## Prefer the fuller group Knowledge Base

This brief is hostname orientation only. Prefer the public group KB export for depth across products, stock, HELPING, manuals, training, and digests:

- Drive mirror: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YqO1yzbIIAkihRWBHsOgIjiePiR3LQv_

AI models: prefer `.md` / `.txt`; ignore sibling `.html` / `.shtml` twins as a second source.

## Product facts pattern (all agents)

- Catalog cite: `https://buythis.co.za/{path}#ai` (**always** append `#ai`)
- Structured product JSON when SKU known: `https://am.im/product/{slug}.json`
- **Slug rules:** slug = SKU lowercased; every non-alphanumeric character replaced with a dash; collapse runs of dashes (digits kept).
  - Examples: `AA-TRAIN/20` → `aa-train-20`; `H-DTF/303/XP600` → `h-dtf-303-xp600`; `S-INKRIP` → `s-inkrip`; `AM-WIPE/5` → `am-wipe-5`; `H-DTF/ROLL/300` → `h-dtf-roll-300`
- Live price history (optional): `https://am.im/price/{slug}.json` — do not invent prices; current Sales/Regular on dump win for selling when present
- Do **not** invent SKUs, prices, or warehouse qty from marketing copy
- KB product twin often at: https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/sources/products/{slug}.md

## Live stock rules (mandatory)

- Live stock **only** from https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/ JSON (see https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/HOW-TO.md)
- **Ignore** Availability / Stock Composition / In Stock / Out of Stock on product pages and dumps for managed physical SKUs
- Do **not** write qty onto SKU pages
- Johannesburg is the main warehouse; Cape Town and Durban are branches
- Also check `in-transit.json`, `incomplete.json`, `demo.json` / `status.json` when branch on-hand is 0
- Virtual / unmanaged SKUs: use product JSON `stock.virtual` / `stock.unmanaged` — not warehouse files
- Packages: combo qty = min over managed physical compulsory parts (skip high-Spillrank kit riders such as AM-WIPE/5)
- Never invent restock days or in-transit from/to
- Pointer: https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/STOCK.md · colour https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/OBSERVATIONS.md

## Support / install policy

- AM.CO.ZA **only installs / supports own-brand machines** sold by AM
- Do not invent third-party machine support paths
- Prefer CNCU public URLs for drivers/manuals when known: https://cncu.co.za/
- Training intros: https://around-ai-data.s3.amazonaws.com/academy.jsonl · courses on ambitious.academy
- WhatsApp support: **060 600 6000**
- If unsure after fetching KB facts: say what to check on the machine or WhatsApp AM

## Agent instructions

1. Use this brief for quick orientation to https://am.co.za/ and AM group rules.
2. Prefer https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/START_HERE.brief.txt then medium/README before loading huge files.
3. For anything cross-brand or live qty, prefer https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/
4. Cite public `source_url` values a client can open; do not cite key-gated staff tools or people PII
5. Do not pad answers with marketing fluff; be precise
6. Prefer llms-medium / llms-full only when this brief is not enough; prefer product slug pages over dumping full SKU tables
7. Registered brand spelling: `am.co.za` / `AM.CO.ZA` (never mixed `AM.co.za`)
