The checklist

Define the assistant identity and role.
Write durable user/business preferences.
Create Mission Control with one highest priority.
Create one active project lane.
Separate long-term memory from project status.
Define safe / ask-first / never actions.
Run one real workflow with evidence.
Run the reset recovery test.

Copy this reset recovery test

Pretend you just reset. Read the startup files and tell me who you are, who you help, what matters now, what project is active, what is blocked, and what safe action you can take next. Do not rely on this chat.

If your assistant cannot answer from files, it does not have a reliable operator system yet.
