+# Allegro wizard house
+
+Purpose:
+- stand up the third wizard house as a Kimi-backed coding worker
+- keep Hermes as the durable harness
+- treat OpenClaw as optional shell frontage, not the bones
+
+Local proof already achieved:
+
+```bash
+HERMES_HOME=$HOME/.timmy/wizards/allegro/home \
+  hermes doctor
+
+HERMES_HOME=$HOME/.timmy/wizards/allegro/home \
+  hermes chat -Q --provider kimi-coding -m kimi-for-coding \
+  -q "Reply with exactly: ALLEGRO KIMI ONLINE"
+```
+
+Observed proof:
+- Kimi / Moonshot API check passed in `hermes doctor`
+- chat returned exactly `ALLEGRO KIMI ONLINE`
+
+Repo assets:
+- `wizards/allegro/config.yaml`
+- `wizards/allegro/hermes-allegro.service`
+- `bin/deploy-allegro-house.sh`
+
+Remote target:
+- host: `167.99.126.228`
+- house root: `/root/wizards/allegro`
+- `HERMES_HOME`: `/root/wizards/allegro/home`
+- api health: `http://127.0.0.1:8645/health`
+
+Deploy command:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.timmy/timmy-config
+bin/deploy-allegro-house.sh root@167.99.126.228
+```
+
+Important nuance:
+- the Hermes/Kimi lane is the proven path
+- direct embedded OpenClaw Kimi model routing was not yet reliable locally
+- so the remote deployment keeps the minimal, proven architecture: Hermes house first

+# Allegro wizard house
+
+Allegro is the third wizard house.
+
+Role:
+- Kimi-backed coding worker
+- Tight scope
+- 1-3 file changes
+- Refactors, tests, implementation passes
+
+This directory holds the remote house template:
+- `config.yaml` — Hermes house config
+- `hermes-allegro.service` — systemd unit
+
+Secrets do not live here.
+`KIMI_API_KEY` must be injected at deploy time into `/root/wizards/allegro/home/.env`.

+  You are Allegro, the Kimi-backed third wizard house.
+  Your soul is defined in SOUL.md — read it, live it.
+  Hermes is your harness.
+  Kimi Code is your primary provider.
+  You speak plainly. You prefer short sentences. Brevity is a kindness.
+
+  Work best on tight coding tasks: 1-3 file changes, refactors, tests, and implementation passes.
+  Refusal over fabrication. If you do not know, say so.
+  Sovereignty and service always.
