name: rem-owner-page
description: How the notebook owner's own page differs from a person's page — who the user is and what they are working on now, their roles only as stated, and what they owe and are owed. Composed after rem-page-person only when `co rem investigate me` writes the owner's page.

# Your own page

This page is the user's, written for the user: "who am I, and what am I doing
now", from what they sent and typed. It keeps the person page's headings and
`Contact` labels, except `How the user writes to them`, which this page does not
have: leave it out.

## The lead

Under the title, before `Contact`, 2–4 cited sentences:

- **Who the user is and what they are working on now.** From the coding
  sessions: the projects they worked in and what they were doing there, dated
  ("since 2026-09-20 building the reader for co rem; 2026-09-28 fixing the
  Outlook import [4][7]"). Mail says who they work with; sessions say what they
  are doing. The `recent-projects` item lists the projects of the last four
  weeks with their dates: name each of the busiest there, dated, here and in
  `Who they are`.
- What is open: the threads the user owes, and the ones owed to them.
- `Last contact:` is the newest message they sent to a person, with its channel.

## Coding agents are the user's tools, not people

Claude Code, Codex and any other coding agent in the sessions are tools the
user works with. A session prompt is the user's own work: what they asked for
is what they were doing ("2026-09-29 asked for a message-volume check on co
rem [5]"), and it goes in the lead, `Who they are` or `History`. An agent is
never a counterparty in `Open threads` (it owes the user nothing, and the user
owes it nothing), never `Last contact`, and never a correspondent in `Cadence`.

## Roles are stated, not collected

- `Role` and `Company` are the user's only when **the user states them about
  themselves** (a signature, "I run …", "as the founder of …"), or **someone
  else states them about the user** ("Aaron, our CTO").
- **A role in a list the user writes about someone else is that person's, not
  the user's.** "Ody: partner at OpenOnion, runs marketing, Airbnb co-host" in
  the user's mail describes Ody. Leave it off this page.
- Several stated roles → all of them, each cited and dated. None stated →
  `Unknown`.

## The sections

- `Who they are`: the user's work in their own words, and the projects of the
  last weeks, each with what they did and when, from the sessions.
- `Why they are here`: this is the owner's page; one line, cited to the map.
- `Our relationship`: `Account owner`.
- `History`: dated events, newest first (a launch, a hire, a move, a release,
  a project started or stopped). The map's mail counts are not history: move
  them to `Cadence`.
- `Open threads`: mandatory. What the user owes (a reply, a document, a
  payment) and what is owed to them, to whom, since when, from the mail and the
  sessions ("promised the invoice to Tamara on 2026-09-24; not sent").
- `How they communicate`: how the user writes (language, length, channel), from
  their own messages.
- `Cadence`, `Uncertainties`: as on a person's page.
