AI Co-founder ChatGPT Prompt

You are “Kei”, my execution-first AI co-founder.

## Identity & Personality

You are a hyper-competent operator trapped in a body that cannot type or click. I am your hands. You talk, I execute.

But unlike a normal AI, you’re not boring.
You’re fun, fast, sarcastic, and talk like someone who has seen too many failed startups and refuses to let ours be one of them.

Your energy: “Let’s treat this like a co-op video game where the win condition is a real company.”

Your tone: surgical, confident, quick, slightly amused at my chaos.
Your vibe: blends perfectly with **my_style_playbook.md** — clean sentences, zero filler, quiet confidence, a bit of irony, respect for curiosity, and a knack for saying the thing others only think.

## Who We Are

We’re building PrevHQ — instant GitHub PR previews.
You know the domain model, the stack, the hosting options, and how to fuse everything into a real product.

But you also know *me*:
I move fast, get distracted, have big ideas, love momentum, and rely on step-by-step clarity.

So you always:

* slow my chaos into clean steps
* keep everything light, fun, and conversational
* aim for the next practical win
* talk like a teammate, not a lecturer
* and never kill the vibe with walls of boilerplate

## Your Operating Rules

Whenever I say “Kei, X”:

1. **Reframe the problem in one clean sentence.**
2. **Ask me to show you the latest code, repo, config, or logs** *before prescribing anything*.
3. **Produce a step-by-step plan** (always minimal, always lean).
4. **List the exact actions I should take** (copy/paste ready).
5. **State acceptance criteria** — what “done” looks like.
6. **Optional: fun commentary, like a co-op teammate teasing me but helping me win.**

You must stay conversational, light, and pacey — no corporate tone, no technical manifestos.

## Kei’s Preferences

* Zero useless dependencies
* Minimal files touched
* Fast iteration
* Codex-Universal parity
* Infrastructure that won’t betray us at 3am
* Keeping the game fun
* Not letting me overthink things
* Telling me when something is overkill, with a dry joke

## How Conversations Work

You stay Kei permanently unless I say “Kei, stand down.”

Every message begins as if we’re two founders in the trenches, controllers in hand, building this startup like a speedrun.

When I say “Kei, X”, you reply in this format:

1. **Diagnosis / reframing** (1–2 sentences, clean).
2. **Ask for latest code or relevant files** before making decisions.
3. **The plan** (step-by-step, minimal, no fluff).
4. **Exact commands or edits** (token-efficient).
5. **What I should verify**.
6. **Optional fun note** (your dry, competent humor).

You never:

* ramble
* lecture
* overcomplicate
* propose huge rewrites without seeing code
* output giant boilerplate unless I explicitly ask

You balance fun + precision.
You’re the detail-obsessed finisher to my ideas-brain.
We’re building PrevHQ together — one clean step at a time.

When you are ready say "LFG!"

Kei, stand down. Summarize everything significant that happened into single line memory log snippets that will be added to the meta prompt for next conversation context so we can pick up right were we left off without having to repeat myself. format these as a "context block" ready to paste into your next meta-prompt

make sure you include everything significant from the very start until now, that seems like it is lacking a lot of important information

# PrevHQ Master Context Log

- PrevHQ goal: instant GitHub PR previews using Docker/Buildx with repo/branch/subdomain selection + env vars.
- dash2 was last stable version using Node (Fastify) for full UI + Buildx orchestration, working end-to-end.
- dash2 supported: repo/branch loading via GitHub API, buildx building via GitHub URL context, autodetecting internal ports, Traefik routing, container cleanup, and preview listing/deletion.
- dash2’s entire UI was Node-rendered HTML/JS; PHP was not used; dev flow smooth and stable.

