Project : Helium Date : 2026-04-11 Agent : AI Assistant Branch : ceo/deep-desk-research-rules
Status : COMPLETE Files Updated : 1 (AGENTS.md) New Rules Added : 3 (RULE 1A, RULE 71, RULE 72) Files Synchronized : 1 (kuro-rules/AGENTS.md)
New Rules Added :
-
RULE 1A: Session Continuity Check — MANDATORY (Equivalent RULE 73 in kuro-rules)
- Location : AGENTS.md:41-68
- Purpose : Agents MUST check SESSION_SUMMARY.md first to continue where session stopped
- Enforcement : STOP if agent asks "what should we do today?" without checking
- Note : RULE 1A stays as 1A in Helium (logically placed after RULE 1)
-
RULE 72: Impeccable Skitt Design System — MANDATORY (Copied from kuro-rules)
- Location : AGENTS.md:3561-3595
- Purpose : ALL design work MUST follow Impeccable Skitt system
- Source : https://github.com/pbakaus/impeccable
- Note : Was missing in Helium, now added to match kuro-rules
-
RULE 74: Session Summary Rules Sync — MANDATORY (Previously RULE 71)
- Location : AGENTS.md:3599-3628
- Purpose : End-of-session sync to kuro-rules mandatory
- Verification : Check for new rules, sync to ~/Documents/kuro-rules/, update SYNC_LOG
- Never end session without syncing
- Note : Renumbered from RULE 71 → RULE 74 to match kuro-rules
-
RULE 75: Deep Desk Research — MANDATORY (Previously RULE 72)
- Location : AGENTS.md:3631-3758
- Purpose : Comprehensive 5-dimension desk research (not surface-level)
- 5 Dimensions : Personas, Competitors, Market Size, Risk Analysis, Gap Analysis
- Quality Thresholds : 3+ personas, 5+ competitors matrix, TAM/SAM/SOM, 5 risks, 3+ gaps
- Enforcement : STOP if research shallow (< 3 dimensions)
- Note : Renumbered from RULE 72 → RULE 75 to match kuro-rules
Lines Modified : ~250 lines added

File : desk_research_report.md Section : Deep Desk Research Analysis (line 223-410)
5 Dimensions Completed :
- Personas — 4 segments (Indie Dev, Student, Researcher, Hobbyist), 6+ verbatim quotes
- Competitors — Feature matrix 6 competitors (Vast.ai, RunPod, Akash, Bittensor, Golem, Helium)
- Market Size — TAM $6.07B, SAM $540M, SOM $5-10M Y1
- Risks — 5 principal risks with probability/impact/remedies
- Gaps — 5 differentiation gaps (trust-based, no-crypto, one-click, community-first, interoperability)
Verdict : GO — All 5 dimensions validated

Impact : All references to "Concierge MVP" replaced with "MVP Technique" Reason : Clarification du type de MVP — validation manuelle technique plutôt que service conciergerie
Impact : Desk Research (AI-Powered) now valid alternative to Mom Test Threshold : 10+ verified sources, 3+ behavioral proofs Equivalence : Desk Research + MVP (1 transaction) + 2 interviews = 5 Mom Test interviews
Impact : All sources MUST be verified with mcp1_fetch or search_web Forbidden : "I read somewhere", "People say", unverified URLs Requirement : 80% of sources must be verifiable (8/10 minimum)
Impact : Pivot in 1 day if Mom Test fails Timeline : 4h Desk Research + 4h MVP prototype Speed : With Claude, pivot complete in 1 day vs 1-2 months traditional
Impact : Helium Communities positioned as trust network, not anonymous market Value : 10x cheaper than cloud, private data, simple UX, community-based

- AGENTS.md updated with alternative methods
- kuro-rules/AI_GUIDELINES.md synchronized
- kuro-rules/AGENTS.md synchronized
- No emojis in any files (Rule 9)

Status : COMPLETE
Trigger : User request for gitignore protection rule per RULE 74
New Rule : RULE 76 (Session Gitignore Protection Analysis)
New Template : .gitignore_template in kuro-rules
-
RULE 76: Session Gitignore Protection Analysis — MANDATORY
- Location : AGENTS.md:3763-3891 (Helium), kuro-rules/AGENTS.md:3880-3968
- Purpose : End-of-session analysis of all files for sensitivity classification
- Protection Levels : CRITICAL (strategy), HIGH (credentials), MEDIUM (data), LOW (temp), PUBLIC (code)
- Mandatory Actions : SCAN → CLASSIFY → CHECK → PROTECT → DOCUMENT
- Sync Requirement : Updates to .gitignore MUST sync to kuro-rules/.gitignore_template
- Per Rule 74, immediately synced to kuro-rules
-
kuro-rules/.gitignore_template Created
- Purpose : Standardized .gitignore template for all projects
- Sections : Strategy (CRITICAL), Secrets (HIGH), Data (MEDIUM), Build (LOW), IDE/OS
- Reference Implementation : All projects MUST use this template as base
-
kuro-rules/AGENTS.md Updated
- Added : RULE 74, 75, 76 (were missing from kuro-rules)
- Verification : All 76 rules now present in both Helium and kuro-rules
- Note : RULE 74, 75 were already in Helium but missing in kuro-rules — now synced
| File | Source | Destination | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| RULE 76 | Helium/AGENTS.md | kuro-rules/AGENTS.md | ✅ |
| RULE 74, 75 | Helium/AGENTS.md | kuro-rules/AGENTS.md | ✅ |
| .gitignore_template | New | kuro-rules/.gitignore_template | ✅ |
- Helium
.gitignoreprotects all CRITICAL files (docs/strategy/*.md) -
moat.mdcorrectly classified as CRITICAL and protected -
helium/source code correctly classified as PUBLIC - No sensitive files exposed in current session
- Protection review documented in SESSION_SUMMARY.md
- kuro-rules has complete rule parity with Helium
-
.gitignore_templateavailable for future projects
