  4. Corpus split. Reusable workflow shapes may live in core-oriented units; Hector-specific defaults and inventories live in organization corpus or profile. M2 defines packaging details (D-10).
  5. First release. Portable clients talk to Hector's hosted Conductor instance. Portability of the organization to a second employer is deferred to M6; boundaries here keep that path open.

Minimum profile fields

The organization-profile.v1 schema and M6 interview now implement these categories. Missing required answers remain typed blocking gaps.

  • Approver identities and human judgment contacts
  • Role and line bindings in use
  • Notion provider and Initiative/Product/Asset location references
  • GitHub provider, allowed users/orgs, and default estate mapping rules
  • Secret provider and required secret names (not values)
  • Default domains, hosts, and deployment posture
  • Estate class vocabulary (for Hector: Prototype, Lab, Portfolio-org)
  • Portfolio WIP and review-cadence defaults
  • Privacy classes and which roles may see which classes

Unresolved items stay gaps

Until filled, the following remain explicit gaps rather than implied from a developer laptop:

  • Approved GitHub enumeration scope (D-03)
  • Physical Notion database layout (D-01)
  • Read-credential permission matrix (D-04)
  • Per-client production authentication mapping to organization_id; the current shared-token MCP surface remains candidate-only for onboarding

Downstream use (after external M0 verification)

Until M0 is externally verified, treat this document as provisional remediation. After verification:

  • M1 stores Assets and Initiatives as state; estate class labels come from this org's vocabulary.
  • M2 migrates corpus without promoting Hector-specific IDs into core.
  • M3 tools accept organization profile as configuration, not as hard-coded constants in core logic.
