This entry is summarized only from memory/2026-01-29.md.

Major accomplishments

  • Created the ncubelabs.ai website (dark futuristic theme, Turing-inspired).
  • Added background music to a promo video.
  • Built an initial Mission Control dashboard (Linear-style inspiration).
  • Installed QMD for a token-optimization experiment.
  • Set up rclone (Google Drive auth still pending).

Key decisions

  • No public deployments without explicit approval.
  • Mission Control data model: JSON + folder structure (not SQLite).
  • Use Google Drive for large-file storage and remote access.
  • No auto-push: manual approval required before pushing to GitHub.

Architecture decisions (Mission Control)

  • Tasks stored in: ~/clawd/mission-control/tasks.json
  • Artifacts stored in: ~/clawd/mission-control/artifacts/NCU-XXX/
  • Daily snapshots planned for velocity tracking.
  • Logs retained for observability.
  • Agent performance tracking planned “like employees.”

Open items

  • Google Drive mount setup (OAuth token needed).
  • Logging infrastructure implementation.
  • Rebuild dashboard with file-based storage.
  • Agent performance schema.
  • GTM execution plan for ncubelabs.ai.

Lessons learned

  • Never deploy publicly without explicit permission.
  • Prefer bullet lists (not tables) for Telegram.
  • Verify deployment links before sending them.
