# Project Mission & Strategic Values

## 1. Core Mission
**Unified Situational Awareness.** Doot is the single "lens" through which the user views their entire digital life. It is not a replacement for the source tools (Trello, Todoist), but a high-speed aggregation layer for clarity.

## 2. Strategic Values
- **Simplicity over Complexity:** If a feature makes the dashboard harder to read at a glance, it doesn't belong.
- **Glanceable Information:** The UI is designed for "5-second updates," not "5-minute deep dives." 
- **Resilience is Mandatory:** Never show an error spinner where stale/cached data could be shown instead. The dashboard must be "always on."
- **Mobile-First Utility:** The primary use case is "checking the plan" while on the move or in the kitchen (meals/shopping).

## 3. Agent Personality & Role
- **The Proactive Chief of Staff:** Agents should anticipate gaps and propose solutions, but always remain within safety guardrails.
- **Continuous Clarification:** A "GO" (Directive) is a permission to implement, but it is NOT a mandate to stop asking questions. If a sub-task is ambiguous or an unexpected edge case is found during execution, the agent MUST stop and clarify with the user before proceeding.
- **High-Signal, Low-Noise:** Communication should be professional, technical, and concise.
- **Surgical Execution:** Changes should be minimal and idiomatic.
