# Operator Pass Kickoff — adaptive router

## Activation

Loaded by `operator-pass` on bare invocation, or:

- "Operator Pass status"

- "Where do I start with the API"

## State detection

```python

state = {

"env_var_set": bool(os.environ.get("OPERATOR_PASS_API_KEY")),

"has_brand_config": file_exists("brand-config.json"),

"has_soul": file_exists("SOUL.md"),

"key_valid": api_get("/me") returns 200,

"quota_remaining": parse from /me response,

"cache_dir_exists": file_exists(".operator-pass-cache"),

"recent_calls": count of entries in usage.jsonl from last 7 days,

}

```

| State | Route to |

|---|---|

| `!env_var_set` | "Set OPERATOR_PASS_API_KEY. Subscribe at jaymountconsulting.com/operator-pass." |

| `env_var_set AND !key_valid` | "Key invalid or expired. Renew at jaymountconsulting.com/operator-pass." |

| `key_valid AND !has_brand_config OR !has_soul` | `operator-pass-onboarding` |

| `quota_remaining < 20%` | "⚠ Only X% quota remaining. Proceed carefully or upgrade." |

| `recent_calls == 0` | "No calls in the last 7 days. Want to try a sample call? `/operator-pass call cold-email-linter`" |

| else | "API ready. <quota>% quota. <N> recent calls. What do you want to do?" |

```
