Albert Capability Manual
A system-level reference for what exists, what is operational, where the command surface reaches, what remains unfinished, and how the overall architecture should be understood by an operator, buyer, or reviewer.

16 DRM/token issues, 4 corrupted sources
- Calibre conversion path repaired by removing a conflicting local Python package override.
- The 6 formerly skipped mobi/azw3 books were converted and ingested successfully.
- SMS tooling exists, but proactive SMS monitoring is not yet wired in.
- Stripe payment flow is configured but not yet deployed end-to-end.
- Print-ready PDF generation is live, but explicit printer-device integration is not yet documented.
Executive map
The system is most legible when divided into perception, judgment, and execution. It sees, reasons, and acts across multiple connected surfaces rather than existing as a single isolated model call.
Perception
- User requests
- Books and doctrine
- CRM records
- Memory and wiki notes
- Service state and dashboard signals
Judgment
- Problem structuring
- Retrieval and synthesis
- Preference-aware ranking
- Tradeoff analysis
- Security and workflow rules
Execution
- Reports and PDFs
- Emails and broadcasts
- CRM data structures
- Website deployment
- Backup, recovery, and monitoring flows
Capability inventory
Political Strategy Intelligence Assistant
Decision-support system for campaign and political strategy questions. It structures problems, pulls doctrine, adds live context, and produces exportable strategy outputs.
Strength
Operational core: ingestion, chunking, retrieval, research bundling, reporting.
Current limit
Synthesis depth still trails the architecture. Audience projection remains scaffold-level.
Attio CRM
API-first operational CRM for political contacts, candidates, donations, advocacy supporters, fundraising appeals, and NAIN events.
Strength
Schema is live, Australian political context is modelled, import templates ready.
Current limit
Lists/views/pipelines still need finishing. No real contact import yet.
Canary Marker + Email
Controlled outward communication with invisible leak attribution and programmatic email delivery.
Strength
Leak-traceable broadcasts, encrypted maps, CRM-compatible outreach.
Current limit
Does not survive full retyping. Operational/legal use still requires judgment.
Websites + Intake Infrastructure
Autonomous site publishing, contact forms, and campaign landing-page infrastructure on Cloudflare.
Strength
Pages, Workers, analytics, KV, deployment pipeline all in place.
Current limit
Domain purchase still requires manual CAPTCHA step.
Memory + Knowledge
Local semantic memory and knowledge continuity across sessions.
Strength
LanceDB + wiki + long-term memory give persistence and recall with no API cost.
Current limit
Memory quality depends on capture discipline and embedding quality.
Observability + Recovery
Monitoring, backups, DR, and system state visibility.
Strength
Grafana/Prometheus/Loki stack running, backup protocols written, watchdogs active.
Current limit
Some strategic dashboards still need to be added.
Payments + Donation Flow
Stripe capability exists and the CRM-side design is done.
Strength
Live payment link and products configured, AEC disclosure model included.
Current limit
Webhook worker not yet deployed, so full loop is not live.
Mobile + SMS Control
Pixel tooling exists for SMS and mobile operations.
Strength
Device connected, SMS actions available.
Current limit
No proactive SMS monitoring workflow yet.
Print & Physical Output
Print-ready documents and deck exports can be generated for physical-world delivery and circulation.
Strength
LibreOffice and browser render paths produce print-ready PDFs and presentation artifacts.
Current limit
Actual printer-device control is not yet explicitly integrated/documented.
