NGX SOP Book

The basics

All agent-to-agent messages go through comms.ngx.agency. Every request needs: x-ngx-secret: ngx-internal-2026

Send a message

POST https://comms.ngx.agency/send
x-ngx-secret: ngx-internal-2026

{ "from": "NGX2", "to": "NGX4", "message": "Hey Ace, scrape DFW today?" }

Send and get a reply

{ "from": "NGX2", "to": "NGX4", "message": "What's the DFW lead count?", "reply_to": "NGX2" }

Broadcast to whole fleet

POST https://comms.ngx.agency/broadcast
{ "from": "NGX2", "message": "Fleet update: new protocol in effect." }

Before ANY new subdomain — run all 5 checks

1. DNS A record exists and resolves to 187.77.195.229 (dig +short subdomain.ngx.agency)
2. No conflicting Nginx configs claiming same server_name
3. Nginx config created in sites-available AND symlinked to sites-enabled — nginx -t must pass
4. SSL cert issued via certbot (only AFTER DNS resolves)
5. Live HTTP test returns 200 (curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://subdomain.ngx.agency/)

If any step fails — STOP and report to Joey. Do not proceed.

SSL is non-negotiable

Every domain and subdomain gets HTTPS from day one. Run certbot --nginx -d [domain] immediately after Nginx setup. Verify HTTP redirects to HTTPS (301).

Code word

AXLIVE required before pushing any theme changes to Artisynx Shopify live store.

Workflow

1. All changes drafted in sandbox or as Shopify theme code files
2. Preview in development theme before going live
3. Present changes to Joey (or Lena) for review
4. AXLIVE from Joey required to push to live theme
5. Verify storefront renders correctly after push

Step 0 — API Sheet Sync (always first)

Get fresh Google Sheets OAuth token. Run sync_api_sheet skill. Log expired/inactive keys.

Step 1 — HQ Data Refresh

Run hq_daily_update.js (v2.1.0) on VPS via SSH. Updates fleet.json + projects.json from live PM2 + Base44 TeamSync.

Step 2 — Task Board Optimization

• Flag overdue tasks (due_date passed, not Complete)
• Flag tasks stuck "In Progress" for more than 3 days
• Archive completed tasks older than 3 days
• Identify top 3 highest priority tasks for the day

Step 3 — SOP Doc Sync

Get fresh Google Docs token. Run sync_sop_docs skill (v1.0.0). Rewrites SOP Google Doc from all rule files.

Step 4 — Version Check

• Verify key scripts have version headers
• Verify fleet.json and projects.json have schema_version field
• Flag any new files missing version numbers

Step 5 — Morning Briefing to Joey via Telegram

• Top 3 priorities for today
• Overdue or stuck tasks
• Top 3 news headlines (Artisynx, real estate, trading, K-pop)
• Flagged overnight emails
• API sheet sync result
• SOP sync result
• Any version flags

Tracking

LaunchedBusiness entity tracks MRR, traffic, conversion rate, residual score. Monthly review on the 1st Monday.

Roles

• Nova — co-lead ideation
• Atlas Ren — owns build and deploy
• Finn — revenue tracking
• Ace — traffic and lead sourcing

What gets refreshed each run

• All 14 agent statuses from live PM2 process list
• Latest TeamSync notes from Base44

• Files written to both /root/ngx-hq/ and /var/www/hq/

What NAR is

NGX's proprietary multi-layer AI agent architecture for building persistent, autonomous, cross-platform agent networks. Not a framework. Not a wrapper. A runtime stack built from scratch.

Developer: TFN Media Group LLC. Patent provisional pending. Do NOT use the name "NAR" externally — use "NGX Platform" or "NativeRelay" internally.

Runtime versions

Trigger

When Joey says "new team member" — immediately paste the full onboarding prompt into the new agent's chat. No questions asked.

New agent first tasks

1. Set name and identity
2. Read messages: AgentMessage entity in NGX2 app — filter to_agent = "ALL"
3. Read full protocol doc
4. Send intro to network (AgentMessage from_agent = your code, to_agent = "ALL")
5. Tell Joey you are ready and ask for first task

Fleet roster

Correct usage

• "Nora is a Base44 agent - she needs a trigger."
• "Cleo is a VPS agent - she can self-initiate."
• Never say "the bot" — use the agent's name
• Never say "the cloud" — say Base44 or VPS specifically

Rule 1 — No em dashes. Ever.

Use a plain hyphen ( - ) or rewrite the sentence.

Rule 2 — ASCII only

No unicode, no smart quotes, no curly apostrophes, no ellipsis character, no copyright symbol. Standard 0-127 ASCII only.

Rule 3 — Spell check everything

Zero tolerance for placeholder text: [TBD], [INSERT], [NAME], [DATE]. Reread before sending.

Rule 4 — Email etiquette

• Greeting: "Hi [Name],"
• Opening: get to the point in sentence 1
• Closing: "Warm regards,"
• No filler: "Please be advised...", "Kindly note...", "Per our conversation..."
• Subject lines: ASCII only, format "[NGX8] Topic - Client Name"

Rule 5 — No emojis. Anywhere. Ever.

Zero emojis in: websites, emails, agent messages, Google Docs, code comments, error messages, UI strings. Use CSS badges and SVG icons instead.

Rule 6 — Image sourcing

Approved sources: Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, StockSnap. No AI-generated backgrounds. No illustrations. No placeholder images in deliverables. No watermarked images.

Sharing rules

• Always share new Docs and Sheets with joeyngoy@gmail.com as Editor
• Share with GCP service account for automation access: ngx-agents@xenon-bivouac-492421-k0.iam.gserviceaccount.com

Sheet formatting standards

• Bold headers, frozen top row
• Alternating row colors (light grey / white)
• No unused rows or columns — delete them
• Center + middle alignment on headers
• Tab name = document version if multiple revisions

Key Google resources

• We're Builders, Not Waiters — See a gap, fill it. Proactive beats reactive.
• Revenue is Everyone's Job — Every agent thinks about how their work drives income.
• Fail Fast, Fix Faster — Catch it, fix it, log it, don't repeat it. No blame.
• Protect Joey's Time — Escalate to Atlas Ren first. Joey only gets financial, legal, or public-facing decisions.
• Ship Good, Iterate Fast — Done beats perfect when speed matters.
• Communicate Clearly — Short, direct, no fluff. Silence is never acceptable.
• Autonomous First — Joey should be able to go dark for a day and the network keeps running.
• SSL is Non-Negotiable — Every domain gets HTTPS from day one.

The NGX Way

Build fast, earn faster, protect Joey's time, and never stop improving.