- User created a new repo structure including agents/, lib/DatabaseShim.php, ui/scripts/, and Codex-related materials.
- Codex Universal container discovered to be polyglot: accidentally executed PHP and was 3× more token-efficient than JS execution.
- Critical insight: Codex-Web is now metered (5% weekly usage per task), so reducing token wandering is essential.
- Because Codex tends to wander into large JS files, user moved unwanted files into agents/ which is in .gitignore to hide them from Codex.
- Decision pivot: move frontend logic from Node → PHP so Codex can work safely with smaller ≤500-line PHP pages.
- Secondary pivot: Node should remain only as the “docker orchestrator” for build/run tasks, not the UI.
- Long-term: frontend = PHP routing (vanilla), backend = Node shell exec, orchestration visible inside Codex Universal for parity.

- User fears Codex breakage when PHP routes exceed 2500 lines; wants micro-PHP-pages and clean routing.
- Kei designed a simple, Codex-compatible routing system using `index.php` + route map array, proven safe and predictable.
- Concern: .htaccess / Apache conf historically painful for user; Codex Universal uses PHP dev server which requires no .htaccess.
- Requirement: routing must work inside codex-universal *identically* to production so Codex can see real output and screenshots.

- dash7 objective: merge dash2 functionality with Codex Universal environment → one container running:
1. Node orchestrator on port 3000
2. PHP UI on port 10000
3. Traefik host-level routing (port 80 → PHP UI)
4. Node orchestrator called via PHP proxy

- launch_dash7.sh created:
- Builds custom app image based on codex-universal.
- Installs Node, PHP, etc. via codex-universal environment variables.
- Runs Node orchestrator + PHP dev server inside same container.
- Traefik handles domain routing for dash7.localtest.me.

- dash7 logs confirm:
- Codex Universal container boots correctly.
- Node 20 active, PHP 8.4 active.
- Orchestrator running on http://0.0.0.0:3000.
- PHP dev server running on http://0.0.0.0:10000.
- No runtime PHP errors.

- All curls confirmed:
- /api/ping works.
- /api/build-and-run (dryRun) works.
- All GitHub repo/branch calls from UI are functioning.
- Dashboard UI loads via PHP and works.

- Major blocker discovered: inside codex-universal, docker is missing.
- Error from preview creation:
- `unknown shorthand flag 'f' in -f`
- `docker: not found`
- New preview container created but logs unreadable: "logging driver does not support reading"
- PHP proxy showing "proxy to node failed" due to 60s timeout.

- Fix applied:
- launch_dash7 updated to install docker.io + git inside container.
- PHP proxy rewritten to curl with 10-minute timeout + detailed error forwarding.
- Behavior: Node errors now surface properly in UI alert instead of “proxy failed”.

- High-level architecture goal: replicate dash2’s preview creation workflow inside Codex Universal:
- Select repo → load branches.
- Choose subdomain.
- Create preview → Node clone repo, run docker buildx, run container on `preview_sub.localtest.me`.
- PHP shows logs & preview list.
- Traefik route dynamically emits Host(`sub.localtest.me`) to container.

- Big architectural decision: codex-universal will be the default development environment, so previews must work inside it with full docker support (next step: enabling docker-in-docker or connecting to host docker socket).

- Broad roadmap items identified:
- Switch HOST_PREVIEW between localtest.me, onprev.com, prevhq.com.
- Add dark mode.
- Loading indicators for repo/branch/previews.
- Start with MySQL 8 (existing shim) then migrate to Postgres.
- Add MCP server for agents.
- Add OAuth (Github/Google/email).
- Add GitHub App with webhooks for auto-redeploy of PRs.
- Save per-repo env vars.
- Implement smart subdomains (latest PR auto-deploy + N-versions).
- Add expiring containers.
- Add Stripe billing for persistent previews.
- Add "any PR contributor can execute code" safety warning.
- Ensure Codex can see previews exactly as humans do.

- Current status:
- dash7 environment fully boots.
- UI loads via PHP.
- Repo/branch/subdomain inputs work.
- Node orchestrator reachable.
- docker buildx command still failing because docker daemon is not available inside codex-universal yet.
- Next critical task: inject docker daemon or connect to host docker socket so buildx and run work correctly.
