✂️ Design-Engineer Split — Migration Plan

Current State

All 6 active design-engineer threads are video-related:

This confirms the split is overdue.

knowme-* files KnowMe design docs
chat-demo/, designs/, mindsets-dev/, ai-consultancy-landing/ Web projects
MEMORY.md: Lessons, Infrastructure, Built (web), Credentials, Tools, ACP Memory sections

Shared (copied to both)

Item Notes
memory/2026-04-03.md Critical rules (testing/monitoring) apply to both; seed.show status is DE-only
MEMORY.md: 1Password, Dom's Context, Credentials, ACP, General lessons Both need these

Execution Plan (ordered to minimize downtime)

Phase 1 — Prep (no restart)

  1. Write all videographer workspace files to a staging dir (/tmp/videographer-staging/)
    • SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, MINDSET.md, HEARTBEAT.md, TOOLS.md, MEMORY.md
  2. Write updated design-engineer SOUL.md and MINDSET.md (remove video scope)
  3. Prepare videographer memory/ files

Phase 2 — Create mindset (ONE restart)

  1. mindsets create name=videographer, description=Python procedural video generation...
    • This creates: Discord forum, webhook, agent config, binding, workspace dir, triggers restart

Phase 3 — Post-restart file migration

  1. Copy staging files into new workspace-videographer/
  2. Move video directories from design-engineer → videographer:
    • youtube-gol/, daily-video-series/, explainer-series/, dom-voice-samples/
    • VOICE-CLONE.md, waymo-lofi-test.mp3, avatar/yt screenshots
  3. Move memory/2026-04-05.md → videographer memory
  4. Copy memory/2026-04-03.md → videographer memory (keep in both)
  5. Update design-engineer SOUL.md and MINDSET.md (remove video refs)
  6. Recover dead design-engineer threads (they stay in #design-engineer forum)

Thread Note

Existing threads stay in #design-engineer — Discord threads can't be moved between forums. New video work goes to #videographer. The 6 video threads will naturally close as work completes.


New Videographer Scope

Python procedural video generation (pymunk, PIL), ffmpeg encoding, daily video series (Game of Life, marble races, territory captures, bar chart races, explainers), YouTube upload pipeline, ElevenLabs music/audio, avatar/branding.

Updated Design Engineer Scope

Websites, blogs, Next.js, Tailwind, web prototypes, justin.vin, known.life, seed.show frontend, blog posts, interactive content, Chrome extensions, Cloudflare Workers apps.
