Create Organization From Project

Create a dedicated org workspace from an existing project repo, without leaving governance mixed into deployable source code.

Use this when the user wants:

• "create organization" for an existing project
• a clean split between code and governance
• ~/Orgs/<OrgName> created from ~/Projects/<project-name>
• a dedicated org GitHub repo

Do not use this for greenfield projects with no codebase yet. Use org-coach directly there.

Outcome

After this workflow:

• ~/Projects/<project-name> contains only source code, assets, deployment config, and tests
• ~/Orgs/<OrgName> contains governance, domains, roles, coordination, inbox, and agent definitions
• both workspaces have clear CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md contracts
• local registries point to the correct org and code paths
• optional: the org workspace has its own GitHub repo

Step 1: Inspect the project first

Read the project repo before moving anything:

• README.md
• CLAUDE.md
• AGENTS.md
• top-level tree
• any existing governance folders such as logbook/, domains/, roles/, coordination/, inbox/, .claude/

Decide whether the repo is:

• code-only already
• mixed code + org
• partially organized and needs cleanup

Step 2: Use org-coach to detect the situation

Run the org-coach logic against the project context.

If the repo already has:

• a CLAUDE.md with ## Structure
• primary driver, strategy, roles, domains, and policies

Then treat it as an existing organization and do a logbook review first.

If not, create the org from scratch using org-coach on autopilot, but still source context from the project repo.

Step 3: Create the org workspace

Create ~/Orgs/<OrgName> as a separate git repo.

Default shape:

• CLAUDE.md
• AGENTS.md
• README.md
• .gitignore
• logbook/
• domains/
• roles/
• coordination/
• .claude/agents/
• optional inbox/

Keep this workspace focused on governance and operations, not deployable source code.

Step 4: Split code vs org artifacts

Move org artifacts out of the project repo into the org workspace.

Usually move:

• logbook/
• domains/
• roles/
• coordination/
• .claude/
• inbox/
• org-level CLAUDE.md
• org-level AGENTS.md

Usually keep in the project repo:

• app/, src/, server/, components/
• public/, assets/, i18n/
• package.json, lockfiles, TS config, build config
• deployment files like vercel.json
• tests tied to implementation
• environment files and runtime config

Rule: governance belongs in ~/Orgs; product behavior and deployment belong in ~/Projects.

Step 5: Rewrite both roots

Org workspace

Make CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md say:

• org path
• code repo path
• structure map for governance files
• domain roles and AI agents
• working agreement: read code repo for implementation context, write org artifacts here

Project repo

Make README.md, CLAUDE.md, and AGENTS.md say:

• this is the code repo
• governance lives in ~/Orgs/<OrgName>
• this repo is source-code-only
• list code directories and deploy target

Step 6: Add the minimum org operating layer

At minimum, map these roles in the org repo:

• Instructor / Founder or equivalent human owner
• Coordinator for cross-domain synthesis and prioritization
• Autopilot for approved cross-domain execution
• Admin & Operator for systems ownership and account continuity

Also create:

• a systems ownership map under coordination/
• review cadence entries for those roles and maps

Step 7: Update registries

Update any local source-of-truth registries that route work:

• path registries in other org or ops docs
• local Codex / Claude project trust config
• any "project path registry" tables

If the user distinguishes org vs code, record both:

• montuno-club (org) -> ~/Orgs/MontunoClub
• montuno-club (code) -> ~/Projects/montuno-club

Step 8: Create the org GitHub repo if requested

If the user wants a dedicated remote:

1. initialize git in ~/Orgs/<OrgName> if needed
2. make the initial commit
3. create a separate GitHub repo, usually <code-repo>-org
4. add origin
5. push main

Default to private unless the user says otherwise, because org repos often contain governance and operational material.

Verification

Before calling it done, verify:

• project repo top level is code-focused only
• org repo top level contains governance folders
• both roots have clear docs
• path registries point at the correct locations
• if a GitHub repo was created, origin exists and main tracks origin/main

Common Mistakes

• Moving tests or deploy config into the org repo
• Leaving stale path references to the old mixed repo layout
• Treating Coordinator as execution instead of synthesis
• Forgetting Autopilot
• Creating the org repo but not pushing its default branch
• Keeping governance inside the code repo "temporarily" and never finishing the split

Example Trigger

User: "cleanup org files from project and create clear org structure under ~/Orgs/MontunoClub. project should contain only source code."

Response pattern:

1. inspect current repo layout
2. run org-coach logic on the existing artifacts
3. create ~/Orgs/MontunoClub
4. move governance folders there
5. rewrite both repo roots
6. update registries
7. optionally create razbakov/<name>-org
