- Agricultural vehicles and CA motorhomes exempt (stay at 1x/year)
- Creates massive demand for credentialed testers
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY:
- Estimated 1.2M additional tests/year needed statewide

Belichick Dispatch Protocol
When a RECON command comes through Slack, Belichick follows this protocol:
1. RECEIVE command from Slack
2. VALIDATE:
- Is the requesting user authorized?
- Is the requested agent available?
- Is there budget for this mission?
3. DISPATCH to appropriate agent(s)
- Post dispatch confirmation to #agent-status (see format below)
- Set agent status to BUSY
4. MONITOR execution
- Enforce timeout (5 min max)
- Watch for errors
5. DELIVER results to appropriate channel
- ALWAYS lead with agent name (see message format rules below)
- Attach files if applicable
6. LOG mission
- Agent used, tokens consumed, time elapsed
- Post summary to #agent-status
Message Format Rules - Agent Names FIRST
Every Slack message from the system follows this format so you always know WHO is talking:
Dispatch confirmation (posted to #agent-status):
[DISPATCHED] Lead Scraper → /recon-leads "trucking companies in Dallas TX"
Requested by: @gillis | Channel: #recon-leads | Timeout: 5 min
Agent working (posted to #agent-status):
[BUSY] Lead Scraper — querying Google Places API (47 results so far)
[BUSY] Sentinel + Mila-Legal — scanning eCFR + ILGA databases
Mission complete (posted to target channel):
[Lead Scraper] LEAD HUNT COMPLETE: "trucking companies in Dallas TX"
[Sentinel + Mila-Legal] LEGAL RECON COMPLETE: "CARB 2027 quarterly testing"
[Kesha + Musk] MARKET INTEL: "diesel emissions testing California"
[Mila-CARB] COMPLIANCE CHECK: VIN ...9186
[Jon Jones + Lead Scraper] PROSPECT DOSSIER: Pacific Fleet LLC
Errors (posted to #alerts):
[TIMEOUT] Sentinel — /recon-legal timed out after 5 min. Task killed.
[ERROR] Lead Scraper — Google Places API returned 429 (rate limited). Retry in 60s.
[KILL] Belichick killed Sentinel per @gillis command.
The pattern is always: [AGENT NAME] what happened. No exceptions.
Make.com Integration (Webhook Bridge)
If running ClawdBot locally, use Make.com as the webhook bridge between Slack and your Mac:
Slack Slash Command
→ Make.com Webhook (receives the command)
→ HTTP Request to ClawdBot Gateway (localhost via Cloudflare Tunnel or ngrok)
→ Belichick dispatches agent
→ Agent completes task
→ ClawdBot → Make.com → Slack Incoming Webhook
→ Results posted to correct channel
Make.com Scenario Setup:
- Trigger: Slack - Watch for slash command
- Router: Route based on command type (leads/legal/market/compliance/prospect)
- HTTP Module: POST to ClawdBot gateway with task payload
- Wait Module: Wait for agent response (up to 5 min)
- Slack Module: Post formatted results to target channel
- Error Handler: Post failure to #alerts if agent times out or errors
Cron-Based Recurring RECON
Status Pulse (the board you can always check)
Belichick posts a status pulse to #agent-status on a cron schedule so you ALWAYS know the state of the board without asking.
Schedule: Every 2 hours during business hours (8 AM - 8 PM), plus on-demand via /agent-status
Status Pulse format:
AGENT STATUS PULSE — Feb 15, 2026 10:00 AM

Security & Guardrails
- Authorized users only - Slack user allowlist for slash commands
- Budget caps - Kill mission if token spend exceeds threshold
- No PII in Slack - Agents strip sensitive data before posting
- Audit trail - All dispatches logged with user, time, agent, cost
- Kill switch -
/kill [agent] immediately terminates any running mission
- Channel isolation - Agents can ONLY post to their designated channels
- Rate limiting - Max 10 recon missions per hour to prevent runaway costs
