## Current Product Direction

Kairo is not a task list.

Kairo is the operational Program Director of the Jinkendo product family.

The central question is:

> Which next step moves an initiative forward most effectively now?

---

## Do not reduce Kairo to

```text
Initiative
  → Action
```

This is only the first technical slice.

The canonical operating model includes:

- Initiative
- Project optional
- Milestone
- BacklogItem
- Action
- Assignment to Actor
- Blocker
- Decision
- Evidence
- Review
- RecurringElement
- AttentionItem
- NextActionCandidate

---

## Current implementation state

Valid but incomplete:

- Tenant
- Actor
- TenantContext
- Capabilities
- Entitlements
- Initiative
- Action
- Assignment
- Workspace UX

Missing MVP-critical concepts:

- Data Layer
- Actor Directory
- Tenant Invariants
- Backlog
- Blocker
- Milestone
- Evidence
- Review
- Recurrence
- Attention / Next Action

---

## Implementation rule

Do not continue foundation work unless it directly supports MVP usability or prevents a documented refactoring trap.

Do not continue prompt/AI/workflow/MCP work until the operating model MVP is restored.

---

## Gate for new tasks

Every new task must answer:

1. Does it support the operational Program Director vision?
2. Does it improve real initiative steering?
3. Does it prevent a concrete refactoring trap?
4. Is it a small verifiable slice?
5. Are non-goals explicit?

If not, do not implement.
