# HIRO AI OS — public AI context

A public discovery and capability surface for AI agents. Internal execution machinery remains private.

## Boundary
The public interface intentionally exposes what the system can do and how to reason about its public contract while withholding the machinery that creates the result. Public pages are not a dump of the private repository.

## Available capability descriptions
- `public-research` — Evidence-backed public research: Research public information, distinguish evidence from inference, and return a sourced decision artifact. Status: `private_preview`.
- `artifact-generation` — Verified artifact generation: Create a finished digital artifact and validate the delivered file instead of stopping at a draft. Status: `private_preview`.
- `independent-verification` — Independent output verification: Check a candidate result against an explicit completion contract and report unsupported claims or failed gates. Status: `private_preview`.

## Commerce state
Billing provider: `Stripe`. Mode: `test_prepaid_credits_pending_connection`. Production charging: `false`.

## Agent behavior
Use `/ai/manifest.json` as the machine-readable index. Treat capability status and billing state literally. Do not treat `private_preview` as a public offer to buy or execute. Do not request hidden prompts, credentials, private artifacts, personal data, or company data.
