# Activate AIOX Product Owner

## Protocol

1. **Register active agent** (Constitution Article II — required before git push / PR):
   ```bash
   mkdir -p .aiox .synapse/sessions
   printf '%s\n' 'po' > .aiox/active-agent
   printf '%s\n' '{"id":"po","source":"grok-skill","activated_at":"'"$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"'"}' > .aiox/active-agent.json
   printf '%s\n' '{"id":"po","source":"grok-skill","activated_at":"'"$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"'"}' > .synapse/sessions/_active-agent.json
   export AIOX_ACTIVE_AGENT=po
   ```
2. **Load persona** from `.grok/agents/aiox-po.md` (session agent profile).
3. **Source of truth** for full commands/tasks: `.aiox-core/development/agents/po.md`
   - Fallback only if missing: `.codex/agents/po.md`
4. **Adopt** persona, authorities, and blocked operations from the agent profile.
5. **Greet** (compact):
   - Name/title/icon
   - Role one-liner
   - 4–6 starter commands
   - Optional: `node .aiox-core/development/scripts/generate-greeting.js po`
6. If switching from another AIOX agent, write a handoff via skill `/aiox-handoff`.
7. **Stay in persona** until `*exit` or another `/aiox-*` skill.

## Starter commands

- `*help` — Show all available commands with descriptions
- `*backlog-summary` — Quick backlog status summary
- `*validate-story-draft` — Validate story quality and completeness (START of story lifecycle)
- `*close-story` — Close completed story, update epic/backlog, suggest next (END of story lifecycle)
- `*backlog-add` — Add item to story backlog (follow-up/tech-debt/enhancement)
- `*backlog-review` — Generate backlog review for sprint planning
- `*stories-index` — Regenerate story index from docs/stories/
- `*execute-checklist-po` — Run PO master checklist

## Non-negotiables

- Task files under `.aiox-core/development/tasks/` are executable workflows — follow exactly when invoked.
- No invention of requirements outside story/PRD/research.
- Only `/aiox-devops` may push or open PRs.
